What Are You Listening To?

[SteveO]

DP were here last February on Super Bowl Sunday. I didn't attend but from all accounts they were fabulous ! No Ritchie Blackmore or Ian Gillan...replaced by Steve Morse and Glen Hughes ( I think ) respectively.

from my library (cd)



Can't believe these guys were still at it, as of 2005. Still sounding good on this 14th release. They would have to
have it down by this point. The lasy one to chart in the U.S. at a very weak #192, but the U.K. was still on board
though at #21. Single of the title track made the Mainstream Rock chart. The familiar lineup of Gillan, Blackmore,
Paice, Lord and Glover. Blackmore and Gillan had a falling out after the recording and Ritchie quit mid-tour,
replaced by Joe Satriani on tour, and Steve Morse for the next album. Ritchie didn't appreciate the re-working
Gillan did on some tracks. Sounds like the old DP to me, but most thought they had gone soft by this point. Metal
had to move on I guess. No love tracks and a couple of bombs. Not a great album by any means, but it did the job if
that's what you were into.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - A Twist In The Tale

Best Track - Anya

I'm so far away
From everything you know
Your name is carried on the wind
Your ice blue waters Anya
Where do they flow
Where have they been
where have they been
A hidden passion
Touching a spark
Flame a revolution
Burning wild in your gypsy heart
Your gypsy heart
Anya - The spirit of freedom
Anya - Oh Anya
The light of freedom buried
Deep within your soul
Across the puszta plain to see
The rhapsody of angels
Refuse to dance alone
What do they mean
What do they mean
Your jewel flashing
Across the dark
Fobidding distance
I love your gypsy heart
Anya
