About

Released in March 1973, Atem was nominated Album of the Year by pioneering BBC Radio DJ John Peel. This album was a keystone which cleared the way into the UK market in mid-73. “Atem refines the ideas on Zeit into something slightly more accessible. On the lengthy title-track Franke whips up a storm on the tom-toms until the piece climaxes mid-way and dissolves into a series of eerie improvisations on mellotron, VCS-3 synth and Froese's "gliss" electric guitar. The low key mood continues through the remainder of the album until the closing "Wahn", a startling experiment with voices, echo machines and percussion.” – Ambient Music Guide
