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.

gollark: No.
gollark: Also, I'm not old enough.
gollark: Our electoral system is awful (first past the post) so this would not do much.
gollark: To this day, the government continues to do the thing.
gollark: I once had an issue with the government here doing a thing, so I contacted my local politician to complain about them doing the thing, by email. About a week later, I got back, *by letter*, a response from some other politician which was tangentially related to the thing but did not address any of my concerns.
