ATLANTIDE 2025 Japanese Edition – Worldwide Edition

Atlantide 2025 is created by the only surviving member of THE TRIP’s historic trio. Furio Chirico’s THE TRIP revisits the present-day state of the mythic continent of Atlantis, fifty years after the band’s monolithic album. While embracing newly shaped musical and philosophical ideas—echoing a sense of recurring déjà vu—the album preserves the original song structures, enriching them with expanded guitar parts, personalized interpretations, and newly crafted arrangements for greater energy and impact. Atlantide 2025 is not a sequel or a repetition of the original Atlantide (1972). Rather, it is a modern reinterpretation (2025) of the historic project celebrated in the original album—hence the title Atlantide 2025.

The album opens with an original track, “Ouverture 2025”, written as a tribute to Joe Vescovi. The Japanese edition also includes special bonus tracks, including the original “Prelude” (dedicated to “ATLANTIDE 2025”) and the legendary “Corale” (from 1973’s “TIME OF CHANGE”), a song never performed live by the trio at the time, presented as a bold and original interpretation and a unique arrangement performed by the lineup; Furio Chirico (drums), Paolo “Silver” Silvestri (Hammond, piano, keyboards), Giuseppe “Gius” Lanari (vocals, bass), Marco Rostagno (guitars).

This album includes a mini documentary film, on DVD in the Japanese edition – the Access QR code and password to access the multimedia video content in the worldwide edition. The video contains approximately 17 minutes of previously unseen footage (with Japanese subtitles for the Japanese edition and English subtitles for the rest of the world edition) of the historic trio during the making of ATLANTIDE in 1972, with rare footage from the era (including recording scenes at the legendary Villa Rosso, real-life scenes, and interviews).
