ATLANTIDE ” FRANCESCO TI RICORDI” (MELLOTRON) 2014 SEALED REISSUE

Very consistent but for some, maybe at the cost of variety. Chunky fuzz guitar riffs and organ, slightly progressive but more hard rock (Deep Purple style) with a certain amount of punk energy. in the drumming especially. ATLANTIDE was a rather unusual Italian progressive rock band of the 1970s in a few ways. Firstly the band which featured the four brothers Mimmo Sanseverino (guitar, vocals), Mario Sanseverino (bass), Leonardo Sanseverino (organ, keyboards) and Matteo Sanseverino (drums) was formed in 1972 in the small ancient village of Cirigliano, Italy which is located to the far south but the following year in 1973 the members mysteriously picked up and relocated to the town of Rottweil, Germany where they spent the next few years playing with bands like Message, Atlantis and the Scorpions and garnered favorable reviews and interest however the band wouldn’t release its one and only album FRANCESCO TI RICORDI until 1976 which ironically saw the one and only album of the French band of the same name released.
