1. After the breakup of NEW TROLLS in 1972 the members split into two bands, the hard-rocking "IBIS" and the progressive rock-oriented NEW TROLLS ATOMIC SYSTEM.
   
   New Trolls keyboardist Vittorio De Scalzi formed "N.T. ATOMIC SYSTEM" ...The ensuing album is in the same style as the best in VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR or KING CRIMSON, with sharp winds mixed with free Hammond organ parts. A majority  of prog collectors regard N.T. ATOMIC SYSTEM as one of the greatest Italian prog rock artifacts
2. Fans of Italian Progressive Rock also immediately feel at home when they hear the intro to the 6:43 "New Sermon Of Father O'Brien" with glorious keyboards reminiscent of early BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO; great spinet, Hammond and Mellotron, whirling breathy flute plus a splash of female backing vocals inter-spaced with De Scalzi's singing makes for an outstanding track and is the album's "manifesto".  
3. The 7:30 " Then I Saw" starts with Mellotron and Hammond before bringing in synthesizer, switching back and forth between heavy and the mellow, reminiscent of CELESTE. The overall effect is quite psychedelic.
   
   The first half and the end of " Return To Believe" sound like a sort of melodic mainstream Italian rock combining very pleasant music. From about the halfway point the track turns into pure progressive movements with complex rhythms, again with some excellent keyboards (reminiscent of EGG).
   
   '' Hibernation" in 5:43 minutes, again has prominent spinet, keys and synthesizer and will be of interest to fans of keyboard led progressive rock. The song has a very jazzy feel. Halfway through the track there's some good fluttering flute and the music takes on a very medieval feel amid nice running bass lines; a great track.
   
   When "The Herbs Dressed The Earth" starts off with an ecclesiastical-sounding Hammond organ but turns into taking on an atmospheric grand style -- halfway through takes on  a complex progressive format complete with Crimson/VdGG reeds; nice.
   
   'Butterfly' is a sixties styled track with good breathy flute and good keyboard improve ala the track a little ,though not in the same league yet very worthy as a inclusion on the album   
4. The overriding impression when listening to this album is of the consummate musicianship. The Hammond organ and other keyboard work is superb, but then the other band members all contribute evenly. Even the drums are noticeably strong. We like the mix of the rough with the smooth with strong complex progressive movements in all tracks including a nice early 1970's feel to the music
