Famous Plato's Dialogues came up with the idea of Atlantis first, but nowadays, Atlantis is a space shuttle. Atlantis is the nickname of Mexican wrestler. It's a name of Nazi's raider warship during World War II, as well as the name of at least four old video games. In music, Atlantis were both Polish disco-polo band and German rock group (both disgusting). Sun Ra recorded an album called 'Atlantis' Etc. etc...To hell with it. Right now, the only one who truly deserves to play under this name is talented Dutch musician Gilson C. Heitinga. Heavily influenced with industrial and progressive rock, he started his impressive work nearly four years ago. Initially, it was a movie-soundtrack project. When it turned out, that the movie won't be ever made, Gilson had most of his material finished, and released it as a concept album about feeling of loose. That is how 'Carpe Omnium' hit our ears.
I was not supposed to talk about full albums here, but Heitinga's first release is a pure stroke of genius. Consisting of eight instrumental tracks, it mesmerises and turns into heavyweight trip through unexplored terrain. Melancholic and depressive, those tunes are just perfectly composed with 'Constantinople' being only a little, good example of their greatness.
