Atlantic was the brainchild of guitarist and songwriter Simon Harrison.

Following a successful ghost-writing career and his band Stranger, Simon wanted to make an album in his favoured AOR/Melodic Rock genre. Heavily influenced  by bands like Whitesnake, Journey, Bad English, FM, Heartland and Dare he set about writing the songs that became the first album entitled ‘Power’.

"Power" was first released as a CD back in 1994 on the Music For Nations label and subsequently re-released in 2008 on Escape Music (ESM176).

Atlantic raised many eyebrows with this release which can be ranked alongside bands such as "Dare" and "Shy" (Tony Mills also guests on the album!).

Atlantic band members include Simon Harrison on guitar and keyboards and the great Phil Bates (Trickster/Quill) on lead vocals, guitars and keyboards.

The album had so much potential at the time it is a shame that it did not receive the recognition it richly deserved.

The band came back with a killer brand new album in 2024 title “Another World” also on Escape Music ESM388

A true British Classic!

 Wow, where does the time go? 30 years ago today was a fantastic year for British AOR/Melodic Rock as it saw the release of the debut Ten album (followed 6 months later by ‘Name Of The Rose’). Not only did the album receive rave reviews world-wide but went on  to sell 60,000 copies in Japan alone; the Japanese certainly know and appreciate great Hard Rock music!

  What few people realise is that originally, the Ten project was simply a Gary Hughes solo project that was the follow up to Now & Then Records’ first ever release, Gary Hughes’ self-titled solo debut. The idea was to record two releases: an album of rockers  and an album of ballads.

  However, after bringing in ex-Dare musicians Vinny Burns (guitar), Greg Morgan (drums) and Nick ‘Shelley’ Shelton (bass) to complete the recordings, it soon became apparent that something magical was happening.

  So, after both albums were completed and after a meeting between all parties, it was decided to mix the recordings together and release TWO band albums, 6 months apart. Thus, Ten was born.

  Knowing this salient fact, it becomes slightly amusing reading all those opinions saying that Ten became harder on their 2nd release, ‘The Name of the Rose’.

  So on the 30th anniversary of that truly astounding debut, we can now announce its release on vinyl for the very first time.
