The Gathering - If-then-else -2000- -eac-flac- Guide

Two decades later, this album still sounds like autumn in a deserted factory. The FLAC reveals the space between notes: the slight tape hiss during the piano intro of “Morbidond”, the way the distortion on “Shot to Pieces” blooms without clipping. If you only know “Strange Machines” era Gathering, if-then-else will disorient – in the best way. It’s the sound of a band shrugging off genres. Essential for fans of Portishead, Radiohead’s Amnesiac , or late-period Katatonia.
