Gazpacho - Missa Atropos

Review by Michael DiMella

Gazpacho's album "Missa Atropos" is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece that showcases the band's prowess in creating atmospheric and emotionally charged music. The album is a conceptual piece that tells a story of a man's journey through life and death, and the themes of mortality, loss, and acceptance are explored throughout the tracks.

The band's signature sound of lush and intricate arrangements, coupled with Jan-Henrik Ohme's mesmerizing vocals, creates a sense of otherworldliness and draws the listener into the story. The use of orchestral elements and subtle electronic textures adds depth and richness to the sound, creating a sonic landscape that is both ethereal and grounded.

The album's standout tracks include "Mass for Atropos," "Defense Mechanism," and "Vera." The former is a stunning choral piece that captures the essence of the album's concept, while the latter two are more upbeat and dynamic, showcasing the band's ability to create complex and engaging compositions.

Utter masterpiece. This album is something very special.

Gazpacho is a band that divides the listener circle even within Crossover Prog due to not always ambitious music, calmer textures and flirting with pop. The band have their undisputable qualities in their vocals, compositional skills and production work.I don't know how one of their CDs ended up in my collection and despite my skepticism, it has grown on me after several listens.The vocal has something melancholic but warm in its colour, instruments are played professionally and with emotions as witnessed in "Defense Mechanism". Keyboards in their music have ranged from multitude of synths, piano to organ, here we have a fitting electric piano in the background. "I was never here" has a light, reflective feeling with soothing vocals, subtle guitars and electric piano. "River mass for antropos 2" has a dark, disappointed spirit and great, epic-like chords, is one of the most progressive parts. "Splendid isolation" has a good cresciendo with a bit repetitive motive.Even after several listens, I can't discern songs that much and can't concentrate purely on music, it is more of a background soothing music with its quality.
