EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Album Description
The saddest album of the year. Antimatter moves toward richer, more organic textures with ‘Planetary Confinement’. Forsaking the electronic elements found on ‘Saviour’ and ‘Lights Out’, natural string, piano and drum sounds form the foundation, with beautiful melancholy vocalizations provided by male and female vocalists. Recorded in two sessions, one in Ireland directed by Duncan Patterson (ex-Anathema), the other in England by Mick Moss. Features a contemplative, morose and quite liberal interpretation of Trouble’s "Mr. White". For fans of Portishead, Massive Attack, Pink Floyd and anyone that feels the weight on the world on their shoulders.

Half a band, half an album by M. Bidigare (Detroit)

This band is basically two independant artists who have songs and different approaches on the album. I have to say this album is worht buying solely for Mick Moss's songs. This guy is the only talent in this album, he should really consider going solo and putting out his own material. The rest of the songs are song by some female and written by Pattersen. The music is electrinica minimalist garbage. Not to mention the singer is just god-awful and sounds like she will surely kill herself at the end of the song, not to mention the poor songwiting. I could have played those songs with a keyboard and I can't play anything. Seeing the other reviews apperently other people like that also. So I give half the songs 5 stars and the other half 1 star.

This CD is so dark, so beautiful and rich. Haunting guitars mix with beautiful vocals. Turn the lights down, kick back and think.. deeply.. This disc is what i have been looking for. Just love the somberness and the beauty... The best tracks are 'Weight of the World', 'Portrait of the youg...', 'Relapse' and 'Legions'. But there isnt a bad moment here.. Songs are strictly written to create ambiance and emotion. Its not progressive in that sense, but it is a gorgeous disc. A must have. i love it.

Great album. by P. Walczak

This album is really great. It is very well put together. It has a wonderful gloomy atmoshpere and the acoustic guitar and piano work really great to emphasize that. The vocals are also very good- both by the male singer and female singer. It almost sounds like the soundtrack to a heart-wrenching movie. The band took sort of a new direction with this album- but their experimentation worked nicely to create a really good album. There's also more acoustic work in this album than in "Light's Out" and less ambience, but very good nonetheless. I would definitely suggest this album to anyone who wants something really nice to listen to.

I really don't care what your thoughts are on the album. I personally think it is one of the most metal albums of all time. Dark, cold, and emotional. What more can you expect???? I purchased this album the day it was released, it's a classic release. I only hope future releases from Antimatter can hold up... Their earlier stuff is great as well, different, but good. This album is like a pure speedball of emotion...buy it now!

If you liked Antimatter's earlier albums you may be a bit put off with the almost pure acoustic direction they have taken with this. It does sound like an Antimatter album, but it is missing the synth sounds of the earlier works.
