Time for bedlam
In an unexpected move (first single was originally promised not until January 20), the record company publicised today the artwork, release date — April 7, and the first single from Deep Purple’s new album inFinite — Time for Bedlam:
The song will be available as instant grat as part of the digital album preorder as well as on all streaming platforms starting from Thursday, December 15th, midnight worldwide with the physical preorder of the album to start at the same time.
A limited edition EP for Time for bedlam, with non-album songs and unreleased recording will hit the shops on February 3.
A documentary movie, witnessing the songwriting process and the recording of the album with producer Bob Ezrin has been produced, allowing fans to be part of the private band member interactions in the studio. The movie will be included in some editions of the album and it will be presented before release in various fan events worldwide.
Useless, but fun fact: cover image for the album was shot off Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine (Magdalen Islands), in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, Quebec, Canada.
The announcement also includes a quote from Ian Gillan on the meaning of the album’s title and the “Long Goodbye” tour moniker:
If you take it literally you may, quite reasonably, think the ‘Finite’ part of the word describes the life of Deep Purple, with a clear beginning and a nebulous end; but what of the ‘in’ bit? The word infinite is a three-dimensional double edged sword. It describes something that goes on forever in all directions; not unlike its temporal equivalent ‘Eternal’ What’s that all about?
Stephen Hawking declared (in ‘A brief History of Time’) that, before the Big Bang there was nothing. That would put the kybosh on the idea of our universe being Infinite, as he provides a starting point, which is not acceptable to the concept. So, Hawking’s universe in ‘Finite’; by definition; whether he agrees or not.
Ironically, he is quite wrong (scientists always are eventually), therefore the Universe is infinite, which means it will never end, and also means that it never started, and the corollary to that of course is that we don’t exist.
There is a metaphysical solution to all this, but it will have to wait until the tour is over because (thanks heavens) there are only 24 hours in a day (for the time being) or 10 hours in a metric day.
More on that later…
A three-dimensional double edged sword indeed.
Thanks to Andrei Gusenkov for the heads up and Maxim Bylkin for additional info.
SUPERB
December 14th, 2016 at 16:44Too short??
December 14th, 2016 at 16:45Amazing
December 14th, 2016 at 16:48Best track since the Perfect Strangers album. Superb.
December 14th, 2016 at 16:51Wow!!
December 14th, 2016 at 16:55Hmmm ?
December 14th, 2016 at 16:55If thats the single i imagine the best intrumental part in the middle will of been edited like ‘hell to pay’, which had a long version on the album and worked well live as im sure this track will.
December 14th, 2016 at 17:00I loved the new track ! Somehow the guitar lines reminded me of Blackmore ! It’s a good song for sure !
December 14th, 2016 at 17:03Insane! Incredible!
December 14th, 2016 at 17:05I loved it !
December 14th, 2016 at 17:05I am very anxious to hear the rest
Interesting song.. Great artwork!
December 14th, 2016 at 17:12I like this, it’s Purple but different.
December 14th, 2016 at 17:15I read in the ear music page that the song won’t be in the record, but in the february single with b-sides and live versions. Not like Hell to pay, but maybe like The Well-dressed Guitar.
December 14th, 2016 at 17:16Terrific song! But I am not sure if I enjoyed that flanging voice effect in the beginning of the song.
December 14th, 2016 at 17:20it is different,but still has the Purple signature and mark on it.I would have loved even longer to the 6-7 minute,and I’m sure somewhere is an unedited version with Deluxe package that will come out later on.I hope!
December 14th, 2016 at 17:27What an interesting single, nothing like they’ve done before.
December 14th, 2016 at 17:31I approve. 🙂
December 14th, 2016 at 17:37Awesome !!!
December 14th, 2016 at 17:39Like the artwork. Song for me pretty uninspiring. Maybe it needs a few more listens but first impression is that there is nothing here to write home about. Probably just means they will be playing old stuff live on tour again…
December 14th, 2016 at 17:44This is really nothing special… The song is a typical recipe song, similar to dozens of other recent DP songs which follow the same template… No inspiration, just a plain song. They should/could have done better. Instead, they are using DP umbrella to write and record subpar music. Opinions vary. This is mine.
December 14th, 2016 at 17:46Amazing. Great lyrics. ?
December 14th, 2016 at 17:47Well !! A little “….Bedlam” as an early Christmas gift !! Great song,rugged,gritty and lyrically dark.
December 14th, 2016 at 18:04April is a little far off,but,at least we’ve a firm release date.
Now come the myriad marketing machinations to have us buy the album more than once.Deja vu !!
1st listen not bad but to use works such as ‘wow’, ‘amazing’ and best track since perfect strangers album is utterly over the top
December 14th, 2016 at 18:04Liking
December 14th, 2016 at 18:05Very exciting piece. Love it!!!!
December 14th, 2016 at 18:09Very good. Sounds like Deep Purple renewed to my ears and the artwork is also good.
December 14th, 2016 at 18:10Big smile on my face…. (:
December 14th, 2016 at 18:17Always wanted to see the bands recording process also. So another big smile …(:
The guys are going out on top,firing on all cylinders.What a lead track.Finally,some decent artwork for the cover.The Morse era has been lacking in that department.
December 14th, 2016 at 18:20Best artwork since In Rock!
December 14th, 2016 at 18:21Can’t stop smiling. They push the boundaries once again. This sounds superb through big speakers – layer upon layer of sounds. It’s quintessential Deep Purple and yet it’s new and vibrant. They never fail to amaze and astound. Can’t wait for the tour.
December 14th, 2016 at 18:21Hmmm…..on first listen. I’ll give it another bash. Liking the ‘Ship on the Water’ though….??
December 14th, 2016 at 18:26A bit “pictures of Home” in places……
December 14th, 2016 at 18:39simply wonderful ! Love at first sting…kkkk
December 14th, 2016 at 18:42Fantástico
December 14th, 2016 at 18:42Sounds really exciting, darker, harder, fresh and something that will sound even better live
Can’t wait for next November, love this band, always will.
December 14th, 2016 at 18:58Peenk Floydple.
December 14th, 2016 at 19:02I like the mix, guitar on the left, Keyboards on the right. Reminds me a little of the old Martin Birch produced DP records. Good tune & cool artwork.
December 14th, 2016 at 19:13Superb song mmm❤????
December 14th, 2016 at 19:15YYYYEEEEEEOOOOOOUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
This is a really Great Song. Anybody… I mean ANYBODY who has something negative to state about this besides what Andy Thompson @2 stated… “Too Short” is just way too negative a person period. Andy you are correct…. I wanted MORE!!!
BRING IT!!!
Fantastic!!! I must say, from this first tune, I think Stevie is going to finally do a Blackmore Throwdown and give Everybody what they want. “Steve BlackMorse”… HELL YEAH!!
Ch-BeerZ
December 14th, 2016 at 19:19Another keyboard dominated track, great. Interesting lyrics, Hell indeed! Cheers.
December 14th, 2016 at 19:37Or “Things I Never Said”?
December 14th, 2016 at 19:40As with Now What; Infinite sounds like Deep Purple. Reminiscent to the MH era…I can sense Pictures of Home being channeled…with a touch of Spanish Archer.
Good job guys.
December 14th, 2016 at 19:51WAY TO GO!!! DPLECIOUS!!! VERY AWESOME AND CREATIVE ARTWORK!!!
December 14th, 2016 at 19:52A bit reminiscent of Pictures Of Home at times, but what a superb song!
December 14th, 2016 at 19:55Reminds me of “Pictures of home”…!
December 14th, 2016 at 20:00Sounds great!!! Pray it’s not the “finite”!
Horrible song
December 14th, 2016 at 20:19WOW!
December 14th, 2016 at 20:21Gillan wasn’t kidding when he said he was furious again! Love the track, although it sounds like it is the “radio single” cut of it. Can’t wait for the album
December 14th, 2016 at 20:22WOW !! Strong song and stronger words of Ian G.
December 14th, 2016 at 20:23Nice track.
December 14th, 2016 at 20:24Really like it? DEFinitely on the fence with this one. Airey, Morse & Paice seem to be having a ball, but I can see myself skipping this one. & the artwork? Really?? worst since Abandon. To each their own.
December 14th, 2016 at 20:28Great song ??
December 14th, 2016 at 20:29Du pur Purple…
December 14th, 2016 at 20:38RISING STAR 2017
December 14th, 2016 at 20:47Purplemania year
Best album cover in DP’s history.
December 14th, 2016 at 20:54The best part is the ending – without guitar and organ – just Big I Alone – cause it’s a completely different than any other music by DP. I dream about the non-purple album. Still dreaming…
December 14th, 2016 at 20:54Liked the song. Reminds me Spanish Archer. Strong words and a very inspired instrumental part in the mid, Morse and Airey playing same lines … Liked the mix also. The artwork is intelligent, some may not perceive it though. Anxious for the whole album.
December 14th, 2016 at 20:59Why DP have chosen Bob Erzin? The band needs an old school producer like Glyn Johns. This song doesn’t sound like Deep Purple. Overproduced, loud and compressed, incl. cheesy lyrics. The guitar is lost in the mix without a memorable riff.
December 14th, 2016 at 21:02Extreme! fantastic! superb! maximum! whatever. A big thumbs up. Hats off to DP.
December 14th, 2016 at 21:28Can’t wait. …..
December 14th, 2016 at 21:36Both song and artwork are great, the guys are getting better and better 🙂
December 14th, 2016 at 21:46The sound they have achieved with Bob Ezrin is the best they have ever had.
And the artwork is great Jason. IMHO, DP album’s artworks aren’t usually their highlights. So, I’d put this one in the middle, after In Rock, Perfect Strangers, Burn, Stormbringer, ROTD, WDWTWA and TBRO (not in this particular order, of course).
December 14th, 2016 at 21:48Ta!
Fantastica
December 14th, 2016 at 21:50I think so its just a surprise for the fans,but its cut version and the sound quality is quiet bad,so probably we not gonna hear the same track on the album
December 14th, 2016 at 22:02Many purple attributes in it! The lyrics are outstanding! Coolest song since Solitaire! Gillan is King!
December 14th, 2016 at 22:04SWEET!!!!
December 14th, 2016 at 23:46Me gusta, realmente me gusta la cancion!!! Very nice!!!!!
December 15th, 2016 at 00:08If anything this song is very thought-provoking – and unusually dark, almost sinister. The vocals are like a sermon in a church, especially the intro and outro where I instantly thought of a Gregorian chorale. It sounds like the progrock-version of Black Sabbath. IMHO the guitar is a bit too low in the mix in places, otherwise the sound is good. Did I enjoy listening to this track? At the moment the predominant feel is: I don’t know, it’s really strange. What is this thing? What should it be? Is this Deep Purple? I don’t know …
December 15th, 2016 at 00:20phan-tastic! great! stellar! MORE!
December 15th, 2016 at 01:08Love the interplay between Morse and Airey Growling organ and superb Morse Signature Guitar riffage, Timeless Rhythm section and Big Ians voice, particularly the metallic synchronisation SUPERB ! JUST SUPERB! Time for Bedlam?? Bring it on!
December 15th, 2016 at 02:48Thanks DP DELIVERING AGAIN!
Definitely sounds like pictures of Home in the one section. Can’t say I care for that robot voice .Sounds kind of cornball . It reminds me of Dios Magica with the robot voice, always thought that made the Dio CD sound cheap and corny too. Lyrics seem to be trying really hard to be interesting. Others may like it ,I don’t care for it. Look forward to hearing the rest of the album though.
December 15th, 2016 at 03:28Check out “The Society of Rock” website for their very “POSITIVE” view of the upcoming album. They love the song and the cover art.
http://societyofrock.com/huge-news-for-deep-purple-fans-band-releases-new-song-and-artwork-for-upcoming-album/
One thing unsettling is that they state an April release instead of February? WTF?
Ch-BeerZ
December 15th, 2016 at 04:50What Tracy said in 38. Will be listening to this tomorrow a lot..
December 15th, 2016 at 07:12Pictures of Home and Spanish Archer come to mind. Morse is really showing his inner Blackmore which is Great. The Gregorian Chant is Brilliant. I can say without a Doubt that Morse/Airey playing is as Good as Mark 3, a 2016 version if it were possible of course.
December 15th, 2016 at 07:15I really loved it, wonderful through a decent sound system. So sad to contemplate this maybe the first listen to what could be their last batch of materiel. What a band , had tickets for two shows , after hearing this got a bit carried away and booked another, old Purple fool as I am! I see the pictures of home comparisons , no bad thing. Think IG will do the intro and outro vocals superbly live. Cant wait.
December 15th, 2016 at 07:45Super, long live deep purple
December 15th, 2016 at 07:46This is surely what Purple fans want isn’t it? from a band that has sent out “bodyline” “don’t let go” “girls like that” … come on you moaners give them a break this is more like it .. unless of course there are songs like the three I mentioned earlier on the album, then they are gonna get it both barrels . excellent, very good or good but please no filler!
December 15th, 2016 at 08:42Instrumental parts are great ,you could imagine Jon and Ritchie jamming together .. Morse playing some Blackmore’s licks.
December 15th, 2016 at 09:08I’m not fond of the vocals anyway.
Restera dans les mémoires cet album
December 15th, 2016 at 09:10Very very nice … not what I have expected, but very nice and fresh new and hard …
LLRnR
Kraatzy
December 15th, 2016 at 09:26Upon first listen sounds promising let’s hope this is the unedited version, and although Now What was more keyboard orientated as a tribute to the late legendary Jon Lord and rightly so, i hope Steve Morses’s guitar is more evident on the upcoming new album, i am sure to there will be a couple of formats in which to choose the standard, vinyl, deluxe editions that’s the funny thing when Now What was originally released i bought the original album & a few weeks later the 6disc box set with a t-shirt hmmm.
December 15th, 2016 at 10:52Wow!! This is fantastic! If the whole album has this type energy, they will have a winner!
Morse is playing superbly! Cannot wait for the album!
And the album cover image – yes!!..living in Montreal , Quebec – thanks for the nod!!
December 15th, 2016 at 11:00Everything sounds and looks extremity professional so no Mickey Mouse cover or mono sound production.
Looks or sounds like the album has a theme or concept line to it which I truly hate if that’s the case as it kills the element of diversity and fun.
Ian is talking more than singing which is a worrying sign to us but maybe the song itself does not require screaming!!!!
Once again the producer I think will be the winning card for the success of this album just like now what.
Bob has an amazing wealth of experience and can make a song out of sticks and stones
Can’t wait to buy it and thanks for the nice Xmas present DP.
December 15th, 2016 at 11:01Awesome song.. superb arrangement and great solo’s. Keyboards great, Morse playing is ace. 🙂
December 15th, 2016 at 11:10Mario @20
December 15th, 2016 at 11:29There is not much of great music around to compare this effort with. Ian said that DP is becoming more instrumental band and he is right. Listen to this song on a loud speaker and enjoy the struggle of each member trying to have their instrument heard the most and claim supremacy over the other one. It’s more like a fight with instruments. But you right everyone has his own opinion and I respect yours.
DP fan base is growing as polar bears are creeping in among their audience!!!
Well done!
December 15th, 2016 at 12:41“Now What?” was good but a little too mellow overall. This song flat-out ROCKS!!! Can’t wait until 4/7
December 15th, 2016 at 12:58Now that I’ve heard it a few times I started to like it – still unlike their classic material from back in the day which didn’t need multiple runs but it’s ok. My oberservation is that with the current lineup’s songs it’s very often the case that I’ve to listen a few times to dig it. It’s not so much the proggy influence because as a fan of Emerson, Lake & Palmer I’m used to that. Maybe it’s the Airey/Morse songwriting combo which I find a bit hard to get used to, at least their solo stuff is more accessible to me. Also I kind of hear a little bit of “Pictures of home” in this song as well as it reminds me of something from the “Rapture of the deep” album. I’m looking forward to the album, I think it’ll be interesting.
December 15th, 2016 at 13:17Freakin’ Awesome! This is one of the best song / tunes (for me) from D.P. in at least a decade!! Can’t wait untill the release of the full album.
December 15th, 2016 at 13:33First time you can really tell this was produced by Bob Ezrin, because the guy also produced this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI5BrZhKNUM (so the robotized voice bookends certainly were his idea in both cases)
I like the cover a lot (the icebreaker “drawing” something into the ice that can either be read as “dp” or the infinity sign), their most clever cover idea since Purpendicular.
December 15th, 2016 at 13:58Very impressed, fantastic job.My favourite dince 1974
December 15th, 2016 at 13:59My favourite band since 1974
December 15th, 2016 at 14:00Dark Purple.
December 15th, 2016 at 14:54Classic vibe! I enjoy their ‘natural’ sound rather than trying to squeeze out a ‘hit’ single like Hell to Pay.
My only gripe is that the guitar seems a little low.
A welcome Christmas gift and the album is released on my birthday!
2017 is gonna be good.
December 15th, 2016 at 15:10🙂
Mean Streak/Spanish Archer?????
December 15th, 2016 at 15:50Rockin’ Tune after the opening. Music is great. Jury still out on the lyrics but they flow well with the tune and are a little Floydesque. And I don’t think that they stole it, or maybe they don’t even know of it unless it is just a tip o’ the hat, but every time Ian sings “See you in Hell” I can’t help but hear Spinal Tap singing “Warmer Than Hell”. Uncanny………….
December 15th, 2016 at 15:58At last a “we want Blackmore back” track!!!Yeahhhhh.Honoring the tradition!
December 15th, 2016 at 16:41Love the lyrics. Thank you Ian, I’m guessing it’s all him. Perhaps a final lesson in the last recording session? Nevertheless I’m grateful for the perspective. Oh, the music ain’t bad either!
December 15th, 2016 at 17:08@20, it’s better to just tell us what’s on or above par than to rate this below, but you cannot be productive. It sure as hell beats Rainbow’s Night not even adding a sliver of anything new to the oldies, playing poorly with a goon squad from hell.
December 15th, 2016 at 18:24@19, once again I yawn at the yawning. Yeah I see them playing three songs from this and dropping them within three gigs. Blimey
December 15th, 2016 at 18:25@13, it’s on the album. An EP with it and some songs that won’t be on the album gets released Feb 3rd. Nothing “live” will be on that. The documentary film that will be included with some versions of the album might not sound like anything special to some, but I’d bet tons more like the idea. It doesn’t appear to be just some 20 minute piece.
December 15th, 2016 at 18:30Roy @32
December 15th, 2016 at 18:45Joeggar @43
Spot on it does sound a bit like picture of home mixed with the Spanish archer
I guess the guys will sue themselves for plagiarism!!!
@49 really ? worst artwork since Abandon!!
I thought this is one of the best artwork since forever.The last one was lousy and didn’t care much,this is appealing and finally with some art on it.But to each his own I guess.I mnot really a big fan of the spoken digitilized Gillan words but I guess Gillan is settled on this way of singing and register with the age.I hope for a an album version of the song,kind of Hell To pay version.
December 15th, 2016 at 18:59Love it ???? can’t wait to hear the album.
December 15th, 2016 at 19:14I like the song,and i really like Big Ian’s words…The artwork? Classy! Morse and Airey is as they always are,top notch,even Paicey has woken up a bit on this track.
December 15th, 2016 at 20:09No words to describe it, they are the best.
December 15th, 2016 at 21:30we are ready!
December 15th, 2016 at 21:34I like it even if it does remind me a bit of Pictures of Home. Hope the rest of the new album is as good.
December 15th, 2016 at 21:41I like the political edginess of the track. Rock and roll needs to start speaking out about what’s happening in our world today.
December 15th, 2016 at 22:12Absolutely sensational!I’ve waited years for a track like this,this could have come from In Rock,with everyone on fire,what a glorious,intense sound!Retirement?I don’t think so,they’re having far too much fun!Don’t believe a word of it!
December 15th, 2016 at 23:10Yes! Is sound like the same progressive rock direction that worked so well on Now What?!
December 16th, 2016 at 05:13Not the purple i have grown to love and respect. mystic mantra nacarcissim is not exactly my idea of a well honed track. No one came from miles around… man your music is really corny.
December 16th, 2016 at 06:59Gillans voice weak, Morse always the same so..the key for a great album is DON AIREY…he plays like LORD in the 70s live…he plays so good… like never Jon Lord played after 1984…
December 16th, 2016 at 12:16I continue to get a kick out of individual opinions which, at the end of the day, mean nothing in the Grand Scheme. Opinions are like arse-holes, everybody has one…..
April 7th can’t come soon enough….
Peace,
Ted :>
December 16th, 2016 at 15:07Floydian Machine House Of Blue What?! Project. It’s a real icebreaker. As I predicted, it sounds like the previous album… just more of the same. I guess when you’ve found a winning formula, you stick to it. So the boys have kicked the Heep’s ass yet again. Oh, & yes, of course I LOVE IT!. 🙂 Be happy.
December 16th, 2016 at 15:28Love the way Morse surrounds the vocals and Airey takes care of the middle. I think a live video would make this song even more exciting as Airey style adds to the creepiness and Glover and Paice really rock the rhythm….I love the song. Just wonder what Bob E. does to muffle the vocals a bit. Love the fact that Gillan puts everything into the song as well.
December 17th, 2016 at 01:31O YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!
December 17th, 2016 at 07:50Sound is great, Bob again does a good job
DP classic song, eternal duels guitar and keyboards .Gillan’s voice, lyrics, song is good, … “mucho good”
Soul seventies, packed in the new century
Deep Purple for The 21st century
This is a much better track to promote the album than was All The Time and Hell To Pay for Now What.
December 17th, 2016 at 17:28It sounds progressive and heavy at the same time and less commercial.
Very intruiging lyrics. Much ‘Gillan oriented’ atmosphere.
Songs like Strangeways and Weirdistan come to in my mind.
If all of the tracks could be in the same vein it will be a killer album.
(Deep Purple lover I was 14 years old. I am now 61.)
Don Airey really shines on this track! And I love the album artwork; it would look fantastic as a vinyl release.
December 17th, 2016 at 20:04love it. put it today in the headphones and just enjoy it.
December 18th, 2016 at 07:23Nice, very nice. This old guys do this work better. Long live Deep Purple!!!!!Wow
December 18th, 2016 at 11:40I cannot stop playing this song and humming it in my head,great lyrics,great tempo,great arrangements by a world class producer,getting all the best snippets and pushing the band to their best.I cannot wait for the album and I Hope that he has an darker and heavy edge throughout,at least that is what Roger had said,the albums is heavier!!I am loving it already more than Now what?! which is a great album by the way!! lol I know the band will complete a trinity of albums with Bob Ezrin! i hate to compare but it is in the same vein as Picture Of Home,but still different.Who doesn’t like this song should get their head checked and go back to the shitty rock we have nowadays.God Bless Deep Purple!!
December 18th, 2016 at 17:09Agree with Ted @114. Opinions vary, but after just two hearings expectations for the album just soared, and all of sudden April seems hell of a long way off. Cheers.
December 18th, 2016 at 22:24Ted @114
Your opinion stinks. Did you have a curry last night?
December 19th, 2016 at 11:59The band is relying heavily on the commercial success to dampen down any stinking opinions.
Now What was a great commercial success but not a single song on it did make a great live song on stage and that’s not a opinion it’s a fact from the fans reactions.
I wish I could say I respect your opinion but I can’t respect stinking holes.
Now that’s what you call a teaser!
Roll on April 7th!
December 19th, 2016 at 23:14This is not Deep Purple. This is some kind of gregorian stuff. Great disappointment!!! Please back to the roots – In Rock. But Now is too late. What a pity!
December 20th, 2016 at 00:03@ 113 so there you go,critique ? Mr Obvious! weak?? the guy is 71yo for Pete’s sake!! Morse in this particular tune sounds more of Blackmore/Gilmour style of playing than the his usual style.But hey to each his own,people will always say something ,like Gillan what will say Now what??!
December 20th, 2016 at 15:49Like #68 (Rony , from Belgium) said .. : “If all of the tracks could be in the same vein it will be a killer album.” … I also want it
December 22nd, 2016 at 02:14zoran @ 126 (and Adel @ anything) – you both need a new set of ears, and some grey matter. Laughable stuff. I just don’t get you. If you want “In Rock” then play it (as I have this week), it is probably the one album that got most of us to this forum and we love it, but to hanker for the old days is nonsense, it has to evolve, change and develop but stay true to those roots. That’s difficult when two of those original members are no longer in the line up but, in my view and the vast majority of fans (who LOVE the Now What songs live!!!!) who continue to attend, they are doing a fabulous job. If you want same old/same old try AC/DC. Happy Xmas, Cheers.
December 23rd, 2016 at 16:35Blah Blah Blah… All about 1 teaser track! LOL!
DP still rocks, no matter what this album sounds like. And I for one don’t want a repeat of the same old music. Yes sometimes it fails but I would rather hear something different then In Rock 2 or MH 2 or DP 2. Alice Copper tried to copy himself a couple of years ago with Welcome 2 My Nightmare. A big disappointment with Bob Ezrin!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
December 23rd, 2016 at 17:07If I put it like this: I could not get my back hair to lay down. The song made me cry of joy and of sadness…..they are quitting. There will be an end. I was not prepared….
December 23rd, 2016 at 18:14Nice ditty.
Wise move to mix down the guitar.
Gillan though while having the advantage of a studio enhancement factor sounds weak.
Is this the first time Roger does a vocal?
Originally I thought Place in Line was the song he provided vocals for.
I hope the final song is longer than this and that this is just a teaser.
Otherwise it would be a sin like they did with Sun Goes Down.
Oh well…….
Merry x mas et all everybody
Cheers from mister Humbug

At first I couldn’t discern it from it being a jam out of pictures of home…
December 31st, 2016 at 21:47Is Deep Purple ever again going to record a rock album? Just like The Rolling Stones have just published Blue and Lonesome paying hommage to the blues they played when they were a true band, it would be good to see DP publishing a true rock album. You know what I mean: Maybe I’m a Leo, Never Before, Space Truckin’, Lazy, Bloodsucker, Demon’s Eye, Perfect Strangers… I don’t need another Smoke on the Water or Highway Star, but come on, some good old rock and roll from a band that excelled on this… It would be fine. I guess they don’t want to play rock, now they love more playing progressive and pop.
January 2nd, 2017 at 19:53In fact, they have shown they can do it, even now after all these years. Remember “It’ll be me”? How can this song be a B-side? Give me a dozen like this and what we will have is an amazing old-school LP of 40 minutes.
January 2nd, 2017 at 21:10The Deep Purple On Ice Tour!. Lol.
January 4th, 2017 at 07:07perfecttttttt!!!!!!!!!
January 8th, 2017 at 20:41Sorry but the sound quality is awful. I hope the album will sound better, but my hopes are low. I want to hear the instruments properly, not the compressors taking Paicey’s cymbals up and down in the mix!!! Ear fatigue.
February 15th, 2017 at 16:26He crecido con vosotros y mi sangre es purpulina,gracias por todo vuestro medio siglo entregados a los escenarios y el gran esfuerzo de vuestros albunes que me han llenado el alma.
