Gazpacho's album The Demo 98 is a testament to the Norwegian progressive rock band's early years. Released in 2004, the album features remastered versions of the band's demo recordings from 1998, giving fans a glimpse into the band's early sound and evolution.

The album showcases Gazpacho's unique blend of atmospheric soundscapes, haunting vocals, and intricate instrumentation. From the opening track "Desert Flight," the listener is transported to a world of dreamy melodies and ethereal vocals. The album's standout track, "The Walk," features a mesmerizing guitar riff and soaring vocals that build to a powerful crescendo.

While The Demo 98 may not be as polished as Gazpacho's later releases, it is a fascinating look into the band's musical journey. The raw energy and experimentation on this album set the stage for the band's later success.
