All this boded well for Pallas, but EMI's initial interest in the band waned, as did Offord's enthusiasm for producing the album properly. In order to increase the commercial potential of the group's major label debut the running order was changed, adding more commercial songs and removing much of the "Atlantis Suite" material. As a result of all these factors, when "The Sentinel" was released in 1984 it was regarded as a compromised affair by all involved (despite sporting what was regarded as one of the genre's most beautiful covers ever, illustrated by Patrick Woodroffe). The excised "Atlantis Suite" tracks were issued as B-sides on singles at the time of the album's release, and in 2004 a remastered version of the album was released with the "Atlantis Suite" finally intact and as the band intended it.
