Funk/Rock

On the peak of band's career Atlantis released the double album 'Live', recorded at the 'Fabrik' in Inga's hometown Hamburg. The opening track is a kind of central thread for the music and the meaning: 'Friends' was played ever since when Inga and her friends met again. This live recording proves brilliantly Inga Rumpf's development from the City Preacher to the 'Rock'n'Roll Preacher'.
Inga once explained the reasons for the new band name in a letter: "Dear Mr. Thorwald Franke, I have been very interested in the myth of the sunken continent. That is why I called my band Atlantis. I really believe that Atlantis lay near the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean 'behind the columns of Hercules', as Plato wrote. The sea bottom is at risk of an earthquake, and it is possible that Atlantis sunk because of a disaster. All the best, Inga Rumpf." green-brain-krautrock.de
