ATLANTIS PHILHARMONIC - (private/Dharma Records; stereo; 1974). RARE. (**Click on the pictures above for more info**).  *This is a NM vinyl original private prog psych LP. **REVIEW from www.vintageprog.com: "The unique thing about this American outfit was that they were a duo sounding at least like a four-piece symphonic progressive rock band. Joe DiFazio were something of a multi-instrumentalist, playing Mellotron, organ, harpsichord, Moog, piano, guitar and bass as well as contributing with the lead vocals. Royce Gibson played all the drums and percussive stuff, and had a quite clever way of incorporating the timpani more into the music than what is usual. Their album sounded slightly dated for 1974, reminding more of something from '70-'71, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Their sound is juicy and powerful, almost heavy at occasions, but always kept symphonic and grandiose by DiFazio’s various keyboards. The heavier tracks on the album, like "Atlantis" and "Atlas" also tend to the more complex ones, although you shouldn’t expect Gentle Giant either. The more quiet ones benefit from strong melodies, just check out the slightly psychedelic "My Friend" and the beautiful "The Woodsman". The latter one is the highlight for me, featuring one of THOSE Mellotron-finales. The duo also displayed a talent for strong vocal-harmonies, and this is best heard on the very striking and powerful ending of "Atlas". Atlantis Philharmonic were a highly talented duo that never were heard from again, but their album remains a gem among the early American attempts at creating symphonic progressive rock influenced by British/European sources".  **Vinyl is NEAR MINT. *Cover has some edge wear, cut corner bottom right front. **USPS - Postage and handling options (We ship in new custom record mailers): *Domestic (USA): A) Media mail (slower) w/ 'Delivery Confirmation': $4.00.
