Second volume of "The Encyclopedia of Civilizations", a collection of split LP's where selected artists offer their own insight into fascinating ancient cultures.

In this volume music is inspired by Atlantis, a legendary civilization surrounded by mystery. The LP is presented in a special edition with an extense booklet that tries to shed some light on the myth of Atlantis and will help you to inmerse yourself in this fascinating civilization while you listen to the music. The sleeve is printed in the old way, letterpressed with metal movable type as Gutemberg used to do it, as all of the Abstrakce editions.

DSR lines is the project of the Belgian electronic artist [a=David Edren]. He's been releasing his music for almost two decades in labels such as Ultra Eczema, JJ Funhouse or Black Sweat. His Atlantis tracks is one of his best works (if not the best) so far, developing an exquisite use of modular synths. David presents a mature work, fruit of an intense experimentation with synths such as Buchla 200 or Serge Synthesizer Systems. His arpeggios and oscillations sound like the music that would be played in an Atlantis church worshiping an Ancient God (probably Poseidon or Minos) if this wise civilization had reached our days. Organic minimal electronics developing a very personal sound, an spiritual approach that could be a modern continuation of the investigations started by [a=JD Emmanuel], [a=Ariel Kalma] or [a=Michael Hoenig].

Bitchin bajas is the project by [a=Cooper Crain] (also on the band [a=Cave]), [a=Dan Quinlivan] and [a=Rob Frye]. They have released his material in labels such as Permanent records, Drag City, Hands in the Dark or Important records. They present us an astonishing 20-minute-track inspired in the diaspora of the Atlantis people after the great cataclysm that sank its island at the bottom of the ocean and plunged into darkness its splendor forever. Warm, instrumental, psychedelic and melodic music that drinks from the electronic minimalism of the 60s and 70s ([a=Terry Riley], [a=La Monte Young]...) blended with the space feeling of the kosmische maestros ([a=Klaus Schulze], [a=Harald Grosskopf], etc.). Deep electronics, hypnotic pulses and enigmatic melodies introducing acoustic instruments such as flutes or xylophones that will make you float in space while thinking about our Atlantis ancestors.
