Yup, that was really good!

Never heard of them before. From wikepidia:
Gazpacho's music has been described by one critic as being "classical post ambient nocturnal atmospheric neo-progressive folk world rock".[1] The music has been compared to A-ha, Radiohead, Marillion and Porcupine Tree.[2]

No wonder I like them :)

It's funny, I thought I knew them well for some time, because I guess I associated the band's name with the song "Gazpacho" by Marillion off their album "Afraid of Sunlight".
But no, I first listened to them just last year, listened to the "Molok" album which is very good. Will dive more into their discography.

Oh, well... just after writing this lines, I thought let's read more off their wiki page, here's what I found:
"All three members of Gazpacho were involved with the Scandinavian branch of Marillion's The Web fanclub.[4] This led to Ohme being invited to sing the Marillion track Afraid Of Sunlight at the Swap The Band show of the first Marillion Convention Weekend.[5][6] At this convention the band handed out free four-track promos called Get It While It's Cold[7] to anyone interested. These promos also found their way to several internet magazines which gave the band almost unanimous acclaim[8][9][10] with one reviewer calling the music expertly-crafted and truly inventive."

So this is how they started, and after that, they started supporting Marillion on their live tours, and now I remember clearly that I know them related to Marillion from back when they started.

New Dave Kerzner video "Dirty Soap Box" featuring Steve Hackett and Nick D'Virgilio
Wow, the first 30 seconds does sound like starting a Gabriel/Hackett Genesis album. Also around the 5 minute when he starts the vocals it reminds me of Gabriel like structure, something from The Lamb on Broadway !
