On March 15, 2009 the 5th studio album of Gazpacho Official (the Norwegian band) Tick Tock was released. The album is based on the story of French writer and navigator Antoine de Saint-Exupery who took off in an attempt at a long distance flight from Paris to Saigon (1935). He crashed in the Desert many hours later stranded with his co pilot. Later he recounted his experience in a book called Wind, Sand and Stars and this story forms the basis of the Tick Tock album. The metaphor of a desert walk represented by a ticking clock may not be sublime but by golly the music is in moments. The apathetic underscore of a sweltering almost synthy loop which really is a b4 organ played through a guitar amp and a sequencer brings at first hesitation then desperation then more hesitation and then something happens and you get sucked into a glassy mood. Almost as if you were walking a long and lonely walk in the desert where there is only you, the stars, wind and sand, the sound of your footsteps softened by the burning sand and heard only through the bones of the body. So heres the epic title track, all 22 minutes of it out here. Enjoy and relive the experience. - DC https://youtube/watch?v=scv0GOemKKI
