Slaves and Masters

Deep Purple

A polished, melodic pivot where the legendary hard rock quintet adopts a slick 1990s radio-ready sheen. Deep Purple meets the melodic sensibilities of Rainbow.

It's the Deep Purple album that sounds like the best Rainbow record they never made.

A slick, nocturnal confidence mixed with the polished melancholy of early 90s arena rock.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the synthesizers swell into the chorus of King of Dreams, signaling a total shift toward melodic arena rock.
Ritchie Blackmore's sharp, bluesy solo on Fire in the Basement that briefly recalls the band's 70s fire.
The moody, atmospheric keyboard intro of Wicked Ways that builds into a driving, cinematic finale.
