Recording notes

From Weather Systems (2012). Weather Systems is the ninth album by British rock band Anathema, released on 16 April 2012 by Kscope. The album's personnel list credits Daniel Cavanagh with electric and acoustic guitar. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Anathema's other songs from Weather Systems, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
