One Eye on Alta Tensao
António Freitas, host of long-running daily show “Alta Tensao” on Portuguese radio station Antena 3 and a contributor to the magazine LOUD!, has posted an interview he conducted with Gillan. Big Ian talks about One Eye To Morocco. The interview is in English and you can view the it at antoniofreitas.com (clip is right on the front page so far, look under “Hypertensão: entrevistas (interviews)”; and no, I have no idea how to turn off the annoying background broadcast). Stop the “Alta Tensão/RTP Antena 3 : Emissões” player on the right to turn off the background music (thanks to 69).
The interview is actually quite entertaining and at the end Ian gets talking about the state of the new Purple recording and into some hilarious anecdotage.
Thanks to Mike Garrett for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
“and no, I have no idea how to turn off the annoying background broadcast)”
The player for that one is playing right on the right hand side on the player that hosts the interview, just turn that one off. Everything else belongs to the video itself.
March 5th, 2009 at 00:34This is worth watching just for Ian´s Ace Of Spades impression at 17:33! 🙂
March 5th, 2009 at 00:55Better than watching a late YT clip, his voice is in fine shape for interviewing.
March 5th, 2009 at 09:28It sounds like we should not expect a new Purple studio album in 2009.
March 5th, 2009 at 12:35Yes, not very positive about a new studio album. Rog has said to a gig reviewer over at DPAS that they have no plans for a new album yet, but maybe a live record… So it sounds like there is’nt much enthusiasm re a new album at this point. Only IG wants to hit the studio now…
March 5th, 2009 at 14:41The live record thing is likely either to be from Isreal or the recent European tour, probably a German show, or even the most recent London show, but we’re talking DVD here as well. Maybe only on DVD. Remember, it was translated from a German asked question and these things are so often confused.

Do you see any value in another live album? We had the Montreux 2006 recorded yet on the Rapture Tour… So I suppose we would be presented to Mk8 versions of The Battle Rages On, Wring that Neck and Into The fire, if so, and the rest of the album should be more of the same. Is it rally more valuable or feasible than a Brand new album? Before some say “If you don´t want, don´t buy it, jerk!” , I am just trying to understand the decision. I can´t see this “Live 2009” will sell better
March 5th, 2009 at 21:00than a New Album, and they don´t need it to keep on touring. I would suggest: go into the studio, put down some good 38 minutes (7, 8 tracks) of heavy rockin´music (I´ve read this somewhere back in past) and show them on stage. Could it work again?
#7 George : Nice trailer, but too short ….. 🙂
March 5th, 2009 at 21:44I agree with Fernando.I certainly have no pressing need for another live CD or DVD from the Rapture tour.
March 5th, 2009 at 22:29With the initial buzz over the Stormbringer 35th remaster and the promise of yet more archival DVD stuff in June,you would think that the current DP would seize the moment and give us some fresh music.Instead,Ian G says the band is “…off it’s food…” as far as a new album is concerned,not yet knowing when,where,or with whom (producer)they wish to make it.
To borrow the title of the Purpendicular bonus track….Don’t Hold Your Breath !!
From what I got out of the interview pertaining to Purple recording a new album, I think a certain member or members of the band don’t want Michael Bradford producing the next one.
March 6th, 2009 at 01:09Bingo, can’t say I disagree.

March 6th, 2009 at 09:36could not get past the screaming tune in the back ground–I will take others on their word.

Thanks nsoveiko !!!
March 7th, 2009 at 12:27bleh… another live album? they have released 34 Live albums and 14 DVDs.
March 8th, 2009 at 13:18Time to release next STUDIO album…
but if they think about Live cd, what about releasing ULTIMATE LIVE COMPILATION 2CD of MkVIII from Bananas&Rapture Tours, combining the songs from Bananas & Rapture, which they played live, + 5-6 hits. It would be great…
Well, I don’t think another Live Dvd should be a good idea, Live In Caesarea (israel) is coming so (i think) it’s enough.
March 8th, 2009 at 14:5734 live albums, Deep Purple?
George, what are you smoking?
Perhaps you’d better look again at such things, their name on it doesn’t always mean they released it… you’re missing something huge there. So “they” have released nowhere near that many live albums.
You figure concerning DVD’s also doesn’t count as all their projects either, only some of them.(forget about compilations and archive releases, they have nothing to do with them, as you know, they’re put out by other parties/companies than their own)

March 11th, 2009 at 14:56Only a handful are Deep Purple releases, the rest are not. You should very well know that much. You can’t attribute these releases to them, they did none of the work to put them out, so it’s irrelevant to mention them concerning the anticipation of a Deep Purple release… We were talking about future projected output by the band itself, were we not?
