InFinite [2LP+DVD] [VINYL] 45RPM LP

Deep Purple - like fine wine. Superb musicianship and great tunes.

Brilliant album. In my opinion this is Deep Purple album getting back to their best. The live bonus CD included in this edition is brilliant. A must have.

Infinite LP - Must be played at 45 RPM.....Not 33 RPM!! **************************************************************** Having advised of the little known fact that you have to play this LP at 45 RPM and NOT 33 RPM I'll proceed with my review, as follows:- To follow-up the album 'Now What'?! was always going to be tricky to put it mildly - that being my favourite Deep Purple album after rapture of the Deep (and, yes, I do have 'In Rock','Fireball', and 'Machine Head' in fact I have them all before you ask). To compare albums from the previous to the current or to those produced in years gone bye is a waste of time really as being the current album it needs to be appreciated as just that and all previous work by any band / artist is surely judged 'at the time' and on its own merits is it not? Therefore, InFinite, in my opinion deserves 4 stars (not 5) as the compositions are not all of the same high standard in their musicality - I overlook/ignore the cover version of 'Road House Blues' here as, to me, this track is irrelevant to the album and to me appears like a studio 'warm-up' track and not one worthy of appearing on an album unless it is (as they do now) a 'bonus track' - it's laughable really that we are expected to take this one seriously - you should have left well alone guys and allow the original to state its case (by The Doors of course). The rest of the album to me is just pure class and, having seen the documentary already on the SKY channel we also must pay respect and tribute to the production work of Mr Ezrin - surely a master in the studio? I love the guitar work of Steve Morse and, to me, Ian Gillan's voice is just as awesome as ever. As music lovers and fans of this fantastic band I believe we are truly fortunate to savour yet another new album from 'The Guys'. I just can't wait to see them 'live' this year and of course we all hope (like hell!!) that there is still more to come.............. Don't forget - play this LP at 45 RPM and...............ENJOY, don't compare!!! TTFN Mr ASH

Great album

Exceeded expectations. I really like the previous album and for some reason thought this would not reach the heights. The album is great fun, a wonderful sound and a such vibrancy throughout. I had heard a few tracks before release and wasn't particularly moved. It is such a difference sitting down and listening to this properly in full. So far away from the abandon/bananas albums as there is just much more life to it. People have panned the Roadhouse blues selection, but it puts a smile on your face, and at the end of the day, that's what it is mainly about. Great times ahead getting to know this record. Give me a pint of what Gillan is drinking.

I've always loved purple in all it's incantations + yet they still have more ideas.well done + a ex live one as well.

Been a fan of deep purple for along time their albums may be losing the same energy but ain't we all.

Thist latest album from Deep Purple comes about 4 years after the release of their previous album Now What. That album was absolutely fantastic and arguably the best Deep Purple album since their 1980's reunion. This one is not quite as good however and for me there are only three very strong tracks such as Time For Bedlam, All I Got Is You and Birds Of Prey and some pretty good tracks in Johnny's Band , The Surprising and One Night In Vegas. Overall I feel that this album is slightly a step back from the excellence of its predecessor but nevertheless it's always a pleasure to hear these fantastic musicians playing together and whilst some of Mr Gillan's lyrics are not necessarily to my taste some of them equally make me laugh and I can imagine him singing them with his tongue firmly in his cheek. All in all I did enjoy the album and hopefully it will not be their last.

J'écoute DEEP depuis mes 12 ans, j'ai 55 ans ce jour et vraiment c'est bon de retrouver ces Hommes DU ROCK de mes débuts! Ils ont ici la même puissance que celle de Ritchie ,mais il ne faut pas comparer ,Morse c'est Morse et il fait du Morse depuis longtemps . En fait ,j'ai pas écouté du deep depuis longtemps et vraiment cela me fait plaisir de finir cette année avec cela .c'est bon pour le moral .BRAVO A VOUS cet album est super bon ,très bonne production ,tout est bon sur le studio . Le live est un live ,le son c'est pas cela ,mais le courage et le rock sont là ....

Loved all of it

Discazo!!!

このバンド程、世間的な評価に恵まれないバンドはないように思えた。デビュー当時はゼッペリンの方が圧倒して評価されたが、彼らはその後、メンバーの死を機にあっさり消滅して、中心人物だったジミー・ペイジなどは、若くして隠遁してしまったようで、パープルとは比べる問題ではなかった。 彼らのように、高齢になってもしぶとく存在意義を示すことは至難だと思うが、正直、自分も７０年代の最初の解散以降、全く聴いてこなかったので、突然これを買ってみた。 驚くことに、ヴォーカルのイアンも、かのデビカバみたいに痛々しいシャウトなどせずに、自分の魅力である中音域を活かし色っぽく、リズム隊もグルーヴしている。個人的にはギターのスティーブには馴染めないが、作品全体としてはしっかりしていて、ちょっと感動した。 ゴールデン・エディチョンのライブ盤も聞きごたえあって、お得感万歳だ。

Ho visto uno dei primi concerti in Italia dei Deep nel 1971 al Palasport, e sono rimasto fulminato. La mia "carriera" di bass player è stata segnata da Glover e soprattutto dal drumming di Jan Paice. Detto questo, potevo far mancare alla collezione originale, finora completa, l'ultimo lavoro dei grandi amici inglesi? Assolutamente no. I dischi sono due, in vinile pesante e, sono anche corredati da un bellissimo DVD, che segue la realizzazione dei pezzi, dalle prove alla sala di registrazione. Le interviste ai componenti attuali dei Deep Purple sono bellissime e i musicisti raccontano anche aneddoti simpatici. La sincerità di Steve Morse sui suoi problemi alle mani è commovente. Il sound dei pezzi è quello classico. Per i rocchettari incalliti da non perdere. Ah... suggerimento per qualcuno distratto: i dischi sono incisi a 45 giri... altrimenti ascolterete i Deep in dark metal. Ciao.
