Creation and publication
Before the end of the contract with Century Media , the band had reissued their first two albums on their own label. For their twelve and a half year anniversary, The Gathering released new pieces for the first time on Psychonaut Records. Black Light District was recorded from 2001 to 2002, mixed by the band and producer Zlaya Hadzich, and mastered by Alan Ward. The EP was initially made available as a download in the summer of 2002, was released a few weeks later with a multimedia part on CD and in 2010 also on LP.
Track list

- Debris - 4:35
- Broken Glass (piano version) - 3:30
style
The EP represents a further development of The Gatherings style, which on if_then_else already showed echoes of alternative rock and progressive rock and now has even more influences from electronic music, e.g. B. from the trip-hop . This development and the gloomy atmosphere of Black Light District point to the following studio album Souvenirs , on which another version of Broken Glass was to be released.
reception
“The Gathering stayed true to their atmospheric direction and Anneke van Giersbergen's singing still beguiles the senses. But the Dutch have consistently developed further stylistically [...]. "
“'Black Light District' [sic!] Is more attractive than any red-light district in the world. You are literally forced to listen to the three songs over and over again. [...] comparisons? None to be taken seriously. "
