There are two bands named Gazpacho:
The first are a Norwegian band, who have been described by one critic as being “classical post ambient nocturnal atmospheric neo-progressive folk world rock” Gazpacho almost defies genre classification. Gazpacho have also been described as “the greatest unsigned band in the world” by some critics. A tour of Europe as support for Marillion’s “Marbles” tour radically raised their profile, earning the respect of audiences everywhere they played and garnering critical acclaim.
Without the backing of a major label, Gazpacho is one of many bands now utilising the resources of the internet to create word of mouth promotional opportunities, with a reliance on their website and its forum, online shopping, MySpace and other ‘net initiatives to spread the word. This allows the band to hold down full time jobs, yet still manage to release an album a year with total artistic control over their compositions and distribution.
Characterised by moody keyboards that evoke the work of Kevin Moore (Dream Theater, OSI, Chroma Key) or Richard Barbieri (Japan, Porcupine Tree), a stunning violin virtuoso (but not in the aggressive David Cross of King Crimson vein), a poignant and relevant rhythm section, ethereal guitars (closest comparisons are probably Steve Rothery of Marillion, Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree and Jon Thor Birgisson of Sigur Ros, Jan Henrik Ohme’s floating, pure Hypnotic voice (think David Sylvian of Japan meets Thom Yorke of Radiohead meets Steve Hogarth of latter day Marillion)and atmospheric contributions from samples, low whistle, tin whistle, banjo, accordion, didgeridoo and mandolin.
