Gazpacho - Tick Tock

[Mouse]

Well, after playing Tick Tock (Part 3) to death on the free CD from Prog last month, I did a bit of snooping on their website and got the album from iTunes. For £5.35.

Phenomenal! Absolutely stunning! It's been quite a while since I've heard a band come out with so many different textures and sounds within one piece and manage to make them all work together. I love this album! Along with Joe Bonamassa's The Ballad Of John Henry, I think it's the release of the year so far.  

But... that's all my opinion. Has anyone else heard this album? Any views on the band in general? Any suggestions as to which one of theirs I get next?

Oh yeah, if you want to get it in MP3 and for slightly cheaper, try Amazon here. For less than a fiver, I honestly think you can't go wrong.  8-)

I've been a big fan of Gazpacho since discovering them about a year or so ago, and I agree; Tick Tock is an exceptionally good album.  I had the immense pleasure of seeing them at the Islington Academy on their recent promotional tour and they are also an extremely accomplished live act.

I've bought everything they have released and would recommend Night or Firebird as your next acquisition, though to be honest they're all good.

You could also join their supporters section of their web site "The Soupkitchen" and get access to a whole heap of live material and other odds and ends:

I'm really looking forward to seeing them again at Loreley where the performance will eb recorded for a live DVD!

Yup, I've played this track over and over too, just haven't got as far as buying the whole album yet.

Problem is there's just too much good music to listen to - can't afford to buy it and for Mrs SPM and the Progkids to eat as well. I have a list of about 30 I want at the moment and the list just keeps on growing.

Guess they're gonna have to go  :roll:

QFT.

I really want to get the new Lazuli (saw them at ROSFest and they are great!), but after the $ conversion and shipping it's almost $22.  ouch.

Just had a listen to Lazuli on myspace - fantastic! I'll add them to my list. Another day without food, then!
