Originally released in November 1970 by Dawn Records (UK), LP - DNLS 3014Atlantic Bridge - еще один недолговечный, одноразовый проект, состоящий из четырех довольно талантливых музыкантов, впоследствии поигравших у многих знаменитых исполнителей. А на этом альбоме они видимо просто собрались хорошо провести время, отвести душу и исполнить хороший, качественный, не напрягающий лирический джаз-рок. Получилось довольно удачно и профессионально.
Альбом полностью инструментальный, состоящий из пяти киверов на произведения Джимми Уэбба, Джорджа Харрисона, Джона Леннона и, собственно, самого Майка Макнота.
Об альбоме:
Atlantic Bridge's sole, self-titled LP is respectable but somewhat middling early fusion, though as a 1970 release, it's more cutting-edge than it would have been had it come out a few years later, when their brand of fusion was pretty common. Jim Philip's sax playing is certainly the most striking and fiery aspect of their approach, owing a good deal to the free jazz of John Coltrane and the like. Daryl Runswick also creates some interesting passages with bowed bass. The covers of "MacArthur Park," "Something," and "Dear Prudence" stretch those songs into considerably different shapes, but the record's six pieces do meander sometimes. The 1999 reissue on Get Back adds two songs from their 1971 EP, I Cant Lie to You, one of which ("I Can't Lie to You" itself) is quite a departure from the rest of their work, as it features soul-rock vocals by several female singers.
