NIGHT

Night is truly an astonishing work. Gazpacho managed to handle emotion and soul with strength and professionalism flawlessly in their fourth, and most critically acclaimed, album. Featuring five tracks that flow from one to the other and have very different song lengths, this work's main objective is to set the listener into a trance of emotions.

Dream Of Stone is the first, and longest, track of the album. It has a repetitive guitar line that sets you in the album's mood, and Ohme's vocals help give the track a memorable melody that will stick with you. Chequered Light Buildings is a beautiful interlude that works as a bridge between Dream Of Stone and Upside Down, it has an amazing chorus.

Upside Down is probably the best track of the album, it has heavy Radiohead influence with a hint of Coldplay, it has a soulful guitar solo around the middle and the ending has some amazing and chill-worthy violin work. Valerie's Friend is yet another bridge, this time between Upside Down and Massive Illusion. It's my least favorite track from the album, but it still accomplishes its purpose.

Massive Illusion is the other track that passes the ten minute mark, and it truly ends the album with a high note. The ending to be specific, is without a doubt the best section of the album. Very emotional and mellow, Massive Illusion manages its purpose flawlessly.

Night is without a doubt my favorite album by Gazpacho, and one of my favorite modern prog albums. I truly recommend this to anyone who likes emotional prog. Five Stars.
