   ANATHEMA - Recordings Underway On First Of Two Albums To Be Released This Year

British metallers ANATHEMA have issued the following update: 

"Greetings to all… 

We have taken all of our recording equipment to a house in England where we have built a studio and begun the first of two records to be released this year. The recording has been going very well. 

This first record is a semi-acoustic recording of many of our most loved older tracks. This will be released on Peaceville Records. The working title is Temporary Peace. 

The songs to be included on Temporary Peace are: 'Angelica', 'Leave No Trace', 'Inner Silence', 'One Last Goodbye', 'Are You There', 'Fragile Dreams', 'A Natural Disaster', 'Temporary Peace' and 'Flying'. 

The record will be a substantial work, arranged by Danny and performed and produced by the band, recorded and engineered by our own Les Smith, who was responsible for the recordings of ‘everything’ and the other new songs released online last year. 

This will also feature the cello of Dave Wesling, who previously toured with Vincent and Danny in 2004 and is featured on the DVD A Moment In Time. 

It may also include a reworking of one or two classic tracks from the very early days of Anathema. 

In late winter/early spring, immediately following the recording of this semi-acoustic album, we will enter a studio to record the next full length Anathema album, which will be produced by Anathema and mixed by Steven Wilson, independently from a record company. 

Upon completion, the new album will be licensed around the world, giving us artistic and creative control and keeping the rights to the music in our own hands. 

All being well, you will see the release of two records from Anathema this year. A semi acoustic classic tracks album, and a full length new album. 

Then touring… 

Best wishes to all, 

Anathema."

	No, it´s mixed by SW, not produced ;)
	Nobody needs to go anywhere else. We are all, if we only knew it, already there.

	I'm going to go with "something special." Everything Steven Wilson touches turns to gold. Well, except No Man.

	Lovely, if any of those promised releases ever see the Light of Day... Only kidding of course. I LOVE Anathema, as everyone who knows me just a bit knows very well. Making an acoustic album of their most beloved songs is indeed a brilliant idea. Anyone who has ever visited one of the guy's acoustic concerts know how well their songs thrive in that particular format. And as for Steven Wilson mixing their upcoming 'regular' CD - I'm glad the guys have managed to sort it out between them. This will be a GREAT album, I have no doubt about that! Hopefully it will also bring Anathema a bit more recognition for their awesome music of the past 15 years. It's high time!
