Im afraid there wont be any live drums again on Lights Out as that would nean that me and Dunc would have to tolerate working with a `drummer` !!! ho ho ho
Its just easier for us to work the beats out ourselves, and we can get more interesting and unusual sounds out of samples than from a guy with a stick in his hand.
Im sure that one day an Antimatter album will feature percussion and maybe even segments of live drums.

I can understand your position.
We used synth drums for years, cause we liked it, but some people really DON'T like it... especially drummers. But this is the price one pays if he's doing something different from the rest.
I just got my copy of "Saviour" and I don't believe it would sound as atmospherical using real drums. (Putting different delay and echoes to every single snare beat and so on.)
I really love "Saviour" the way it is. Sometimes reminds me a little bit of the German band "Deine Lakaien". You know them? Have got some similar instrumentations and programming, but they are more into that dark wave pop stuff.
Well... I'm really looking forward to "Lights out".
'Lights out' will fullfill the promises that 'Saviour' made, im sure that one day we will do the ultimate antimatter album - i.e. you can only listen to it once, then you realise you have been insane your entire adult life and its time to be sectioned.
