Atlantis (Earth and Fire album)

Atlantis is a 1973 concept album by Earth and Fire, a symphonic rock band from The Hague, Netherlands. The first half of the album (Side 1 of the original vinyl pressing) comprises a suite based on the story of the greedy and corrupt island of Atlantis, which is ultimately destroyed by the four elements: earthquakes represent Earth, volcanoes represent Fire, volcanic gases represent Air and finally the island is inundated by Water.
