GET IT WHILE IT'S COLD (37°C)

I have been ignoring Gazpacho far too long, but the interview I did with them vetted my appetite for their albums. By pure default and to support this grossly underrated scene, I buy all the Norwegian prog albums I can get my hand on. This, their demo, is no exception.

I understand why this demo created a stir when it was distributed to the Marillion fans and the busy men in the music business. It has a lot of going for it and it showcases Gazpacho as a vastly talented band. It is far too much uptempo pop-rock for my liking though. I am more a fan of the more mature songs they did on the live album I was briefly listening to earlier this morning. This demo has some good songs, but not any great songs. It is still worthy checking out. But it is not the Gazpacho which appeared on their more recent albums, though.

3 stars and a round of applause for this demo
