Down To Earth is such a good album. I think it has only one weak song (''Makin' Love''). I can see why Bruce likes it, a fusion of Rainbow and Purple sound. The album is full of great melodic plays and riffs. The ones in ''Eyes Of The World'', ''Danger Zone'', or some other songs before and after that could have been an inspiration for him and Roy. Especially the mystical sounding melodies and parts (TCW, Resurrection Men...).Bruce recommended this song.
Starting around 4:10 I hear echos of Gates of Urizen.
That's some serious sound assault
Would like to know your top 10, Sir!
