TICK TOCK

The best album of 2009. Nothing else I have heard from 2009 comes close to invoking the pure lovliness and greatness of TICK TOCK by Gazpacho. There are 4 perfect songs here: "The Walk I", "The Walk II", Tick Tock III" and "Winter is Never". Not to say that the other 3 numbers are bad. They are nearly perfect in their own right. The ticking rhythm that runs through this masterpiece is hypnotic and invokes the story well (a plane crash in the desert and the 2 survivors journey). I am indebted to this site and the wonderful reviewers who turned me on to this wonderful album. Along with PASSION by Pendragon, which I also discovered this summer, this has been on constant rotation for several months on my IPhone. I don't give tons of 5 star ratings, but TICK TOCK deserves it. I am looking forward to exploring another release by Gazpacho, NIGHT, which has also garnered high rating on Prog Archives.
