Bio:

AOR/Melodic/Classic Rock band from United Kingdom.Formed in 1991 as P.A.F. by Simon Harrison and Jules Benjamin.Atlantic is the brainchild of guitarist and songwriter Simon Harrison. Following a successful ghost writing career and his bands Stranger and Wisht, Simon wanted to make an album in his favoured AOR/melodic rock genre. Heavily influenced by bands like Whitesnake, Journey, Bad English, FM and Dare he set about writing the songs that became the first album entitled "Power".Atlantic was never supposed to be a long term band and following its worldwide release Simon moved on to other writing, recording, production and mix projects. In the late nineties Simon met Mark Grimmett. He recorded several songs with Mark over the following few years and they decided at some point they would make a record together. Fast forward to 2021 Mark was talking to Simon about writing and recording a new album.Originally entitled the MGB Band, work started in the fall of 2021... By early 2022 they had written a number of songs and they both felt they would best suit a new album under the Atlantic banner. Several members of Grim Reaper were recruited to give the album an edge, whilstretaining the essential melodic rock/AOR feel that is Atlantic. Mark Pullin, Julian D. Hill and Ian Nash were duly recruited into the band along with keyboardist Gareth David Noon from Serpentine.The lineup was to change later in the project with Simon and Tim Bristow taking over the keyboard role and the addition of Nick Burr and Andy Margrett on lead guitar. Work continued over the next year and finally the production was completed in late 2023. Mark Pullin stepped up to mix the album after some unforeseen issues at Simon's studio and it was completed in March 2024. Escape Music had re-released the original "Power" album and were absolutely the first choice to work with on the new album.Their new album "Another World" will be released exclusively by Escape Music, exciting times.

Album:

2026 Escape Music is reissuing ATLANTIC 1994’s classic album “Power” now available both on CD and for the very first time on vinyl, and we’re featuring it exclusively here.Originally released in 1994, this AOR / Melodic Rock gem has been newly remastered by Simon Harrison and comes with a bonus track and refreshed artwork. Both vinyl & CD versions are true collector’s item available in a limited run, giving fans multiple ways to rediscover this timeless classic!We are not sure about the new artwork… AI is something we must endure in this era. But the music… dude, this is not artificial for sure!ATLANTIC’s “Power” is one of the greatest Melodic Rock / AOR albums ever made. Originally released 1994 in Europe & Japan, “Power” resulted a holy grail for fans of the genre especially in America as grunge already dominated the charts pushed by the greedy industry.ATLANTIC was less a traditional band and more a studio project, brought to life by a group of talented UK musicians aiming to capture the spirit of the first Phenomena Project. They devoted time and care to writing, arranging, and producing the material themselves, resulting in a collection of songs with an impressively polished, bright, and powerful sound.They needed a top-class, smooth vocalist to bring these classy AOR songs to life… enter the renowned Philip Bates, an English musician with a rich history in bands such as Trickster, Quill, and later ELO Part II.Recorded in 1992, what these six musicians created in the studio is pure MAGIC—muscular AOR magic. Adding to the brilliance, guest harmony vocalists Tony Mills and David A. Saylor (both sadly no longer with us) contributed their voices.This remastered reissue of “Power” includes a killer bonus track, an outtake (!) from the original sessions. The (!) means… sacrilege! How could this song have been left off in the first place? Every track on this album shines; it’s all pure AOR gold.
