Here is the new song, called "Man Alive".

Sounds pretty good on first listen, though reckon the drums could be a bit louder in the mix, which would give the song more power.

 

[Freeyyaa]

The song reminds me the ones I heard in 2017 on "Infinite".

Ian Paice has got himself a YouTube channel where he is putting up some of the footage he has taken over the years, as well as some spoken videos with stories and answering questions.

Three days to go! They have released a sample of all the songs:

I'm pretty excited about the new record.

I really liked Infinite and the tasters from Whoosh! have been great so far, so it's all looking pretty good... And it's great how the current incarnation of Purple has stayed so... relevant. This band still has something to say and it's damn cool.

So who's in the line-up? What version of Deep Purple are we on now? MK40?

Same lineup as it has been since Jon Lord died ... really this has been their most stable period by far. I thought Infinite was okay, but a step back from Now What?! ... but looking forward to the new album, the songs I have heard so far have been good

The same since 2002...

Listened to Whoosh over the weekend, I enjoyed it quite a bit ... pretty on par with Now What?! and a marked improvement over Infinite.

 

[Vantage Point]

Arrived this morning, looking forward to giving it a spin after work this evening. Got high hopes for it based on what I've heard up until now.

 

[Vantage Point]

Had it on a couple of times now, think it is really solid, consistent throughout, definitely, for me, the best of the three Ezrin albums.

Need to make time to check out the interviews on the DVD.

Watching the live DVD from Hellfest 2017 that comes with the limited edition of Whoosh! has reminded me of how great they still are. Ian Gillan can be a bit hit and miss, but the musicianship in this band is amazing.

Let’s hope I’ll get a chance to see them live again in the future (the last time was at the Royal Albert Hall on the Celebrating Jon Lord show in 2014).

New video, this time for "Nothing At All" (and its incredible keyboard solo!)

 

[srfc]

Decent track,

I prefer the alternative video

Love this song (and its amazing keyboard solo!).

 

[Kalata]

The songs ''Knocking At Your Back Door'' and ''Anya'' have two of the best melodic riffs in Deep Purple's discography!

... Ritchie Blackmore's magic:

[Onhell]

My favorite Deep Purple is Rainbow.

 

[Onhell]

In all seriousness, The Anya riff was recycled by Edguy. Can't recall the exact song, but I believe it's from Rocket Ride.
