Various Artists - Oddities Volumes 1 & 2

To celebrate the opening of my new blog Audio Oddities here are two excellent volumes of Oddities for your listening pleasure. Lots of oddities are on their way to the new blog as well as here at Twisted Perceptions. Click here for Volume 1 & here for Volume 2.

Aphrodite's Child - End Of The World

Country: Greece

Year: 1968

I recently discovered the digitally remastered CD version of all 3 Aphrodite's Child albums on Fruit Gum records for just a dollar at Goodwill. Thought these albums would be perfect for the blog so here they are for all to enjoy. Click here to listen.

Aphrodite's Child - It's Five O'Clock

Country: Greece

Year: 1969

Here is the second album of progressive/psychedelic rock goodness from Aphrodite's Child. This one includes a couple of bonus tracks. Click here to listen.

Aphrodite's Child - 666

Country: Greece

Year: 1972

This double album is recognized as one of the most important early progressive rock works and is a defining example of a concept album. Lots of info on Wikipedia so click here to read more about this album. Click here to listen.

Mike Oldfield - Amarok

Year: 1990

Country: UK

I recently took the one dollar gamble on this album mainly because of the list of instruments used to make this recording. I knew the name sounded familiar but Tubular Bells didn't pop into my head until I started listening. I've seen it listed as New Age but I'd call it Experimental. Click here to listen.
