Although ATOLS is usually referred to as one person, ATOLS him/herself has never addressed to his/herself as such, and so it's often questioned if ATOLS actually refers to a group instead of an individual producer. For the purpose of this spotlight, I'll address ATOLS as "him".
ATOLS started uploading his works in Nico Nico Douga sometime in 2010, although it's said that he has been releasing his original works way before, sometime in 2007. He also won a contest with one of his songs and has a couple of instrumental album releases. Anyway, no one actually knows for sure what ATOLS' real identity is or how his past compositions went, since most of the info are unconfirmed rumors :(.
ATOLS' work is hard to define, but it is mostly generalized as Mikutronica, with a fusion of electronic beats and rhythms vibrating against Miku's low, whispery, but incredibly dramatic voice. He uses a variety of styles, usually with your usual electrorock, downtempo/ambient, a dash of trance-like rhythms, and recently, a surprising shift to dubstep. His beats tend to be erratic with a subtle pattern that listening to his songs is like taking in a flux of messy but hypnotizing beats. He also likes abusing his woofer as well as echo effects, making his songs a real auditory treat, even to those who do not like electronic music that much.
Hatsune Miku (normal and Append) is his only Vocaloid, and she is tuned in two ways: one is low, drawly, and almost human like voice and another is a super high, whispery but overreaching voice. However, as his concentration is mostly in producing ear-gasmic melodies, his Miku tends to sing only a few lines of words before getting enveloped by crazy, wonderful beats.
ATOLS has not released a full album at the moment, although he had released a couple of songs under KarenT and has participated in that wonderful album "Lifework".

ATOLS has been on my list of favorite Ps ever since he came out with "Babel", which is a wonderful treat of electrorock...among other themes XD;. Ever since it's been a wonderful pleasure to listen to his works because, as someone who only got to like electronica after discovering VocaloidPs like him, I tend to be very choosy with Mikutronica works (only he and AVTechNO! are the hardcore electronica Ps I listen to regularly). He was also a great contribution to my liking of ambient/trance-like songs and recently, he even got me to like dubstep (and I swore dubstep is a plague to my ears). He is truly a man (group?) of great potential and I always wait for his next work, eager to listen to how he will amaze me this time. My favorites by him, by the way isall of the above Babel, Breath, and Omega normal and remix.
