H

This is the earliest effort by Italian progrock trio Aton's, the album H is from 1985. The emphasis is on the atmosphere, rather than excursions on guitar and keyboards. In general the 17 compositions sound fluent and harmonic with many cheercul climates featuring beautiful acoustic guitar, twanging electric guitars with slight distortion and a bit functional keyboards, Remarkable are the warm and inspired vocals and some fiery electric guitar soli. The music by Aton's on this fine album reminds me of fellow Italian Angelo Branduardi, mainly because of the obvious folky elements. If you feel a little bit depressed, stressed or unhappy, this album will help you to battle these feelings, 'in dulci jubilo' would Mike Oldfield say!
