had a more experimental approach than previous albums. The arrangement to “The Aviator”, for example, employed an acoustic folk/country arrangement that had not been heard on the band’s previous work. Several of the songs, such as “Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic” featured smaller keyboard parts, and mainly center on the guitar parts. Another new addition to the guitar playing was the use of pinch harmonics, very notably used on “Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic” and “Somebody Stole My Guitar”. “Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming” and “Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic” remained regular features in Deep Purple’s live setlist in recent tours.

Deep Purple

Lineup changes are nothing new to Deep Purple, yet the band has managed to create high-quality material regardless of who is in the group. The classic personnel are intact here, with the exception of Ritchie Blackmore, who has been replaced by ex-Dixie Dregs and Kansas guitarist Steve Morse. It is the addition of Morse that takes the band into uncharted territory.
The shredding opening licks of “”Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic”” show Morse’s immediate influence. The song has a fantastic bass groove, courtesy of Roger Glover. The atmospheric and melodic “”Loosen My Strings””, with its piano background, is a beautiful tune. Melody is an integral part of PURPENDICULAR in such songs as “”A Touch Away”” (a touching ballad) and “”The Aviator””. On “”Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming””, vocalist Ian Gillan does just that, unleashing his trademark wail. “”Soon Forgotten”” showcases Jon Lord’s formidable Hammond bashing, while “”Somebody Stole My Guitar”” shows what Mr. Morse can do. PURPENDICULAR is an adventurous outing that explores some new directions for the band.
=============================================
5.0 out of 5 stars A great album,
This album is the best since Purple reformed in 1984. The diversity of the songs and the playing, is magnificent.
Interestingly the songs appear more complete and perhaps this has something to do with the new found harmony in the band. It was obvious that Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Gillan were poles apart. So the introduction of guitar maestro Steve Morse as replacement for the then recently departed Ritchie (who subsequently would launch Blackmore’s Night), was a masterstroke.

Steve’s playing is sensational. “”Sometimes I feel like screaming”” is superb and is Purple at the magnificent best.

Seeing this new line-up of Gillan-Glover-Lord-Paice-Morse live, it was clear that there was more camaraderie and more togetherness.

This is a must buy album.

5.0 out of 5 stars VAVOOM !!!
It’s high time people out there stopped comparing this album to previous DP offerings. The band moved on a long time ago and this album should be judged on its own merits – it is superb. Ted is a lesson to all the newer rock bands out there, as is Rosa’s Canteen. And how about Aviator? Hey Cisco really proves what this band is about. The whole album shows what real talent can do for the music world – Jon Lord is the supreme keyboard master; Ian Gillan uses his voice more than efficiently as an additional instrument; Roger Glover proves just how musical and diverse a bass can be; Ian Paice is a master of drums and Steve Morse plays the keenest guitar around. And hey – it must be good – Ted and Cisco have found their way into the regular live playlist.
