The German band Atlantis is not in the archives yet, but I consider their first two albums to be prog-related at least; the first one might even be considered to be a prog album by some, especially since three of the musicians on them (singer Inga Rumpf, keyboarder Jean-Jacques Kravetz and bass player Karl-Heinz Schott) also played in Frumpy (who are in the archives). Only guitar and bass are played by other musicians (Frank Diez on guitar and Curt Cress on drums on the first album, Dieter Bornschlegel on guitar and Ringo Funk on drums on the second). But their best album is the glorious "Live at Fabrik", though admittedly it has very little to do with prog. The band fires on all cylinders on it, and the final track "Leave it to the Devil" is so ecstatic it almost drives me to tears. Inga Rumpf's husky voice is wonderful, and she is one hell of a shouter. Is anybody familiar with this band? Their first two albums can be found on YouTube (though the first one track by track only). I will give the links here: First self-titled album: Second album "It's Getting Better": And here the first track of their "Live at Fabrik" album (unfortunately the only one on YouTube). Man, I just love Inga Rumpf live! -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

This band has already been suggested twice for inclusion in http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=1" rel="nofollow - Suggest New Bands and Artists . Here: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67174" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67174 (May 2010) and here (by yourself!): http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=69209" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=69209 (July 2010) They were evaluated by Eclectic, who thought Prog Related was the best place for them, but this is not an easy category to get into, with strict entry requirements (they need to be very well known, highly influential on others etc etc), and would need to be proposed (with a strong case made to present to admins) by a Special Collaborator.

Both the previous threads are still open - perhaps you might want to post in the earlier one started by ozzy_tom to get them looked at again rather than starting a fresh thread here?

They are extremely well-known and highly influential in Germany! And a band that shares three members with a band that is already in the archives (Frumpy) and had other members in their line-uup who appear in other bands which are in the archives (Dieter Bornschlegel with Guru Guru, Curt Cress with Passport, Lucifer's Friend and on an album by John Wetton, Frank Diez with Ihre Kinder), Ringo Funk with Jeronimo) is in my opinion definitely prog-related. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Yes I have heard of Atlantis. This band had members, Alex Conti (guitar) and Adrian Askew (keyboards) from the band Lake. I am a big fan of Lake by the way, having all their albums except the last one.
