Gazpacho "Demon"


I've never liked gazpacho, the soup, but while researching uses for leftover Bloody Mary mix, I found a promising recipe from Ina Garten (Da Vida) that turned out to be a wonderful mixture which has changed my view on this cold, liquid medley.  Gazpacho, the band, took the name based on "the bastard of soups...(offering) a surprise, something unexpected, something out of the norm..."  They hail from Norway (I was trying to think of others from there....was A-Ha Norwegian?) and started recording a dozen years ago.  I noticed the band's name on Steven Wilson's label, Kscope, and mistakenly ass-u-me(d) progressive rock and purchased this record which dropped in early April.  My copy has five tracks (most list four) and clocked in at 49 minutes.  One is 12:30 in duration, another is 18:30.  Was I that wrong to guess prog rock?  This is where doing my research post purchase/listen bit me in the ass.  This is art rock.....depressing art rock.......boring art rock....... popping-Quaaludes-like-tic-tacs art rock....



I NEVER get that wasted (anymore).  I don't want to be around people that wasted.  I don't want to listen to depressing music.  So this is where the entire file went...
