Cat. No. 2771: THE ATLANTICS (AUSTRALIA) ~ STILL MAKING WAVES. ATLANTICS MUSIC A-022.
THE ATLANTICS WERE THE FIRST AUSTRALIAN ARTISTS TO WRITE AND RECORD THEIR OWN COMPOSITION THAT WENT ON TO BECOME A NUMBER ONE HIT ON THE AUSTRALIAN MUSIC CHARTS. IT ALSO ACHIEVED CONSIDERABLE INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS. THAT SONG, OF COURSE, WAS THE CLASSIC SURF INSTRUMENTAL, “BOMBORA” – RELEASED IN 1963. SIXTY YEARS LATER THE BAND IS STILL WRITING AND RECORDING THEIR OWN MATERIAL. “STILL MAKING WAVES” IS AN EXCITING COLLECTION OF ALL-NEW SONGS, RIFFS, CHORDS AND DRUMBEATS. ALL OF THE ATLANTICS MAGIC IS STILL THERE. HOWEVER, ONE SONG DEMANDS SPECIAL MENTION – THE LAST TRACK “STRANGER IN MYKONOS”. IT WAS RECORDED IN 2013 BUT NEVER RELEASED AND THE DRUMMER AT THAT TIME WAS, OF COURSE, PETER HOOD. IT WAS THE LAST SONG EVER RECORDED BY PETER WITH THE BAND. SADLY, PETER PASSED AWAY IN 2021. BUT WHAT BETTER WAY TO CLOSE OUT THE ALBUM THAN WITH THIS TRACK.
