Description:

ATLAS, a symphonic rock band formed in the southern Swedish city of Malmo in 1974, released their only album on Sweden's Bellatrix label in 1979, which was reissued in analog in 2011 by Replica Records in France! The instrumental sound of the twin keyboards of Bjorn Ekborn and Erik Bjorn Nielsen has a strong fantastical color with full synths, angular Hammond organ, and ethereal Mellotron, while the sharp rhythm section creates an upper-register sound, The sharp rhythm section's upper register reveals elements of jazz crossover, resulting in a stylish sound that has nuances in common with Canterbury music.The piano has a clear and dignified tone similar to Scandinavian jazz, and the over 14-minute long 'Pa Gata' has a folk music flavor that also brings to mind his fellow countryman Samla Mannas Manna. This is a gem recommended for fans of CAMEL/Canterbury music as well!
