Aphrodite's Child - 666

Yeah, shame, 68 is too young. RIP Demis.

RIP Demis - Four Horsemen is my second favourite rock song of all time and a solid lock for a desert island disc.

I was DJing on Saturday night and played I Dig You and that was the moment the entire night kicked off. It still sounds like magic.

'The Four Horsemen' is a work of genius. RIP.

I've said here it till I'm blue in the face but I like his first solo album ... the later one with Vangelis is good too.

:(

Love his performance on this one :

I always considered "My Face in the Rain" to be one of the most beautiful vocal performances ever, rest in peace man :(

Oh man, this is a huge bummer. He basically had the voice of God.

And Forever and Ever is one of the most glorious, sun-soaked, harpsichorded, balilaka'd-out pop albums ever.

SUCH A BANGER:

Also, this gloriously schmaltzy Morricone collab:

From Andrew Male of Mojo on Twitter:

Yer @signifyingwolf points out that, in 2009, the late, great Demis Roussos recorded a song called Who Give A Fuck...Sorry, that should have read A NINE-MINUTE DEMIS ROUSSOS SONG called WHO GIVES A FUCK?

RIP, what a legacy.

so if we add the vangelis album to the bayle piece that directly features recordings of the may 68 riots, what else is there? what is the ideal May 68 playlist?

Daevid Allen, "And His Adventures In the Land of Flip" (from the "Banana Moon" album (he plays guitar on the Francois Bayle piece mentioned in the original post too))
