Antimatter was formed by Mick Moss and Duncan Patterson (of Anathema) in order to deliver a darker, more melancholic version of what Duncan Patterson had been doing with Anathema (around Alternative 4 time period). The duo released three albums together before Duncan Patterson left to form another band, and honestly, that’s when Antimatter really found its sound — and Black Market Enlightenment is the culmination of that sound. Black Market Enlightenment features the heavy(ish) guitars first found on Leaving Eden, the electronics that have been a staple of the music since the beginning (although they did disappear for an album or two), saxophones & flutes, and the morose desperate atmosphere most prominent on Planetary Confinement. This is all brought together by the deep, expressive, vocals of Mick Moss as he generally imparts only one kind of message: loneliness, despair, and hopelessness.

makes the anathema album from this year look like absolute shite - this is how emotional, atmospheric rock is done. diverse, emotionally pulverising and unrelenting. so, so good.

How you guys handle this whining bleating voice? Music is not that bad though, but the vocals ruin everything completely.
