back in stock. by the time vangelis starts working on the third aphrodite's child album his friend argyris koulouris joins the band after fulfilling his army duty in greece. at the end of 1970 a conceptual album, based on the a part of the new testament, the apocalypse of st. john is conceived by vangelis and costas ferris. the entire album takes over a year to complete, and when it is finally ready for release, the band has already split up, with all members working on solo albums. production problems for the album are numerous, as the band members were not on very good terms during the recording sessions. then mercury, the band's record label adds to the troubles by objecting to the specific content of the album, and although vangelis refuses to remove offending tracks (such as 'oo' infinity), the album is brought back to the released issue of 80 minutes.
