Vantage Point by dEUS
Vantage Point is an album by dEUS, released in 2008. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The architect”, on 1 list and voted number one once.
Vantage Point, the fifth studio album from Antwerp's dEUS, landed across Europe on 18 April 2008 on V2, and after years of lineup churn it was the first dEUS record made by the same lineup as the one before it. That meant Tom Barman singing and playing guitar, Klaas Janzoons on keyboards and violin, Mauro Pawlowski on guitar and backing vocals, Alan Gevaert on bass and Stéphane Misseghers on drums, and they cut it in a studio they had built themselves in Borgerhout, just outside Antwerp.
The stability shows: this is dEUS sounding sleek and sure of itself, the old art-rock twitchiness channeled into lean, danceable grooves, with "The Architect" strutting out front and "Favourite Game" close behind. Belgium bought it in a hurry: Gold in its first week, Platinum a month later.
