Green Atlas
View this Thread in Original format

Wow...I was listening to XFM and a song came on by Green Atlas. It was called Circulation.
I checked DISCOGS and its a song from this year (I think January).

The funny thing is, it may be a first release under "GREEN ATLAS", but they are none other than Agnelli & Nelson!!

Thought that was cool... hope to hear more from Green Atlas (or Agnelli & Nelson, always liked their stuff).:D

Hmm, funny. Somehow Green Atlas sounds familiar, more familiar than a name that made just one track so far...

By the way, why would they produce tracks under a diff alias if its exactly the same ppl producing it? Or are there other people involved as well?

There are many reasons why producers use different aliases. Sometimes they use an alias if the track is a different feel from what they produced using another name. Some of this has to do with different sounds or equipment they use to produce a certain track. For example, if you listen to System F tracks, they have a pretty similar feel. Compare them to tracks that Ferry produced under his own name and they sound a little different.

Also, a producer might use an alias for anonymity. I can't think of any examples off the top of my head.

And on topic, Agnelli and Nelson have some quality tracks under the alias Afterburn as well.

Afterburn...cool...I'll check into that too!

I haven't heard the B-side that is on "Circulation" but I was curious if anyone has...

Any good?

Aphex Twin is one of the best case examples of this. In his case, I believe he at first started producing under other names because his label owned the name: "Aphex Twin", but later used it a source of anonymity

Their great at producing but horrible at remixing. How ironic.

More often than not is becuase that particular alias is a copyright of a label they are on, so the only viable option is to create another.
