ATLANTIDE s/t LP French Prog w/ J.P. Massiera on Crypto

$

67

This wonderful album is one of J.P. Massiera’s projects—he composed all the music and words.  Atlantide’s band members come from groups like Carpe Diem, Orion, and Visitors.  The music here symphonic prog rock; this needs to be specified, because Massiera’s other albums cover a wide array of styles, but progheads will love this one.  It’s clear they like Yes—the 9-minute title track may have you wondering from whence they unearthed the previously unknown Yes song!—but other references have been made to King Crimson, Atoll, and Pulsar.  Released in France on the Crypto label in 1976.  The cover is in Ex and the record is in M-- condition.  (For more info on my grading system, click on the “me” icon above.)
