Deep Purple

Rock · 1969 · 6 tracks

Deep Purple

A transitional fusion of baroque ambition and psychedelic blues. Heavy Hammond organ and tribal percussion meet twelve-minute orchestral suites.

Before they were the kings of hard rock, they were a weird, brilliant art-rock band with a massive organ sound.

A sophisticated, slightly eerie blend of classical ambition and late-sixties psychedelic melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden shift from pastoral woodwinds to a heavy rock groove in the final third of April.

The frantic, polyrhythmic drum intro of Chasing Shadows that feels like a heartbeat in a panic.

Jon Lord's harpsichord-inflected solo on Blind that bridges the gap between classical and psych-rock.
