Will Sasha ever make a studio album again?

I've been a Sasha and John Digweed fan for eons, though admittedly I don't listen to much anymore. His first real studio album was Airdrawndagger back in 2002 (which I still love) and there are no signs of another one. Anyone else want to see another one from him?

He's the same guy who wrote Xpander, right? www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Gu7CXfRdA

Indeed.

I heard some tracks from Airdrawndagger, which I'm slowly remembering now. I don't know why but it thought it was pretty generic in some tracks, but I remember listening to the opening track and being blown away for such a beautiful atmosphere.

Well, not quite:

But yeah, Alexander Coe's remix of Spooky - Little Bullet is probably the most known version of it

As for Airdrawndagger, I liked it a lot.
I also agree with this review of it though:

I remember something from an interview it was a one time only project for an own album...
But yeah, I love that album

I loved the Northern Exposure series. I discovered a lot of good music that way. Gus Gus and Chicane.

Great topic.

Airdrawndagger was the first electronica album I ever bought, and I still rank it in my top 5 or 10 albums of all time, right up with Aphex Twin and BOC.

I'd love to see another album from the guy, but I haven't heard anything besides a post on his Facebook about news coming soon.

It's sad because Airdrawndagger was heads and tails above his other stuff (besides Northern Exposure, but you can't really compare an original album with a mix album). His newer stuff I haven't much cared for, but Airdrawndagger is still an amazing album.

And are you THE Helios?
