"Definitely the contender for best ambient album of the year."
- Bobby, Enuui.org (Apr 08, 2010)


"Quite a Journey"
- John Shanahan, Hypnagogue Reviews (Feb 22, 2010)


"Portal is a work of art for the ears that should be treasured and a must for your music library." 


"Lush soundscapes of beats, rhythms and voices that are woven together in such a way as to envelop the listener allowing them to leave behind their day to day existence for awhile and enter completely into this world."
- Michael Foster, Ambient Visions (Mar 14, 2010)


"Mind Expanding"
- Forest, Musical Starstreams and radioioAMBIENT.com (Apr 18, 2010)


"Brodsky's "Portal" LP has fingertip care, with a liberal sprinkling of indeterminate entry and exit gates, typified by sounds of people, birds, flowing water, thunder, with glistening textures and beats that recall Eraldo Bernocchi's collaborations with Harold Budd. "
- Muttley, SubVersion (Feb 28, 2010)


"Wow. WOW. Amazing work, Rich. You are an inspiration. Thanks for Portal! I love it." 
- Rob Cosh, Twitter (Mar 02, 2010)

"An Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole journey."
- Forest, Musical Starstreams and radioioAMBIENT.com (Apr 18, 2010)



"Haven't heard anything like this for years. Absolutely amazing!! a complete trip. Can't wait to get it in my hands. Nice one mate"
- Paul Carter, Twitter (Mar 02, 2010)



"Guitar driven electronic atmospheres that are inspired by the Grateful Dead as much as The Orb."
- John Diliberto - Billboard Magazine/Echoes Radio Producer/Host, Echoes Radio Blog (May 27, 2010)

  • Bio

    San Francisco Bay Area based electronic musician, Rich Brodsky aka Atomic Skunk, weaves together ambient field recordings, lush pads, and organic acoustic instruments with high-tech arpeggiated synths, glitchy, chaotic rhythms, and haunting melodies to create a unique psychedelic ambient soundscape. Although he played in traditional western rock bands for many years, Rich has always leaned towards the deconstruction of traditional forms. He has studied non-western music such as Indonesian Gamelan, Indian Ragas, and African drumming and counts these along with ambient artists, The Orb and The Future Sound of London as well as the legendary Hearts of Space radio show as some of his strongest influences. In 2008, Rich began composing and recording his own ambient electronic music, using an amazing piece of software called Ableton Live. Live's non-linear approach to music composition opened up a world of creative possibilities that led to the first Atomic Skunk creations. In early 2009, Rich released his first eight compositions as Atomic Skunk for his debut album, Binary Scenes. In early 2010, Rich released the follow-up to Binary Scenes, a flowing, cinematic, gapless album entitled Portal. Portal features seven fresh, original tracks as well as a uniquely beautiful cover version of The Grateful Dead classic, "China Doll." After selling out within weeks of its release, a second run of Portal Digipak CDs featuring all original artwork by Polish artist Michal Karcz will be available later this Fall. Check the Atomic Skunk website for details soon!
