This review is from: Antimatter Vs. Antimatter (Audio CD)

antimatter versus antimatter. A question of reflections, self, and time.
As we wander ever closer to the abyss of an oil shortage, global warming, and pollution enhanced sunsets glowing below as we scan the stratosphere in luxury jetliners, the televised transmissions are convoluted in their broadcast. Sound waves, light waves and carrier signals collide and refract in the dark silence of the future: herein lies the REAL antimatter. Magnetic tapes are processed through filters both virtual and analog, to the effect of ghosts. A memory of what skylines looked like decades before is transmuted into a panopticon of Orwellian proportions. The whales echo their natural sonar in miles of subsonic requests...and above satellites watch us in simultaneous observation of synchronous remission. Listen...empty night contains blinking radio towers of wisdom.

This review is from: Antimatter Vs. Antimatter (Audio CD)

This album is such a bore. Heck, BOTH their albums are a bore. I don't know how they even got this onto the album without the computer breaking. Its horrible. I got this album because I mistakenly thought it was the OTHER band Antimatter (Mick Moss) which is musical genius. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS. If you thought this was the same Antimatter that did "Planetary Confinement," "Leaving Eden," "Savior," or "Lights Out" you're mistaken. Run as fast as you can. This is horrible. It sounds like somebody pushed the record button and played on the keyboard while drunk for a few hours. LAME.
