Memories of Thunder and Purple Smoke: The Trajectory of Deep Purple 1970-1975
From 1970 to 1975, Deep Purple created the prototype of hard rock, and their music, with its thunderous roar and purple smoke, swept the world. The riffs of "Smoke on the Water," set against the backdrop of the Montreux fires, became an enduring symbol, while "Child in Time" echoed Cold War prayers and anger in its epic structure. Highway Star" and "Burn" create a wall of sound that is both fast and heavy, opening up new horizons of musicality. Space Truckin'" and "Lazy" combined improvisation and a wide range of musicality, and developed a rich worldview that even incorporated elements of classical music and blues-jazz. Deep Purple was the creator of a sonic epic.
