Atom Lux is Italian multi instrumentalist Lucio Filzola and Atom Lux seem to have been lobbed into the Psych brigade. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of that here, but there is a lot that isn't. Voidgaze Dopamine Salad is beautifully arranged and performed with journeys into all sorts of direct.
For instance, Spaghettification Apocalypse is essentially wonderful Psych Pop, but morphs into both Classic Rock and UK Glam Rock. Stoned Monkey Heritage could easily be passed off as Brit Pop and as you may guess, the variety here is spectacular.
I know that you know that I am a Psych Pop and Prog fan, but there is miles more here. It is incredibly that this is the work of one man. Pointless Madness is Pop Rock gold, catchy as catchy can be. There is heavier Psych here on the likes of Bad Snake Good Snake, but that again is wonderfully done.
There is also great riff action present throughout, special mention to Black Mirror. Dance Plague Delirium is another song that takes you along beautifully. Psych driven, nut completely engaging catchy, even bordering Classic Rock. Pointless Madness is a great Pop Rock song.
Toxic Easter Bunny closes the album with a big Classic Rock sound. The whole album is a fine listen. The song titles may be a little pompous, but what is inside is not. Some splendid melodic guitar parts as do plenty of the grooves. A great listen!
You can listen to and buy the album here. It is available on Vinyl and as a download.
