New Atlantic
were an early 1990s UK rave band from Southport, Merseyside. They were made up of Richard Lloyd and Cameron Saunders, and best known for their UK number 12 dance hit "I Know" in March 1992. [1] The CD single of "I Know" contained an alternate mix which was performed by the group onstage on the UK television programme, The Hitman And Her
. New Atlantic were signed to Liverpool's 3-Beat Records, which in turn signed the track to Pete Waterman's PWL Records, leading to chart success.
Their appearance on Top of the Pops
achieved a certain degree of notoriety, with the worst vocal performance in the show's history leading the The Sun
newspaper having a competition "to find New Atlantic a singer". Despite this, "I Know" remains a rave anthem, which appears on the vast majority of compilation albums celebrating the era.
New Atlantic also produced Berri's Top 5 UK hit, a dance cover of Elkie Brooks', "Sunshine after the Rain"; and released a number of other records and an album before fading into obscurity.
Saunders is now part of the DJ production duo, The Young Punx.
