Anathema - Resonance Vol 1 & 2

A themed double cd collection of Anathema's best Peaceville label material. The 'Resonance 1 & 2' collection displays Anathema's finest moments from their Peaceville days, divided into an ambient selection & also their heavier tracks, showcasing the band's ability to create memorable, diverse and intense atmospheric rock music & metal.The double album contains tracks from Anathema's first 4 albums & EPs, as well as rarities and flawless covers of Pink Floyd classic tracks.With such a huge wealth of material existing in shades of light and dark, brutal and fragile, a two-part retrospective was the only way to do Anathema's musical career the justice it deserves.The band recently embarked upon a series of European shows, titled the 'Resonance tour', playing a selection of classic songs from the band's various eras, including songs contained on this release.The shows also notably featured guest appearances from core members of Anathema's early incarnation; namely bassist Duncan Paterson & original vocalist Darren White.Anathema began their musical career in Liverpool. They signed to Peaceville Records in early 1992 and released four albums and two EP's before moving on to a more progressive and atmospheric style as is evident on the band's recent works on the kscope label.
