Aphrodite’s Child 666 The Apocalypse Of St John: 50th Anniversary Boxset

If The Rolling Stones’ notorious free concert at Altamont in December 1969 signalled the end of the ’60s’ hippie ideal, then Aphrodite’s Child’s 666 is the sacrificial ceremony where the hopes and dreams of that decade are finally turned to dust in a beautiful, cacophonous, ridiculous melange of progressive rock, psychedelic folk, Greek myth, Christian scripture, Monty Python surrealism and countercultural conspiracy. The victims at this ceremony? Aphrodite’s Child themselves, whose four members went their separate ways long before this controversial 83-minute double-album based on the Book of Revelations was released in June 1972, two years after the band...

Bob Dylan, Usher Hall, Edinburgh, November 5, 2024

If, at this late date, you still need proof Bob Dylan is not a man to be trusted, then this unexpected return to the UK for the latest leg of the Rough And Rowdy Ways tour is a good place to start. Certainly, after the triumphant fourth and final show at the London Palladium – with its two extra curtain calls – you could have been forgiven for thinking that Dylan was bidding farewell to the capital, before making a last, dignified excursion round the country. So it came as a surprise when this latest run of 10 UK...

Quincy Jones: “I learned the difference between music and the music business”

This article originally appeared in Uncut Take 163 from December 2010 Quincy Jones keeps Uncut waiting for an hour before we’re finally ushered into his presence. Thankfully, this proves to be the only evidence of prima donna behaviour from the legendary producer and arranger – when we finally meet, he’s charming and affable, brandishing photos of his kids and relating tales of his extensive travels (China is a current obsession). As we talk through a handful of his many career highs, “Q” heads off on entertaining tangents: numerology, the banning of slave drums in 1692 America, the similarity between...

The Cure, The Troxy, London, November 1 2024

It’s probably a couple of decades too late, but Robert Smith is finding that his deepest fears are coming true. Now aged 65, he recently fretted about whether he’d make it to 70 – and still be around to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Cure. Certainly, the coal-black angst and existential melancholia that has become the band’s stock-in-trade has taken on an additional potency in the last few years: health scares proliferated, loved ones have died. We have become used to venerable artists like Dylan, Neil Young and Springsteen ruminating on ageing and mortality, now it seems that...
