Machine Head
Minot Nd, The "Windmill." 1971.
Deep Purple was an English band, known as much for the technical
expertise as their sheer volume. Singer Ian Gillam shows amazin g ability
to hit clear high notes, and was also selected as the lead for the "Jesus
Christ Superstar" album. His screams on "Highway Star" are
unbelievable, as are organist Jon Lord's Hammond runs, Ian Pace's
thunderous drumming and Ritchie Blackmore's shredding leads. "Smoke
On the Water", the classic hard rock anthem, first appeared on this disk,
but "Lazy", "Maybe I'm a Leo", "Pictures Of Home", and "Never Before" are
also great cuts that were overshadowed by the hits that received radio
airplay. The closing cut, "Space Trucking" has even higher, more urgent,
vocal screams near the end, which are the perfect dynamic conclusion to
another racing heavy metal standard. This is one of the definitive hard
rock albums, a must own for every collection.
