Air is the name of the first album of Agua de Annique, maybe the name of the band doesn't say too much but if you know The Gathering and you are a fan of them you maybe know that this is the name of the new project by Anneke van Giersbergen (former The Gathering vocalist).This album was released in October 2007 and it is a "two thumbs up" album. By being the first album of the band I was afraid to get a young band with a sound without an identity (obviously I forgot to include Anneke's experience -my bad- ). After hearing the first track "Beautiful one" you notice that this new band has Anneke's personal touch, her experience and composition. I have to say that I hear in this album a "different" Anneke, the one that has all the liberty to compose any song in any way (in her way), a little bit different of The Gathering but with its touch where you can find a different sound but already knew.
The track list is the following:
- Beautiful One
- Witnesses
- Yalin
- Day After Yesterday
- My Girl
- Take Care of Me
- Ice Water
- You Are Nice
- Trail of Grief
- Come Wander
- Sunken Soldiers
- Lost and Found
- Asleep
Almost the complete album has quiet songs, they are a kind of relaxing songs and you can listen them while you are doing another task and you need to stay calm and quiet. On the other hand several lyrics are depressive, lyrics where you can hear a broken heart or a separation from a beloved one.
This is an album that you really have to hear and enjoy. It's a new album by Anneke walking in this new way without The Gathering. For the first album I have to say that she has begin this new phase in the right way and I hope to hear more and more about Agua de Annique in the following months and years.
If you listen this disc please let me know your comments about it.
