Antimatter Duncan Patterson live at Portugal 210908

Unconstrained and with tremendous force thats a good way to characterize Mick Moss performance on ANTIMATTERs fourth album Leaving Eden.
The Englishman has undoubtedly found a way to gather his own power after his composing partner of many years Duncan Patterson has left the band and this power has flown into a kind of music that lo and behold has quite a rocking edge at times.
I wanted to create power and wide spaces in the studio Mick says.
He was envisioning a dark and laid-back rock album combining the hardest and lightest songs from ANTIMATTERs history.
It seems fitting then that Mick invited a more than competent session musician Anathemas guitarist Danny Cavanagh into the studio for the dynamic recordings.
The sensitive riffs and melodies do open vast spaces for Micks vocals sounding self-confident and melancholic at the same time and his personal lyrics with their introspective focus.
The album stands on its own two feet Mick acknowledges the changes in sound which he however doesnt think are that huge: Im walking the line between the overtly emotional stuff a la Planetary Confinement and the more rockier material I was into on Lights Out.
To the listeners all of the above means that once again they are invited to sit back and join ANTIMATTER on their journey a lively one at first then growing ever more pensive to finally end in contemplation.
Like in that line in the albums last song Fighting For A Lost Cause: Some things never change this is also true of ANTIMATTERs haunting atmospheres
