Never believed that anyone could replace Ritchie Blackmore because to me and many early fans Blackmore was Deep Purple. I loved Tommy Bolin but even his virtuoso guitar playing on " Come Taste the Band" as Blackmore replacement just did not have the feel or Purple sound that I missed as much as I still got into the lp. Perpendicular now has totally tooken me and has me in awe of the cd and just how thouroughly good the groove is with all the parts completly meshing to make a whole. Steve Morse is incredible and once in the groove Gillian, Lord, Paice, and Glover are of course perfect band mates being all original Purple members so no complaints I turn this on and listen completely because all tracks are excellent and for those not familiar give it a spin sometime. I have about 25 Purple lps in my collection and this cd has became one of my favorites and is a must have for the Purple fan. Deep Purple is still one of the monster bands that still is one of my biggest sellers in my music store Albumholics Audiophiles Anonymous so I strongly recommend giving this a spin!Read full review
I heard this back in the 90s and forgot how great this album was. The dawn of a new era. Highly enjoyable album. I'd recommend getting it before it goes out of print.
