This compilation of Antimatter's works
presents as well old recordings as new arrangements. Sometimes the original was
just fine, but I like a rethinking process and the artist's wish to communicate
it; this is what is proper to electronic music and moods are welcome here.
No real structure, nice background soundtrack.
Most of all, this is not a standard best of album, but a compilation of
exclusively unreleased recordings and alternative versions from the archives of
the band compiled by Antimatter mastermind Mick Moss himself, driven by
passion, who says, after he had worked for months on these pieces of music
collected and put to life: "I would love to be able to hear this collection in
its entirety with fresh ears for the first time, but that’s now for the listener
to do."
Alternative Matter features demo and
acoustic versions of well-known Antimatter songs, live recordings,
remixes, and also new recordings which have been conceived especially for this
compilation. Out now is still available: a digipack double CD with 22 unreleased
recordings and a total playing time of more than 100 minutes and as a premium
art book with more than 100(!) pages, three audio CDs and one DVD.
