Very depressive. Don't listen this album if your girlfriend is just leaving you!! Excellent... 10/10.

Amazingly intimate, this 'unplugged' effort from The Gathering simply astounds me. The original thunderous songs mutated into little pieces, histories, and passages. Minimizing instrumentation and maximizing atmosphere, the dutch outfit redefines the concept of sensuality.

Superb adaptations of old classics like 'Stonegarden' appear in this album, in which Anneke totally shows off breathing life into already marvelous pieces of music like the aforementioned piece, and 'Like Fountains', stunning.

Anneke freaks, rejoice in this, there's plenty of beauty here to hold on to, for years. I know I will.

Totally recommended, it's a 10 out of 10. Easily the best of the Gathering in years.

Interesting album with pleasant surprises: two songs from 'Always...' and one from 'Almost a Dance'. In my opinion the songs from Always are the best of the album, specially 'Stonegarden' that is absolutely outstanding with a great interpretation of Anneke, and the final part of 'the Mirror Waters' is amazing.
On the whole the album has a good sound and is well played but many times is too slow, like in 'Eleanor' that I think is the worst song, followed by the ones of 'How to measure...' that sound actually equal that in the original record.
But only for listening 'Stonegarden' and 'the Mirror Waters' the album worths your money.
