Atlantide — Atlantide 1976 (France, Psychedelic-Progressive Rock)

The prototype for this band was a hard rock trio with the odd name "H," formed in Cannes in the early 1970s by drummer-vocalist Patrick Attali. Unfortunately, the names of the other two founding members have not been preserved, but it is known that new members soon joined the band: guitarist Bernard Torelli, bassist Aldo Lacomelli, and an organist, whose name, alas, has also been forgotten. The musicians performed hard rock with English lyrics, which, however, did not prevent them from winning first place at a local rhythm and blues and soul festival. Percussionist Jean-Luc Crema soon joined them, but the band suddenly disbanded in 1974. Despite the band's premature end, the musicians never lost hope of achieving fame and continued to work actively. In 1975, Patrick released a solo single and, along with Jean-Luc, found work at Azurville Studio in Antibes. The studio was run by producer, engineer, and musician Jean-Pierre Massiera, who had actually founded it in 1972. He had been known much earlier, though, as a member of two 1960s French rock bands, Les Milords and Les Monegasques. Massiera recorded numerous bands at his studio, so he was always in need of top-notch session musicians, including the aforementioned Attali and Crema, as well as drummer Jean-Marc Mountain.
