The Gathering

My vote, could have been better because:

Shrink: I can find any different in that version.
Eleonor: Simply lost the essence.
Amity: Nothing new, very similar to some version of Amity´s single.
Like Fountains: O.K. Anneke´s voice makes magic this song, but I don´t like the music (only piano, you know).

But the rest are exelent, especially Mirror Waters, amazing.

e.g. there is no guitar

that's what I thought at the very first listening, but now I find it simply great, all the songs are quieter and calmer then the originals, aren't they?

Yeah, especially to the Timecode Audio Remix

Are you mad or what? The piano is what makes the song that beautiful, connected to Anneke's voice... oh my, one of my very faves on this album!


Well, that at least

O.K. you´re shrouded in the album, and maybe is very hard listen to differents opinion to yours.

Do you like Almost A Dance album, I like too much, the music is exelent, great, etc, that why I don´t liked "Like Fountains" version, and the same case is with Always album but Mirror Water keep the force and essence.
My opinion obviously. And yes , I´m mad and MANIAC!!!

Nice feedback on the cd from everybody. I can't wait til it comes out here in the States on March 9th so i'm going to have to get an import copy of the cd somewhere.

I don't know why I can't listen and enjoy "the mirror waters".. it's the weakest song on the album. I guess it's the ONLY weak song

I like almost a dance to (when comes to music, not vocals ) and Like Fountains is one of my faves there, but... I don't know, I prefer the SB version And Mirror Waters really keep that power from Always

Yeah, i really want to hear this cd before March 9th! I tried to order the cd from a few websites but it's on "backorder", damn! I'll keep looking for it anyway.

adorable

Yes, of course on a TG forum you could expect a lot of positive votes... however I for one would say it sucked supposing that it did.

Honestly though, it is fantastic!!

I still haven't heard it...

For me Sleepy Buildings is absolutely amazing! I just bought it this past Monday at the Washington DC show and I haven't been able to stop listening to it. Really the only way I could see it being better is if it was longer ...perhaps a double disc set.

I was so happy they had them at the show for sale. From all the great stuff I've been hearing about SB...I'm not sure I could've beared to wait untill the US release.

I loved it very much. I was very pleased to hear the new versions of "Stonegarden", "The Mirror Waters", and "Like Fountains". They all sound amazing, possibly better than the originals for that matter. Also, I very much enjoy the "Sleepy Buildings" track. It's an amazingly beautiful song that is probably my favorite on there. I like how they basically put together a flashback album to all their previous works. This is an amazing live album as well because if it wasn't for the crowd applauding at the end of each track, you can hardly tell it is even live. They sound so amazingly perfect in person..its unbelievable. This album has not left my cd player since I purchased it at the show in Cleveland, and I doubt it will for quite some time. It's more favorite Gathering album since "If_Then_Else" came around, and Souvenirs was great, but I think Sleepy Buildings definately tops it.
