THE GATHERING: 'Mandylion Deluxe Edition' To Arrive In November
October 18, 2005Century Media will celebrate the 10th anniversary of THE GATHERING's "Mandylion" album by releasing a special deluxe edition of the CD on November 21. The double CD set features new artwork, a 16-page booklet with song-by-song liner notes from the band and never-before-seen photos from the album's recording sessions. CD2 contains the first demo recordings THE GATHERING did with vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen in June 1994 and early 1995. "Solar Glider" is a previously unreleased instrumental while "Third Chance" appeared two years later in a different version on the "Nighttime Birds" album.
"Working with THE GATHERING on this album is one of my most beautiful memories. To record with such an open-minded band like them... they'd need three sounds when other bands needed 100, and those three sounds were enough to create a gorgeous atmosphere," stated "Mandylion" co-producer Siggi Bemm.
