@Crucial I've only listened to it once - as I was out walking last night. On first hearing it reminds me a lot of other elder statesmen of the music scene. Superbly crafted, fantastic arrangements, melodically strong but just doesn't grab me. Bit soulless. It has gathered some great reviews though so I'll give it a bit more time.
I agree with that on first listen. As some of the songs were released prior to the album I was also quite ho-hum on it until a few listenings later. I actually find much of it quite soulful, just without the obvious tropes that go along with the description, no overwrought vocals etc.
Most of the reviews I have read have been lukewarm on the track 'Rockets' which is an obvious Bowie homage. I find it quite a stunning song. To take a sound so obviously from one of your musical 'heroes' and make it also obviously your own is quite a feat.I'm in the lukewarm club but definitely Bowie esque.
Nice work with "Heroes". So listening to this now:
-
God I love a whiney song, she reminds me of Yara Greyjoy -
@Snowy Heroes is a great song, always liked the cover by The Wallflowers too

PJ Harvey - This Is Love
... is up there, with a similar sentiment in the lyrics

It’s a banger alright. I even forgave her for stealing Zeps drumming on this one.

This is very Spinal Tap, including the "Phonehenge Stage".

Last night I turned on Sky Arts to see Deep Purple come hell or high water was on. It's a concert/doc from 1993 which was right at the end of the mark II DP. Really great concert and some interesting interviews. Some key points
Gillan looks ridiculously like Bill Murray with long hair
Blackmore really looks like he didn't want to be there. Walks off stage between his solo's quite often
Paice was an utterly ridiculous looking specimen at that point in time.
I had the sound through my 15 year old Bose setup and it was great.
Amazing how much camera technology has changed. The concert looks really really shit from a lighting perspective - but I went to a few back then and they just weren't. So I deduce it must be the camera's!It's really worth a watch if you are into their music.

Jon Lord and Roger Glover don’t even rate a mention then ?

@MN5 Glover does a lot of interviews but not much focus on him on stage. Lord is front and center on the Hammond, but that instrument has never really been my thing. Key part of DP for sure tho
Richie will always be just about the best guitarist ever for me. Amazing feel, tone and technique. Paice is an incredible drummer too. In fact about the only guy I don’t rate as an all time great is Glover but he did his job solidly enough and was also a whiz in the studio.

Something from before I was born.....In High Fidelity by Sarah Vaughan
Amazing production values for a 1955 record. Terrific voice and great songs but perhaps a bit too perfect and soul-less for me? Lacks the sheer joy and energy or emotion you get from, say, Ella Fitzgerald or Peggy Lee.
