The highlights from the interview with De Morgen:

• Tom choose Michäel Borremans because he wanted to collaborate with a Belgian artist
• Tom was planning to let Borremans make a videoclip after he saw a videoproject by Borremans called The Feeding
• Tom is happy Borremans took the time to write all texts in the booklet
• John Denver has apparently also written a song about Buckminster Fuller (What One Man Can Do)
• Tom was attracted by the image of Fuller standing at the side of the river, ready to commit suicide after his girl died of tuberculose
• There's a lot of smoking on Vantage Point too They've took measures to save Tom's voice from being influenced by the smoke: the backstage is smokefree and they're planning to make the tourbus smokefree too
• Tom is doing sports again too (sailing, squash and recently skiing)
• Tom has only seen two movies with Maria Schneider and the poster of The Passenger is his all time favourite
• He wasn't amused by the fact a movie called Vantage Point was released almost at the same time of the album, but on the other hand a movie disappears after two months, while they will be touring for a year
• Tom called Guy Garvey because he thought the song needed a bit more drama
• They also asked Neneh Cherry to contribute to the album, but she will probably be on the next one
• Tom and Stephane asked her for a photo in the backstage of a festival
• He thinks they can still grow outside Belgium.
• For the first time since WCS the album will be released in Australia and Japan
• They will be touring the USA as well, but only the big cities: Boston, New York and Los Angeles
• There were doubts around Mauro staying in the band, but that is no longer an issue: Mauro will also be on the next album
• Tom wants to release the next album before the end of 2009
• They'll start recording in september
• dEUS has sold about a million albums in total
• Tom is always pissed when other Belgian bands are minimalising the impact of dEUS outside Belgium
• They've considered skipping Werchter and going to Dour because it fitted much better with the clubtour.
• They will not be doing Pukkelpop because they'll be on the other side of Europe at that time
• They'll perform in Antwerp in autumn, but not in the Sportpaleis or the Lotto-Arena
