-
Atlantis'
is
a
smouldering
jazz-funk,
cinematic
excursion
courtesy
of
the
Brazilian
maestro,
Daniel
Salinas.
A
conductor,
pianist,
arranger,
and
producer,
he
has
worked
across
several
genres
within
Brazil’s
rich
musical
tapestry,
including
the
Beatles-inspired
Jovem
Guarda
movement,
jazz-funk,
and
MPB
to

Released
in
1973
on
Top
Tape
Records,
'Atlantis’,

one
of
Salinas’
best-known
recordings
(at
least
in
Europe),
his
much-loved
interpretation
of
'Also
Sprach
Zarathustra’
entitled
'Straussmania’.
It
was
inspired
by
Eumir
Deodato's
global
hit
of
the
same
year
and
went
on
to
be
adopted
by
various
scenes
becoming
a
classic
within
rare
groove
circles
as
well
as
amongst
breaks
and
beats
diggers.
Other
highlights
include
the
only
original
Salinas
composed
track
on
the
album;
the
driving,
orchestrated
Brazilian
groover,
'Baião',
and
an
epic,
head
nod
breakbeat
interpretation
of
Donovan's
folky
'Atlantis'.
'Atlantis'
was
also
issued
by
the
American
record
label
Cadet
in
1974
with
alternative
yellow
sleeve
artwork;
this
re-issue
is
a
replica
of
the
original
Brazilian
Top
Tape
version
from
1973.
