REVIEW :: 17 AUGUST 2 0 1 9 :: Aton Five / Solarstalgia (2019, R107 CD/DD)
is reviewed at "Sea Of Tranquility" (USA). "Images of classic Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, Yes, and Gentle Giant pop up throughout Solarstalgia's seven tracks, the music chock full of vintage keyboard sounds, muscular guitar & bass work, and tricky drum fills... With the digipack CD edition, there are two live bonus tracks, the hard rocking "Journey", another cool Deep Purple inspired number with some stellar organ & guitar freakouts, and the darker prog of "Woods Made of Stone". Both are excellent additions to what is a really strong album from a band that deserve your immediate attention." - wrote Pete Pardo. Read the full review (in English).
REVIEW :: 15 AUGUST 2 0 1 9 :: Aton Five / Solarstalgia (2019, R107 CD/DD)
is reviewed at "Expose" (USA). "The thing about Aton Five is that their brand of instrumental rock has more going for it than just rehashes and recombinations of things that Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, and Ozric Tentacles have done. While there are bits reminiscent of all of those, there's more going on here than just that. They bring in some proggy tendencies more akin to things that used to be common in the 70s before extended instrumental sections went out of fashion. Think of classic Uriah Heep, where the middle section of a song might involve organ and guitar trading back and forth with licks. Aton Five is kind of like a band that just does those middle sections, making them into pieces of their own... I really enjoy Daniel Bosak's keyboard work, which takes on classic organ sounds as well as synthesizers. Maybe the sounds are emulated by modern digital instruments, but he uses a lot of sounds that resemble overdriven Hammond or Minimoog, and it works well. Alexander Seleznev's guitar work is rarely of the flashy variety, but always suits the tunes well, and his riffing locks in the grooves perfectly. The thing that sets Aton Five apart from run-of-the-mill space rock bands is their willingness to change up the music - rather than repeating a riff for many minutes, they'll have a progression that works through changes and then move on to different sections. So even if you're turned off by the tendency of space rock bands to ride a riff for long stretches, you might appreciate Solarstalgia. I like the direction they've taken, and look forward to more from this band." - wrote Jon Davis. Read the full review (in English).
REVIEW :: 15 MAY 2 0 1 9 :: Aton Five / Solarstalgia (2019, R107 CD/DD)
is reviewed at "DisAgreement" (Luxembourg). "These four young Russians love the music from a time before they were born, and their tribute to it is heart-warming and ear pleasing at the same time. Fans of instrumental hard rock with strong psychedelic and progressive touches should burn some incense and float away with Aton Five to Solarstalgia." - wrote Pascal Thiel.

REVIEW :: 06 FEBRUARY 2 0 1 9 :: Aton Five / Solarstalgia (2019, R107 CD/DD)
is reviewed at "Musikreviews" (Germany). "Solarstalgia is simply another compelling publication from the House of RAIG and settle in the usual for the record company area.
