Near Earth Orbit
A.t.o.m.
A.T.O.M. (Abandoned Territories of Mankind) is a very cohesive, yet complex and absolutely epic piece of dark art; very hypnotic, sometimes almost psychedelic but often so very accumulative that simply calls for repetitive listening. It might not be as coherent as the first album, not so dense and raw as the second and third chapter, but it's much more atmospheric and cinematic. It leads the listener through many emotional states of mind and offers more questions than answers to the whole story. Musically A.T.O.M. is a very strong album, it actually starts in the similar vein where MISSION E.D.E.N. left off, and so it offers one hell of heavy intensity, dense and turbulent sound that can't be really properly categorized, but it's also highly atmospheric, sometimes soothing, even emotional and absolutely cinematic.
