FIREWORKER

This album is a return to form by Gazpacho after two somewhat mediocre albums like Molok and Soyuz. It's their best album since Demon, and a step in the right direction for a band with great albums in their discography (Night, Tick Tock, March of Ghosts, Demon). It's almost 20 years for Gazpacho of making splendid music. This album grows on you and is a pleasant twist to their traditional atmospheric sounds, which are in full force in this one. The highlight of the album is "Space Cowboy," which is a masterwork, to put it plainly, while the smaller songs ("Hourglass", "Fireworker", and "Antique") fit greatly with the two longer songs. The final epic is called "Sapien", which a great tranquil song to end what is overall a great album. A solid 4.5 for me.
