Holland's THE GATHERING have finalized the track listing for their new "semi-acoustic" live album, "Sleepy Buildings", due on January 26 through Century Media Records. Recorded at two exclusive gigs held at the LUX movie theatre and venue in Nijmegen, Holland on August 21-22, the disc features selections from the group's entire career - from the classic debut "Always" to the commercial breakthough "Mandylion" to the trip-rock of "If_Then_Else".

The complete track listing for "Sleepy Buildings" is as follows:

01. Locked Away
02. Saturnine
03. Amity
04. The Mirror Waters
05. Red Is A Slow Colour
06. Sleepy Buildings
07. Travel
08. Shrink
09. In Motion Part II
10. Stonegarden
11. My Electricity
12. Marooned
13. Like Fountains

According to the band, " 'The May Song' and 'Nighttime Birds' fell through, and we didn't mix them. 'NB' is already in more or less the same version available on our 'Superheat' live album, 'TMS' sounded simply not that well.

"We are still busy finding dates for our Sleepy Buildings Tour 2004. We will play Germany for sure, possibly some churches! We will keep you informed."

Upcoming THE GATHERING tour dates:

Jan. 08 - Huize Maas (Eurosonic) - Groningen, NETH
Jan. 30 - De Groene Engel - Oss, NETH
Mar. 02 - Paradiso - Amsterdam, NETH
Mar. 04 - Bosuil - Weert, NETH
Mar. 05 - Lux - Nijmegen, NETH
Mar. 06 - Lux - Nijmegen, NETH
Mar. 07 Oosterpoort Groningen, NETH

The band's Jan. 8 gig in Groningen will be split between an acoustic set and a "normal" THE GATHERING show and will mark the live debut with the group of new bassist Marjolein Kooijman, who replaced Hugo Prinsen Geerligs last month. Check out photos of the new lineup: Photo#1, Photo#2.
