Atlantis Philharmonic ~ USA ~ Cleveland, Ohio


Atlantis Philharmonic (1974)

Atlantis Philharmonic is a duo formed in the Cleveland area. Despite the small lineup, it sounds like a much larger ensemble with a full array of keyboards (primarily organ), guitar, bass, drums, and quite a bit of percussion. The album contains a mix of instrumental and vocal work, and even veers towards the commercial in a couple of places. In this way, Atlantis Philharmonic is clearly a product of the Midwest progressive rock scene. It's heritage is obvious on repeated listens. A long time favorite of mine.

    Need to get this LP again myself, very good album. From what I can recall, there was no insert and the back cover may have just had a picture of each member in a blue-hued medium shot.
