8-bit Purple
This collection of little ditties is presented to your by our semi-irregular Weird Covers column.
It is available through Apple Music and probably some other digital vendors.
The evil demon sitting on my shoulder is whispering that this is just a bunch of midi files plunked off them old interwebs and rendered in appropriate style. Shush, little devil, shush!
Thanks to Matman for the heads up.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
This is great …somehow , I can see some sort of Deep Purple rave in the 90s , where they’re playing all these

I prefer more organic versions, done in immaculate taste and with best intentions.

June 4th, 2021 at 03:51I can’t imagine that any real DP fan is waiting for something like this.
This dosn’t sound like DP at all.
On second or third listen, it’s actually quite amusing/revealing as it really condenses the DP melodies to a bare-bones-minimalism. Kind of explains how some of DP’s songs are “engineered” – not a put-down, as a Deutscher (and son of a construction engineer) I always found the obvious ‘Ingenieurwesen’ in Purple’s music appealing. I missed that in Led Zep for instance, the components and construction weren’t as clear.

June 5th, 2021 at 05:23Thanks to late 80s/early 90s production quality, the S&M era songs sound like they were meant for this format. ð€£
