 ATONE [ATONEMENT CD] was  included in the Ministry of Sound magazine 101 crucial albums of the past 20 years
  Reviews:
 ATONEMENT CD--------- deep electronic dub straight out of Sydney. Atonement is there debut release, and it will slide into your brain with ease. taking their cues from the thunder of dub, the infinity of ambience and trance, and the aural anarchy of sample culture, Atone at its core, is primal swampy funk. At one end," flyaway Afro"and "fuckwar" dabble with industrial noises amongst the jelly-beats; at the other,"hellhole" and "dublife" drift in echoes toward total sedation. Best is "never be free", where hip-hop is updated once again into brilliant and brutal Chemical New-beats..........4 STARS ****... CHRIS JOHNSTON.....ROLLINGSTONE.........

CRUCIFIED, STITCHED UP & THEN SOME CD.-------------- atone's remarkable debut album atonement sounds remarkably light and fluffy when compared to this follow up. two years full of live performances and solo work mark the period between "atonement' and "crucified" but atone have distilled the break perfectly. "crucified" exhibits a darker side to atone, full of slowed hip hop beats, monstrous dub bass lines, spooky cinematic loops, snippets of vocals, well selected samples, and masked analogue burbles. looped guitar lightens up the appropriately named "60s", subterranean bass drops merge into deep dgidub on "end the occupation" . All up 12 excellent tracks of the deepest darkest digidub and and outstanding follow-up to one of best albums of the last few yesrs........5 STARS *****..........YELLOW PERIL..........3D WORLD.

 ATONE3 CD------------ atone has made an album that is ahead of its time. listen to this in 10 years and I'll happily apologize if wrong. With the most progressive ( not as in progressive to trance) dub sounds around atone outdone themselves on this, their third release. The quiet but noisy introductions make way for aggressive percussive sounds which contrast to the relaxed dub beat they make. Vocals, including rhymes courtesy of Kye , add to a style and sound that it's hard to imagine melding with lyrics. Stand out tracks: all the tracks. Buy, it's good...........CLARK NOVA.........CAT..

BRUTALISM: CD---Brutalism is by far one of the most interesting albums to come from local producer this year to date. Spanning from minimal House and Techno to RnB, from dub to deep textual beats that do not want for classification. The album represents something fresh from one of Sydney's premier underground producers atone, casting off the shackles of the bleep and squeak glitch genre that has ridden a lot of fresh ideas into the ground in a narrow minded scene. Sure there are some bleeps and squeaks and lots of glitches, but it's intuitive and inspiring. The album opens with a great break and then it delves into some specious soul inspired RnB vocals on the quiet minimal beats of "sometimes". Probably the only common thread that links the tracks of brutalism together is their spacious airy nature that has you floating through a diverse selection of quality tunes. it's a turn in production technique for local producers........... Benjamin Chinnock........ THE BRAG............

LIVE AND LOVE YOUR LIFE. CD
The legacy of Ali Omar lives on in this long awaited new album. Live And Love Your Life pays homage to a Sydney producer who just did what came natural to him, creating diverse, refreshing, soul empowering music, shifting from style and genre with ease, injecting everything from lavish moments of dub, post rave club soul, deep vocal house, abstract drum’n’bass experiments, and downtempo world music collage.
 
The varying vocal incarnations of Ali Omar, from toasting, and soulful reggae influences, to the gruff ranting and mumbling he became renowned for, I wonder if Spaceape has ever heard Ali Omar’s style, are interspersed with vocals from Gina Mitchell, Jes, Andy Fitzgerald, to name a few. I’ve always thought Atone could have more exposure, Omar and Andy Fitzgerald creating crafted, modern dub experiments as good as Massive Attack, with a similar genre hopping vibe, intensity, but soul enhancing energy.
 
Highlights are always the ones that touch on a dub aesthetic, “Live And Love Your Life” cruises through a 6a.m. fog, evoking the spirit of Vangelis. “Reason Why” shows a newer direction, post rave stabs ride a funky dubstep rhythm, with the soulful vocals of Gina Mitchell. “Look At The Stars” hits the dubstep mark again, pounding rhythms, skittering percussion and rapid fire bass. “Let The Light Come In” brings the reggae, but piles on the breaks to take the track somewhere completely different. “Caffeine” revisits the rapid fire bass, layers hip hop beats and dubbed out synth lines. 

For all those who lived through the heyday of Sydney party culture, and the rise of the festival, would fondly remember the vibe Ali Omar and Atone evoked, those sweaty clubs where he knew how to work the crowd, dark fields exposing the sonic possibilities of dance culture, and the 6 a.m. chill out sessions where his work played on many a soundtrack. A talented artist will always be missed, but his music lives on, and his spirit can still do its work through his music.

" His quietly entrancing Yes Way EP is characterised by hypnotic, subtly shifting electronic drones, as well as the haunting music-box melodies of ‘You Killed Me’." - Drowned In Sound

"Weird, wonderful and space-age electronica from the wilds of Donegal to send shivers down your spine". - The Irish Times

"Slow blossoming evocative bliss trips" - Upset The Rhythm

"... General Dublin grand vizier of musical disorientation" - Totally Dublin

"Listening to the dark and atmospheric “LoveLoses Hold” feels like being lost in a labyrthine dream world created by a bipolar Aphex Twin. A sense of the uncanny emanates from its orchestration, forming a perceivable tension in each harmony. The technique is subtle in its execution and yet pervasive in its effect.- Cluas

"School Tour makes stratospheric drone and pulse music, layering clouds of sepulchral reverb over trance-inducing Ominchord oscillations, decaying super-8 memories and loops of ghosts and whispering chainsaws. He is also a member of Children Under Hoof and Patrick Kelleher’s live band." - Astonishing Sod-Ape

"Truth is that 'Cat Pur', the aforementioned stand-alone tune, is deceptively simple and staggeringly great. Echoing the murky sounds of similarly doom-laden fellow countrymen Legion Of Two and spooky electronicist Hunter-Gatherer, the song is, until a terrifying breakdown at the end, just one big, evil loop slowly building over the course of five minutes." - Ragged Words
