Anneke Van Giersbergen & Danny Cavanagh - In Parallel


Some Guy loves to share. You love people who share and therefore you're going to love me. Some Guy also wishes to express his deepest apologies for being such a slacker lately. Some Guy has to go to collage and stuff and they actually make Some Guy do work! Alright, enough with the third person; previously all I've ever done is borrow other blog's download links to stuff, but not this time. For the first time ever, I actually bought an album without pirating it first to make sure it doesn't suck. And here it is in delicious 320 KB/s MP3s.

This album is a live mostly acoustic collaboration between two wonderful musicians, Anneke van Giersbergen (Agua de Annique, ex The Gathering) and Danny Cavanagh (Anathema). All three of those bands are quite awesome, so I figured that this would be REALLY AWESOME with the two of them working together. And I'm not disappointed, it was money well spent.

The album opens with, a Massive Attack cover? If I didn't read the track list that would really have surprised me. And it's a pretty damned good cover as well (Better than the original I'd say). In fact I'd go as far to say that I love every single song on this album more than the original, and that's not just me being blinded by fanboyism. Well, every song except for the song that closes the album, Jolene. The Me First and the Gimme Gimmes' cover of that song is amazing. The highlight of the album would have to be A Natural Disaster. It's a billion times better than the version from the Anathema album of the same name.

I'm convinced that this duo could cover Brokencyde and it would sound good. This is about as good as a live album can be. The production quality is great (There isn't even any annoying noise from the audience!) It will be a fine addition to your ever growing collection of illegally acquired music. This thing had to be shipped over the Netherlands just for you. You better like it, and if you do, buy it.

No password. Mediafire needs to lift that pesky 100 MB per file for free users thing. Or I could share in shittier quality. I think it's obvious which one needs to change though.
