GAZPACHO - When Earth Lets Go (LP)

Formed in Oslo in 1996 by childhood friends Jon-Arne Vilbo and Thomas Andersen along with Jan-Henrik Ohme (later joined by Mikael Kromer, Robert R Johansen and Kristian Torp), Gazpacho have honed their unique sound over a string of critically acclaimed albums and numerous tours, including several with long-time supporters Marillion.



Albums and tours, the internet and word-of-mouth praise that has greeted them, have helped the band build a substantial international fan base.



While still an independent band, the band were contacted by producer Steve Lyon (Depeche Mode, The Cure, Paradise Lost, Reamonn, etc). This ended up as a collaboration on one of the tracks featured on the album, Substitute for Murder. There has been a debate among fans as to which version is actually better, the Steve Lyon version or the Gazpacho's own production. When Earth Lets Go, originally released in 2004, sees the band joined by drummer Robert Johansen, and has them take the step from being a "studio band" to a "live band".



When Earth Lets Go is seen by many as a rougher edged album than Bravo, a direction Gazpacho wanted to take without repeating themselves. When Earth Lets Go is now available for the first time on single LP.
