2015 release. Since their inception in 2000, the Scandinavian ensemble Atomic has garnered widespread acclaim for creating a completely unique and identifiable sound that seamlessly merges the American and European free jazz traditions. They are equally indebted to the music of Archie Shepp and Derek Bailey, and use these traditions as sources of inspiration -- not restrictions on their creativity. No strangers to the touring circuit, Atomic were on the road almost as soon as they formed, and since 2000 they have extensively toured throughout Europe, Japan, and the US. Lucidity follows the 2010 two-volume Theater Tilters release (commemorating the band's ten-year anniversary) and 2013's There's a Hole in the Mountain. Håvard Wiik, piano; Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, bass; Fredrik Ljungkvist, trumpet; Magnus Broo, trumpet; Hans Hulbækmo, drums.
