Initially this band was a collaboration between the bald dude that’s in the picture and one of the guys from Anathema, and it featured guest female vocalists and a gothy, acoustic, trip hop hybrid that was really cool. Eventually, the Anathema dude left and the albums lost a bit of their diversity. With the release of Fear of a Unique Identity that diversity has finally returned. That doesn’t mean the electronics have fully returned (there are some, though), but there are guest vocalists again (in addition to his excellent voice, of course) and the songs are much more varied… and, of course, the whole thing is still wrapped in a very depressing atmosphere.
