These recordings were originally released on the El-Saturn label in 1969
Track 2 is noted as "Lenuria" on the printed label.
Recorded in performance at the Sun Arts Club, Chicago, 1960.
The album heavily features the "Solar Sound Instrument", a Hohner Clavinet. One of the four compositions which originally featured on Side 1 of the original release was substituted by a different piece for the 1973 reissue, though reusing the same name, "Yucatan".
The title track covered the second side of the LP and is regarded as a key prototype for Sun Ra's performances through the 1970s. It was recorded at a 1967 concert at the Olatunji Center of African Culture in New York and has been described as "a masterpiece that twists and turns through many soundscapes"
"The title track Atlantis is one of Ra's most epic pieces, which is free or 'space' jazz at its most invigorating. While virtually indescribable, the sonic churning's and juxtaposed images reveal a brilliant display of textures and tonalities set against an ocean of occasional rhythms. Its diversity alone makes this is an essential entry in the voluminous Sun Ra catalog.—Lindsay Planer”
Notes from inside cover:
"THE DEAD PAST: The civilizations of the past have been used as the foundation of the civilization of today.
Because of this, the world keeps looking
toward the past for guidance. Too many people are following the past. In this new space age, this is dangerous.
The past is DEAD and those who are
following the past are doomed to die and be like the past. It is no accident that those who die are said to have
passed since those who have PASSED have PAST".
- Produced by Alton Abraham
