4 stars ATON FIVE is a young Russian group, formed in 2013, making the psyche-atmo-retro-heavy-stoner-prog in that their compositions literally immersed in the sounds of the 70s. But one can also find the latest sounds of the 80s! In fact, think about it, the own universe to DEEP PURPLE, RAINBOW, IRON MAIDEN, CAMEL, PINK FLOYD, HIDRIA Spacefolk (especially on "Astronautica") and TANGERINE DREAM! Suffice to say that we have a wide range of influences. This album is the first real group after an EP and a live. Their compositions take the number 7 on the listener musical atmospheres worthy of a science fiction film, often with slow and long climbs reminding the wanderings of the great dinosaur groups, programmed and wanderings giving pride of place to a specific instrument at this very moment. From "The Dreadnought" tinged stoner psyche ATON FIVE its claws and hand on a variation of that DEEP PURPLE and RAINBOW could give to note here a guitar up and very effective synth. On "Journey" the atmosphere is calmer, almost jazzy moment and by a break in the middle of the title introduces the organ for an intimate ballad with limited voice. "Time" is built on a heavy bass and a haunting air. "A Chain Of Events" made me think of the heavy burden of a title BLACK SABBATH with a frenetic pace that only FOCUS could emerge. As for "Milky Way Incident" I felt dive into an association DEEP PURPLE again but this time with incursions from IRON MAIDEN "running free" and TANGERINE DREAM simply! A voice at the F. GORDON early title plunges further into doubt and expectant ears. "Death? "Or musical interlude straight out of Star showcases under the longest" The Endless Desert "a true compendium of influences; Here we enter the world of PINK FLOYD again all sprinkled yet TANGERINE DREAM slicks. This piece reminded me of 'Astronomy dominates " Finally on this album, do not think you just copy and paste the various groups mentioned above! Here, it is influential in question and think put some of the aura of each of these groups must make you aware that the prog fusion is a real bargain today: indeed, could have been think in the 70s and 80s prog together, the heavy and electronics? You will understand, a real slap!
