The Gathering
Accessories-Rarities And B-Sides

Sooner or later, any well-known team pampers its fans with the release of various rarities. The Dutch band The Gathering has a cult status for a long time and it's not at all surprising that the old label of the band, thoroughly rummaging in the game, offered fans of the band a double collection of all sorts of goodies. This included material from various periods, beginning with the recordings from the first Anneke performance in the band and ending with a large number of demo tracks for the albums "Nighttime Birds" & "How To Measure A Planet?", plus a few interesting cover versions and curious variations with the orchestra of some known tracks, thanks to symphonic arrangements received a new life. For the non-fan group, this release will be of little interest, and is unlikely to give an adequate idea of ​​The Gathering, but for any admirer of the talent Anneke and Co this disc will be a real gift. The booklet contains a lot of interesting photos and detailed information about each track.

It is a good collection of songs hidden by the Dutch band Gathering, which is a little weak now. I can not say it is the best, but it gives more than usual music. Especially if you are a fan of them, you will be able to appreciate it very much.
