Love this IAA 5.1 FLAC. The music and the mix are stunning

I gotta admit that to my ears, Aphrodite's Child "666" is pretty weak tea to begin with, and I'm kinda surprised that anyone deemed it worthy of a quad remix & re-release.

It is not quad. It is a faked 5.1 and atmos remix by upmix adding multichannel reverb and comb filters and so on. There is no spatialisation at all of instruments. A con.

I should clarify that I'm not speaking here of the new multi-channel mix, ersatz quad or not, but just the original (stereo) album itself and its spotty merits. To my ears, it's kind of a kitschy "art rock" project, certainly ambitious for Greek pop-meisters Aphrodite's Child, but a lot of bizarre avant-garde '60's affections making the whole ship tilt conspicuously.

Like, I'm sure, everyone on this website, wish they'd mine Vangelis' stellar back catalogue for ATMOS remixes! Not a fan of Aphrodite's Child 666!
