Death Man - Música

This Group Has A Second Album. It Is Called Atlantis Philharmonic II Grand Master. This USA Duo Formed In Cleveland During The Early/mid 70’s By Royce Gibson On Drums And The Multi Instrumentalist Joe DiFazio On Everything Else. Their Style Is Mostly The Blending Of Symphonic Influences Like CAMEL ELP Etc With Some Fusion And A Bit Of The Sound Of The MOODY BLUES And Hard Rock By Moments. Their First And Only LP Is The 1974 Self Titled Album Released By The Label “Deutsche Harmonia Mundi”. The Eclectic Sound Of This Album Has Very Characteristic Features Like The Excellent Vocals Close To A Blend Of Psyche And Pop Plus A Hard Edged Guitar That Reminds Of Early ELP Or THE NICE With A Touch Of CAMEL. But This Isn’t All In Tracks As ”Friends” We Can Finds Some Heavy Rock Influence Similar To URIAH HEEP Or DEEP PURPLE Others Closer To ATOMIC ROOSTER Like “Atlantis" Plus Atmospheric Touches Like In The Incredible “Woodsman” That Also Blends Some Jazzy Leanings Strange But This Last Track Reminds Me A Bit Of The KING CRIMSON's Masterpiece In The Court Of The Crimson King” The Lush Keyboard Arrangements Including Piano Organ And Mellotron And The Varied Mixture Of Sounds And Styles Are Perfect For The Taste Of The Most Demanding Progressive Rock Fans This Eclectic Album With A Clear Classical Orientation As Their Name Clearly Isuggest Is Considered One Of The Earliest Examples Of USA Progressive Rock And Deserves To Be Listened By Progheads. Couldn’t Find What Happened With The Two Members Of ATLANTIS PHILARMONIC When They Disbanded But At Least Since The 90's We Can Get Their Lonely Release In CD Format. Some Places Consider Them Symphonic Others Psyche Or Even Jazz Oriented But The Important Thing Is That They Recorded An Excellent Album That Must Be In Every Prog Rock Collection An Excellent Addition For Almost Any Sub-Genre But Much Closer To Symphonic. read less
