This Stockholm group began calling themselves The Quints and appeared already in the collection Zingotoppen but never released an album. Changed its name to Atlantic Ocean when in the summer of 1967, American Greg FitzPatrick joined this group. This was not allowed to work so I had to use an alias, Göran Ahlin. Its members were Staffan Stenström (vocals, bass, guitar), Janne Bandel (drums), Björn J: son Lindh (flute, saxophone, violin, keyboards), Johnny Mowinckel (keyboards) and the aforementioned FitzPatrick (bass, guitar, keyboards .) They quickly became a place in the Swedish music scene for its music and its mise en scene (details like your battery playing with fire sticks are still remembered by the lucky ones who were lucky enough to see them play live). Lindh and Norwegian Mowinckel joined the group in 1969, just before the release of their only album on the Philips studio in Stockholm. Side A of Tranquility Bay is a compendium of diverse musical styles while B is a twenty-minute piece called Weather perhaps more ambitious musically. The album was rejected by CBS and was not published until 1970 by the Finnish label Love. In the fall of 1969 they recorded four songs for the movie In Kärlekshistoria director Roy Andersson. The music was written by Björn Isfält, Xtra, while the letters are the very Andersson. 1970 marked the breakup of the group taking their members very different ways: FitzPatrick began a tour of Asia, Lindh and Bandel formed Jason's Fleece and Bergman and the rest joined Lee Kings, playing live several times until the festival Gärdet played as the Atlantic Ocean before becoming Fläsket Brinner.
