Title Note

When longtime vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen announced her departure from the Gathering after a decade of mutual musical triumphs, many fans wondered whether the hallowed Dutch group could possibly go on without their iconic, signature voice. Despite acting relatively quickly to acquire a capable new singer in Norwegian Silje Wergeland (ex-Octavia Sperati), the Gathering's remaining members still had lots of people to convince and many available musical directions to follow. 2009's WEST POLE found the Gathering wisely, and probably inevitably, sounding like their typically atypical, daringly eclectic selves. The only "trend" in evidence on first inspection was a revived desire to rock (following a recent gradual descent into a progressive sort of mellow trip-hop). Rocking out is certainly the agenda put forth by guitar-driven opener "When Trust Becomes Sound," an instrumental that cleverly teases the listener before Wergeland's imminent debut on the excellent, aptly named exhalation of relief that is "Treasure," which along with other subsequent offerings like "All You Are" and "No One Spoke," takes the Gathering back to the style of 1998's avant-rock masterpiece HOW TO MEASURE A PLANET? Even the album's mellow moments, such as the title track, "No Bird Call," and "You Promised Me a Symphony," avoid the use of overt electronics beyond the odd synthesizer. The resulting dreamy combination of ethereal minimalism and lush orchestration harks back to the Gathering's 1995 classic MANDYLION and gives Wergeland's voice plenty of room to soar free.
