And now? - It goes on

In the now 8-band configuration is played after the death of John Lord with Now What ?! the now 19th studio album and the third one without John Lord, which the band that also devoted equal. Since I stay relevant music trade press rather remote I now read in Wikipedia that the SWR4 has Depp Purple here "produces a new milestone in rock music". Good thing I had all read only when I had the album anyway by heard before and could so without great expectations for the album that with two black discs in gatefold comes along, go.

And it also gave the album itself, as with "A Simple Song" the first track started off I was a little surprised about the peace (and the rather silent recording the LP itself, so I amplifier same time a few steps higher than normally turned up) that aired the song. First, the third track "Out Of Hand" wanted me so correctly with its riffs. Technically unfortunately occurred to me in the first three tracks negatively to that in the louder passages the voice of Ian Gillan like lost time goes. However, one has the feeling that this problem lays with the progress of the track numbers and the picture always homogeneous assembles. Fact is, you can hear the men of Deep Purple in each title the joy of playing and it imposes itself on never suspect that someone here probably needed someone money. Under the musical depth has me "Blood From A Stone" most affected and represents one of the highlights of the album for me is.

Generally, I can sound in the history of Deep Purple is not classified as the only other albums the "Deep Purple in Rock" are I own "The Book of Taliesyn" and. In comparison, the new album looks adult, but in no case less experimental. Game Technically, the musicians are sure to be on another high point of their work, perhaps may lie by the previously mentioned enthusiasm. Producer Bob Ezrin has definitely made a great decision, the musicians to send into the studio. All around a strong album with many good riffs and unfortunately felt little organ-Action.

Finally, the question of the "Equipment" what you could expect from a double LP which bummelige four euros on the price of the limited edition CD is what is the tracklisting identical in content. In some places more, in some less unfortunately. The gatefold cover came with me (by mail), unfortunately, the same easily punctured on top at the edge of the cover, the vinyl tried out a little push. The same, however, does not necessarily offer course in printed sleeves, which are nicely decorated in the rest of the highlight. I push the damage to the postal service, which I hereby also like to say that this is the first LP that are damaged with me arrived. Overall, however, the cover is simply decorated and appealing. Although the board could be thicker, at least find in addition to the unfed Papiersleeves still spare sleeves without problems place. The pressing quality of the two discs is clearly in fine, although I could have a, notice two clicks on the first page, but this would push the rather poor Knosti-laundering.

I can round the album, though perhaps not completely recommend also of the mix at the highest level. For felt little money there varied Deep Purple- rock your ears and let's be honest, when properly rock has to be right and the feeling is more important than the mix.

And for those who are interested, that fully captured WAV file has a Dynamic Range value of 14 wuhuu!
