Atomic: Retrograde
by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.
Every time I have the opportunity to attend a performance by Atomic, I find myself asking, how does a band this dynamic and creative miss the radar on so many different media and industry levels?

Atomic: Retrograde
by John Kelman
Plenty has been written about the intersection--past and present--between members of the Swedish/Norwegian collective Atomic, and Chicago's Ken Vandermark's countless projects. Most telling, perhaps, is this simple fact: were Atomic American-based, there's little doubt it would garner similar accolades from a considerably larger audience unafraid of the kind of fearless experimentation that's been the quintet's signature ...

by Eyal Hareuveni
The Swedish-Norwegian quintet Atomic was founded five years ago as an antithesis to the “frosty tundra bite of ECM lyricism," as Atomic's label, Jazzland, describes Atomic's raison d'etre.
