Hindsight is a compilation by the British band Anathema . It was published by Kscope in 2008 .
Creation and publication
After A Natural Disaster , the band was initially without a record deal for a long time, but continued to work on new material and made download singles available on their homepage. Finally, Anathema signed with Kscope and in early 2008 recorded a long-announced compilation with new recordings of older pieces. The cellist David Wesling of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra was a guest musician. Hindsight was produced by the band and mixed by Les Smith and Jamie Cavanagh.

style
The new recordings on Hindsight are semi- acoustic versions . The pieces, the originals of which come from the last five albums, have been rearranged for acoustic guitar, piano and cello, electric guitar and keyboard are only used subtly. Vincent Cavanagh and Lee Douglas' vocals are mostly the focus of the calm and melancholy album.
reception
“[ Hindsight is] more than just a filler. The songs have a previously unimagined density. The opener 'Fragile Dreams' already proves that reducing the hardness of Anathema's strengths makes it even more apparent [...]. "
“The good thing is that the new setting brought the gentle melancholy present in Anathema's music to the forefront; there was a danger of the band being too melodramatic with Hindsight, but it's smartly avoided (for the most part) without losing the emotion. "
