ATLANTIDE, from France, is largely regarded as one of musical producer and engineer Jean-Pierre Massiera‘s major 1970s projects, rather than being highlighted as a short-lived ensemble. While their sole, self-titled album failed on the path towards popularity and promotion, it is instead significantly appreciated for the classic-sounding, obscure and rare French prog treat it mirrors. Massiera’s endless activity and broad achievements are too prolific to be covered here. His other notable (if not only) prog rock projects were VISITORS (1974; 1981), AFTER LIFE (1975) and HUMAN EGG (1978). He also appeared as a guest vocalist on WAPPASOU’s first.
Brainstorming over the initial sketches, mastering the melodies, pushing the arrangements into the complex, modulating, branched or rehearsing during many night sessions – all this lasted more than the recording, which was done swiftly, par-constrainedly in five weeks. Even here, though, changes hardly ceased, covering from new studio sounds & overdubbing to adding new instruments such as the initially-absent mellotron or the sitar (Torrelli playing both). Atlantide‘s final form was a five-piece, 30 minutes unveilling. It was released in 1976 on Crypto, but, as mentioned earlier, the lack of promotion, concerts and immediate reception limped the work’s success – and drove the artists to abandon the project soon afterwards. Torelli was the only artist who genuinely continued working with Massaire, notably in Human Egg or the disco-oriented JMP & Co. Musea re-released this album in 1994, with four bonus tracks, surprisingly from Human Egg instead of being extended takes or unrecorded material from the Atlantide bulk.
