After a successful release of the EP Black Light District in 2002, the Gathering release in 2003 their most precious Souvenirs.

Again the Gathering rock, groove and take you on a exciting journey through highly impressive emotional music, in which Anneke van Giersbergen reflects on her mental "souvenirs" of real life experience. Souvenirs breathes a fascinating modern dark sound in which a perfect musical balance between organic and electronic sounds go hand in hand with more psychedelic film music.

Together with producer Zlaya Hadzich [Motorpsycho, Sonic Youth, Low, Agresion] the band streamlined a mere 50 minutes of music and is joined by Trickster G [Ulver], who sings the song A Life All Mine together with Anneke. With the release of How To Measure A Planet? [1998], the Gathering invented the term "triprock" to escape the pigeonhole community and with Souvenirs again they prove to be pioneers in bending modern sounds into beautiful, experimental and emotional music.
