Some guy pulled out an old cassette with "Lovelorn Rhapsody" at a party, I was quite drunk but managed to notice this was something special. I had sense enough to ask the guy to write down the name of the band (it's not easy for a Dane to pronounce or understand the word Anathema, trying it for the first time drunk was impossible).
The only album I could find at the time was "Eternity", not exactly what I expected, but Anathema has been my favourite band since the secon´d time I listened to it. That was 97.
