“Deze productie ligt heerlijk in het gehoor. 12 tracks met hemelse Atlantische muziek.” “Een geheel eigen stijl en een fantastische uitvoering. “ Natural, very smooth and easy-going, bright, melodic, aquatic atmospheres and rhythms. Sven Hansen: Korg Polysix, Yamaha SY 22, Yamaha CS01II, Yamaha CS6x, Korg SQD-1 sequencer, Roland TR 505, Yamaha RX17. This new album of Sven Hansen is described by the author as "1 hour 2 minutes of diving atmospheric Atlantic adventure music". A good description of the music it is, too. The first track "Traum Insel" initially consists of slightly phased synth pads, wave sounds and various other atmospheric textures. After the 3-minute mark a relaxed tinkling sequence appears. This sequence dominates the second part of the track. The flowing melodies make it an ideal stuff to sail to. The title track “ Atlantiz”comes next and introduces more synthetic-sounding sequences and slow drum machine rhythms. This is pure EM that at times reminded me of Software and other Berlin School acts. The sequencing on this one is excellent. I also like the way the sequences and rhythms interact with melodies and pads - very smooth, natural and easy-going. Without a doubt, this is the best cut on the entire album. "Coral Dive" would be a perfect track for accompanying films about diving and sea life. There is a certain "Underwater Sunlight"-era Tangerine Dream flair to it, but the influences are very subtle and absolutely not upfront. "Kelpforest" consists of insistent rolling chords, subtle whooshing effects and pad sounds. A simple, but effective track. "Deepdive" brings us back to the relaxed style of "Coral Dive" but this time it sounds much deeper and sort of distant. I must say that Sven does an excellent job of conjuring images of all things aquatic with his music. "MC Murdo Sound" is all deep, reverberating wave sounds and subtle crackling, while the last part is enhanced by liquid pad sounds. "Frogland" consists of nothing but the sounds of rain, frogs, repeating three-note phrases and some additional synth colouring. Again, simple but effective stuff. We then get "Sargasso" which is extremely relaxing but certainly rhythmic (mid-to-slow range rhythms). "Etheriopia" is similar in style. I must say that by this point the music becomes fairly New-Agey, even reminding on some Medwyn Goodall's stuff, so those who don't like New Age may find it a bit too much.
"Orbis Terra" is, once again, similar to the previous two tracks, but this time there's also a slight techno influence in the form of heavier drums. Overall, this track is more urgent and energetic than the previous two that were pure relaxers. "Caraibe" is basically in the style of "Etheriopia" which means relaxed rhythms, flowing pads and subtle melodies. "Atlantiz Reprise" doesn't sound like the title track at all, instead relying on bell-like sequences and slow (but heavier) rhythms, with lots of pads and melodies to keep it going. I think "Atlantiz" will appeal to fans of melodic, relaxing EM, although New Age fans who don't mind electronically created music may also want to check it out. There's no dark stuff here, just bright, melodic, aquatic atmospheres and rhythms. Artemi Pugachov 28 06 2006 Atlantiz Sounds GOOD, musically and technically quality. Jan |

The myth goes that Atlantis is a lost city which we can find unther water. |
|
|
A Dive in the deep blue ocean sea revealed some of the remains of buidings from a city.
|
We took a dive and found colloms covered by coral. It formed an ancient reef, and sea-creatures were living in it.

Hi Sven, Ik ben er stil van. Men, je hebt jezelf overtroffen. Een geheel eigen stijl en een fantastische uitvoering. Mijn complimenten. In mijn EM top 500 , zo maar met stip in de top 10 gekomen. Dat zegt wat. Dank je wel voor zoveel moois! De opbouw, het werken naar een climax, de keuze van klanken: perfect kloppend. Groet, Leendert |

Wauw! Als een van de eersten in Nederland ontvingen wij deze CD-Special First Edition, van Sven Hansen's nieuwe project Atlantiz, The Creation of a Myth. Met hand gemaakte booklet, een fraaie cover en natuurlijk de CD. Deze heeft er inmiddels aardig wat draai uurtjes op zitten. Deze productie ligt heerlijk in het gehoor. 12 tracks met hemelse Atlantische muziek. In de booklet een uitleg over de tot stand koming van de CD, verrijkt met afbeeldingen van "prehistorische" kaarten, wordt het verhaal van Atlantiz vertelt. Geinspireerd door deze verhalen, en door andere verhalen van de zee, kwam deze productie tot leven. De cd is verkrijgbaar via CDBABY, en meer informatie over Sven Hansen en zijn projecten vindt je op de website van Harmony Sound Design. Ronald Boortman |
