Mar 2010

We are touched by seeing the response of our music out there!

“Tick Tock” was voted album of the first half-year 2009’ on Progrock-dt , Tick Tock was voted to be the second best album for all of 2009. Polls with DPRP showed “Tick tock” landing in at 5th place. Results here. New this year is that we’ve also been mentioned in best tracks (The walk/ Tick tock on 6th and 7th), Best artwork (5th place), best concert (5th place). The Progwereld audience voted in large numbers, and guess what – we came in first! . Last but not least, Poland seems to be catching on to gazpacho, where gazpacho came in second at Rock Area as well as ranked 36 on national polish radio. We throw hugs and thank you’s across the ocean to all our fans! Hope to see you on tour!

Back catalogue available at Galileo records

You can now get all of our albums for the price of €21 (incl. shipping) at Galileo records.

A small update from the inside: We're currently putting together songs for a new album, currently over 60 minutes of music - but still far too early to promise a launch date as there's still alot to be done: re-recording, editing, mixing, production, guest orchestras, choirs to arrange...:-) But we can assure you the style of music is definitely in the vain of gazpacho, perhaps our masterpiece (but that's what we always struggle for in every album)..:-) Still too early to tell - the finished product always differs from the early "demo" stages. We MIGHT try out a track live during the tour, but we will at least try out songs never performed live. See you on tour!

Feb 2009

Tick Tock

Our fifth studio album, titled Tick Tock, is scheduled to be released in March 2009. The album will be released by HWT-records, a division of Sony BMG.
Track Listing:
1. Desert Flight (7:39)
2. The Walk (13:41)
3. Tick Tock (22:24)
4. Winter is never (4:55)

Now, who said we weren't radio friendly? (Although we can expect a radio edit of Winter is Never).

Here's a little story about the album: December 29, 1935 Antoine de Saint-Exupery took off in an attempt at a long distance flight from Paris to Saigon. He crashed in the Desert many hours later stranded with his co pilot Prevot. Later he recounted his experience in a book called Wind, Sand and Stars and this story forms the basis of the Tick Tock album. After Night the monotonus repetition of a single bar of music that is changed by the chords and the songs on top of it still held a seductive charm for Gazpacho and though Night dabbled in this, Tick Tock wallows.

The metaphor of a desert walk represented by a ticking clock may not be sublime but by golly the music is in moments.

Almost as if you were walking a long and lonely walk in the desert where there is only you, the stars, wind and sand, the sound of your footsteps softened by the burning sand and heard only through the bones of the body.

    Back from Holland after two very successful (and fun!) evenings. It was wonderful to meet up with everyone again, and be able to showcase 'Night' live. Your response has been utterly overwhelming, we managed to sell out the pre-stock of 500 'Night' CD's during the weekend! Pictures will be coming in as we go along in the next few weeks, but here are some links we managed to gather throughout the days we've been back. Zoetemeer and the Marillion weekend courtesy of Nick Askew. Also, Bert Treep's site where we went through an in depth interview (TBA), and Willemklopper's site to mention some wonderful photographers.

    Reviews of 'Night' are starting to pop in already, DPRP's roundtable review providing fantastic indepth english reviews by 3 individuals at DPRP, the trusted Progwereld (Dutch), as well as Baby Blueseiten (German) and Hardsounds (Italian).

    Free live tracks for downloading!

    Christmas came early this year..:-) Something to keep you entertained this autumn while we continue to work on our 4th album, we're giving away a bag of mp3's for nothing! The following tracks Substitute for Murder, Bravo, The Secret, Vulture, Sea of Tranquility and Orion I & II* (*only for soupkitchen members) were recorded in Elysee Montmatre, Paris November 2005. The recordings are of varying quality (they were recorded onto our bass player's mini disc) but you'll definitely get the vibe of the concert. Rip them onto a CD, share them out with friends, whatever really. Go to our music page and scroll down the page to start downloading! Happy listening!

    August 2006

    Pictures!

    Visit this link. Taken in June, partly to prove that we are actually alive and well, and to keep you involved in what we're doing! This trip proved creative, as we managed to get 10-12 minutes extra music laid down for our song which you may have started hearing rumours about... Writing in a cabin is a first for us, as we've always been in the studio (dungeon) to write, but wanted new inspiration (& partly due to the heat wave) to compose at Thomas' cabin outside Oslo. The wonders of technology, gives the chance of being mobile. You may notice in these pictures that it's not all doom and gloom..:-) Happy viewing!

    August 2006

    We're alive! and working hard...

    Album's coming along just nicely, and we're working very hard in the studio. Partly written together at Thomas' cabin this summer and partly written in the studio, we've been very mobile and creative in the process (pictures will come soon!). During that time, and for those of you who are a little impatient, we had an interview with Josh Turner in June which you should find here Happy reading!

    March 2006

    Firebird gets awards!.

    Perhaps not the grammies, but nevertheless, the people have spoken: DPRP's annual poll shows Firebird at 21st place for "Album of 2005", Progwereld have now had Firebird in the top 10 for over 6 months (!), 9th place in "Metal Italia", and the Rogues Gallery gave it the second best album for 2005! It also remained in the top 10 throughout the whole autumn of 2005 at Just For Kicks as well as honourable mentions in various sites and magazines. So, I guess we're doing something right... 2006 is showing promise...

    We're back in the dungeons again as we set off towards writing the 4th studio album. If you want to read on it's progress, read the details on our blogspace. Hope to keep you updated as we go along and thanks for your votes...:-)

    DVD+R "Bootleg" copies European tour 2004


    We're hoping to cross the pond later this year to gig at some venues. This costs us quite a bit of money, so to help support it, for a limited period of time (until 31 October) we're offering copies of the bands' personal video camera recordings from the European tour in 2004. Don't expect "Hollywood quality" at only €8 a piece (including postage and packaging), but could prove to be nice to have for collectors..:-)

    Firebird available now!


    BUY Firebird here!

    It's finally here! Exciting times for the band as we are now launching this through Intact Records! We hope you listen to it loud on your system from start to finish (over a glass or bottle of wine or anything else that takes your fancy) and then over and over again..:-)

    Some highlights: The tension filled opener 'Vulture', the over 8 minute epic 'Orion', and also appearing on Firebird's "Do you Know What You Are Saying", Marillion's guitar legend Steve Rothery contributes with stunning melodic guitars, enigmatic 'Jezebel', challenging 'Firebird', orchestral 'Once in a lifetime'... every song on this album has that little special story to tell...

    Gazpacho signs with Intact Records (UK)!

    Gazpacho now signs with the British record label "Intact Records". As a result, we will now have established online distribution channels reaching out to you! The first release on Intact Records will be Gazpacho's third album titled Firebird, our most accomplished work to date. The very first place to sell the album is through http://www.racketrecords.com, an independent online shop for new music. Their website is currently under construction, and will be very relaunched soon so expect information there in the not so distant future. Gazpacho will be labelmates with with the likes of Richard Barbieri (Porcupine Tree), John Wesley, and Marillion. We look forward to working with Intact.

    As previously mentioned, Intact have also licensed the Gazpacho back catalogue, which means that "Bravo" and "When Earth Lets Go" will be manufactured & printed at Intact Records and distributed via Racket Records. We have still have some stock left of the first versions through CDbaby (USA), Just for Kicks (GER), Soundoo (EU) and directly from us, so anyone wanting to get their hands on the "first issue", now is the time.

    Firebird - The Album

    Here's the confirmed tracklist:
  • Vulture (5.54)
  • Symbols (4.25)
  • Swallow (5.42)
  • Orion (I & II) (8.36)
  • Prisoner (4.15)
  • Jezebel (4.25)
  • Black Widow (4.35)
  • Firebird (5.32)
  • Do you know what you are saying? (6.26)
  • Once in a lifetime (5.04) Total running time is approx. 55 minutes.

    We are fine tuning the final sections for the album, and are confident in saying that this is going to be the best album from Gazpacho ever! Artwork is created by the extremely talented Antonio Seijas Cruz and has been sent to our new label. Mastering is scheduled within the next 2 weeks. Firebird is a different kind of journey than its predecessors. Don't necessarily expect a 'party' album, but instead a "rollercoaster" ride within the theme of Firebird. We had a great time making it, and hope it will give you many!

    So, when is the album released? All pending, we hope to have it printed up in the beginning of July, but we'll get back to this later. We've also selected a few fans' contributions to go on the album! The infamous 'info minister', rallied a competition on the Gazpacho forum to join the "Fellowship of the soup" with small sound/effect samples. Some of you (Sorry, we couldn't put all of you on!) have been selected based on well thought out contributions... so congratulations! The "winners" are included in the album credits, and will receive no other remuneration whatsoever, Mwahahaha!

    Presenting our new bass player Kristian 'Fido' Torp

    A final note, sadly Roy has left the band due to private circumstances. We wish him the best of luck for the future in whichever projects he may choose. Kristian 'Fido' has now taken on the role of bass on this album. You may remember him from our concert in Gamla back in January where he stunned quite a few with his playing and he just naturally barked his way into the band environment. He's currently studying to become a professor in bass, we never knew that kind of profession existed. This man lives in the woods and has a tendency to bark, bite and whine. Hence the nickname, but aren't all bass players a bit... "special"?

    New album

    New album progressing nicely, 2 tracks now have an official title: 'Orion' and 'Prisoner'. Exact launch date will be announced soon.
