Hi Mr. Lloyd,
If you have the time and/or inclination, I was wondering if you could share with us the meaning behind the name "Atlantic Popes."
Thank you!

It´s not that easy to explain, honestly.
We would like to preach the opposite of what THE pope is preaching. Freedom, Fun, ALL kinds of Love, Respect....and all the positive things in life YOU have in mind.
When Max and me met at the atlantic coast, we talked about that for hours and days...
Everybody is a pope!
What did you think when you heard the name for the first time?

Bernd,
I promise to give more detailed comments on the Atlantic Popes Cd. When I say that I don't like the voice, I take in consideration that the soundquality is poor due to the Internet. (It's just a taste I guess) At the moment it's difficult to find the time for it as I want to finish the second Delphia CD in March,and I'm working on 3 songs at the same time in the studio (One of them is a FY- cover). By the way Bernd, which song of the Atlantic Popes will be on the "shadow dancing 2" CD from ADD? Mine will be 'To love you'.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>,

Nice songs from the album:
World: about freedom I guess
Ice : Just beautiful poetry
Talktalk: Great atmosphere!
Skin: A typical AV- ballad
That's all: A masterpiece!

The other songs are a little bit old fashioned. (The "I've heard before but better syndrom")

In general the lyrics come from deep inside and are very poetical and dreamy, allmost religious, But I wouldn't compare it with the ideas of the pope.

Greetings,
Peter

P.S. I couldn't make it to the tribute party, but we've already met on the release party of Salvation (End '96): U won't remember it, but I do!

hmm..what did i think when i first heard the name "Atlantic Popes?" well, it seemed a very mysterious name. The Atlantic, the ocean, always symbolizing to me spirituality, connection with both earth and spirit. Popes, meaning mastery of the spiritual world. So I guess being the captain of your own soul and spiritual life. Not easy to put into words. An interesting thing to think about!

Dear Bernhard,
Who is Erdmann ?
I saw the name in the CD info.
Looks like that person was very active in the project.
Atlantic Greetings,
Adi.
