With their third release, Hollow, Little Atlas mines some significantly different ground than their 1st two albums, Surface Serene and Wanderlust, which were playful & hopeful & had a bit of both a Steely Dan & Neal-era Beard feel musically. This time out the band has embraced their inner Darth Vader & come over to the “dark side” for at least a visit. This is a concept album about the dark side of several human conditions, or perhaps even THE HUMAN CONDITION.

Recorded in April 1972, "A Story Ended" was the debut solo album by Colosseum saxophonist Dick Heckstall-Smith. Recorded upon the demise of Colosseum, the sessions featured contributions by Jon Hiseman, Mark Clarke, Chris Farlowe & Dave Greenslade of the band, along with Graham Bond (of whose Organization Dick was a member alongside Jack Bruce & Ginger Baker), Chris Spedding and lyrical offerings from Pete Brown. A superb example of Jazz influenced Progressive rock, the album appeared on Bronze Records in 1972 and is now hailed as a classic of the genre.
