digipack. The Brink is the new album by former Anathema mastermind Duncan Patterson, who set up the band Alternative 4 as a return to the use of electric instruments and more of a rock format for the first time since quitting Anathema in 1998.

Alternative 4 is Duncan Patterson's (ex-Anathema, ex-Antimatter, Íon) latest brainchild. With the band name derived from the eponymous Anathema album from 1998, the musical and atmospheric direction of this band is given: a solid rock foundation enriched with painful piano and string arrangements, sometimes on the verge of ambient music, sometimes offering the big influence of the rather dark and abysmal side of Pink Floyd. All this can already be witnessed on last year's debut album "The Brink" which now receives its re-release including additional bonus material to mark the beginning of Alternative 4’s and Prophecy’s future collaboration. The limited digipak edition of “The Brink” does not only contain the full album but also a bonus CD including three remixes and seven live songs (recorded in Istanbul, Turkey) plus a bonus DVD featuring the professional video clips of the songs “False Light” and “Underlooked” as well as a live clip of “Still Waters”.

Duncan Patterson, the main composer of the most acclaimed ANATHEMA albums, continues his artistic journey in the new band ALTERNATIVE 4, which style he describes as cinematic rock with classical arrangement. The band members feature also Mark Kelson (THE ETERNAL) and Argentinian drummer Mauro Frison. The musicians recorded most of the material in Ireland, with additional orchestral parts recorded in Mexico. All these elements constitute to international and universal character of the whole project. Spatial, intriguing and extremely atmospheric soundscapes, which fill "The Brink", make these songs so utterly beautiful. Record Label: Audio Cave Style: Indie Rock
