Deep Purple (Official Thread)

I really like the new album, I am 3 quarters way through it and it is excellent, it will get better with more listens I am sure. Great work from the band, sounds modern with that classic edge

 

[Nololob]

I agree, it is a great album and I'm glad they did it. Something fresh and proud of to be presented live with a mixture with their old classics.

 

[Marbles]

I still haven't changed my opinion of it - I keep coming back to it and have no hint of growing tired of it. It's a really fresh album and well mixed.

One of my favourite tracks is "It'll Be Me", which I often play standalone, when I don't have time to listen to the whole album. I always loved the RnR classics that used to appear in the encores, either in their entirety or as part of a medley - half the fun was trying to work out what they were, from just a few lines (I never did get them all every time). I'm sure that on many occasions it was IG that led the band into some of his favourites and RB & JL were always consummately professional enough to be able to play along.

I think it was on the "House of Blue Light" tour that IG did a couple of verses of "Running Bear" during the medley, which was a particular favourite.

I wouldn't object if Purple did a whole album of rock 'n roll standards, with their own twist!

Has anyone listened to the vinyl version of the new DP album??

 

[Nololob]

The question you need to ask LG is.... has anyone bought the vinyl copy of the new album?

 

[LG]

^^I've seen it, picked it up and looked at it, but there are quite a few other albums ahead of it on my list.

I've got a digital copy so I'll listen to it when I have the time. I'm more likely to buy one of the Old albums that's been reissued on 180 gram vinyl than the new one.

Same way I feel about the album. Never gets boring at all and is something any DP fan should check out.

^ That's scary.

Rhino does a quality job of most of their releases, would love to see the same package released on new 180 gram vinyl, Burn and Machine Head are both available but I haven't seen any of the others.
