The addition of vocalist [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Anneke+van+Giersbergen]Anneke van Giersbergen[/url] in 1994 marked an evolution in The Gathering's musical style, with the group acknowledging the growing influence of shoegaze, post rock, experimental rock and the more ethereal sounds of [l=4AD] label bands, such as [a=Dead Can Dance], [a=Cocteau Twins], as well as [a=Pink Floyd] and [a=Massive Attack]; they expanded their sound, which acquired characteristics of progressive, alternative, and trip rock and gained success and recognition beyond the European borders. The group continue to expand upon the experimental nature of their music.
