Synopsis

Product Description

Following the demise of Frumpy, German vocalist extraordinaire Inga Rumpf formed Atlantis with keyboardist Jean-Jaques Kravitz and guitarist Karl-Heinz Schott. Atlantis , their 1973 debut, is often cited as their classic release and comes across as a less Prog and more varied and focused sound than that found in the lengthy songs of Frumpy.

CD Reviews

Great

William R. Nicholas | Mahwah, NJ USA | 04/30/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"More great prog from the Vertigo cannon. Atlantis have all the features of most early 70s prog bands: mutiple part songs, sneaky time signitures, keyboards, keyboadrs and more keyboads

But this band had molodic insticts. The songs are almost pop in parts, with hummable melodic lines, played a lot with a delecate chime from a Fender Rhodes. Yet, the long avanues and sudden changes in rhythm in a lot of the numbers will quickly inform you, Atlantis was far from being a pop group. You could compare them to Yes, or Caravan, not so much in their sound, but their emphasis on melody and the pastorial over the disonece of bands like Egg and Vander Graff Generator. But Atalantis could also rock when they wanted, and that is clearly in evidence on this album.

Prog far above average. (Of course, it was on Vertigo)"
