Gazpacho
are a very eclectic band, whose solutions mid way between pop and prog are
usually pleasant and in a rapid evolution during their career. This is the
opening track of their “Tick Tock” album and I like the way they put together
two very different ideas. The first one is a fast tempo, bombastic song,
strongly influenced by Muse and the so called operatic rock, featuring a very good melody and an impressive wall
of sound.
"Tick Tock" was the fifth Gazpacho's album.
Then, the
mood changes and you’re in a gloomy, dramatic, almost instrumental music with a
scent of Asian ethnic sound, slowly growing up both in tempo and volume, but
with a moving acoustic finale. So,
even if they quote some contemporary models, Gazpacho build up a very original
piece of music, unpredictable and striking, something you can easily call prog
rock. And, what’s more, something emotional.
