Recordings for a follow-up album to Hologram of Baal (September 1998) turned out to be painstakingly slow due to numerous side projects and geographical locations of different members – with Steve Kilbey in Sweden, Marty Willson-Piper in England and the others in Australia. While taking time off to focus on solo efforts and other work – including a brief reunion of All About Eve for Willson-Piper, the bandmates met across several separate sessions. Partially recorded in both Sweden and Australia, After Everything Now This, appeared in January 2002 and saw a focus on the softer elements of the band. With only three obvious "rock" tracks out of ten, gentler soundscapes predominated. The successive world tour had the band in a more subdued setting as well, with most tracks performed primarily acoustically and featuring guest tour and session musician David Lane on piano.

A double album of remixes and outtakes from the After Everything sessions was released in November, entitled Parallel Universe.
