Reissued on CD by Si-Wan, SRMC4050
A symphonic rock group from Rovaniemi formed in 1974. Their main influences were Yes, Pink Floyd, Procol Harum and Wigwam. "Atlantis" (1976) contained only four tracks, fronted by Ortamo's organ and vocals. Their music wasn't very original but had strong melodic elements, sharing the melancholic beauty with the songs of Jukka Gustavson. All lyrics were in Finnish.
