Biography

Editorial Reviews

Twenty-eight years after the band's inception, Deep Purple venture into the most adventurous album of their storied career. With guitar virtuoso Steve Morse, of ex-Dixie Dregs and Kansas fame, replacing the legendary Ritchie Blackmore (his second departure from the band), fans get the breadth of Morse's influences. The scope of the music goes into uncharted beats like the finger-snapping "Hey Ciso" and "Rosa's Cantina," and the acoustic-flavored Scottish highlander feel of "The Aviator." "Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming" is one of their best songs in years, beginning with a soft acoustic intro before being rocked up to the turbo-charged chorus full of lyrical wit. "A Touch Away" introduces fans to the band's first true ballad, a lovely piece of acoustic summertime fare. Glen Miller, All Music Guide

December 10, 2002: This album was a critical one for Purple. If this flopped, so would the band. They released a great album though, with mezmorising songs and ballads. The best guitar is played in "A Touch Away", and Glover shows off his bass in "Vavoom: Ted the Machine". Gillian is perfect on vocals and sounds happier than ever. Great album.
