Atmo were actually a side-project of Edith's singer Mario Gulisano. He recorded the first self-titled album of the project in 1990 and released in cassette format for Edith Music with him playing guitars and singing and with the help of keyboardist Salvo Condorelli. In early-90's, when Edith were discovered by Mellow Records, Mauro Moroni decided to produce and re-release in 1992 Atmo's debut in CD format with some additional material. Anyone expecting ''Atmo'' to fall into the melodic Neo Prog category of Edith, misleaded by the Mellow Records' envolvement, will be rather dissapointed, as Atmo's music is closer to the New Age and Ambient fields with peaceful pieces, composed for background listenings. Calm, atmospheric soundscapes with melancholic piano, light synths, plenty of acoustic guitars and percussions and sometimes Gulisano's relaxed vocals result a work, where New Age meets Ethnic Music. A few pieces only include some electric guitars akin to Edith's approach, featuring smooth, spacey solos, but these are also blended with the aesthetics of New Age/Lounge Music. At times some sampled flute and string parts appear, but even this way the music remains flat, hypnotic and dreamy without any surprises. Good for what it is but far from interesting and energetic music. Recommended only to those in search for peaceful and romantic background music. Review by "apps79" (Rate Your Music).
