I've found some real gems in here when I've had the time to have a delve! Thanks for your efforts Apollo.

As per Del, Whoosh - Deep Purple

As & when it becomes available. Welcome back btw, you aint missed much.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

I got the album delivered on release and apart from Don Aireys keyboard here and there you'd never know it was purple, a bit of a disappointment to be honest Jamie

Make you own minds up folks,

Packed full of decadent riffs, haunted house keyboards and frontman Ian Gillan’s gloriously hammy vocals, ‘Whoosh!’ isn’t just a testament to their staying power, but perhaps one of the most stupidly fun and outrageously silly albums of the year – and goodness, we’re all in need of a bit of fun right now, aren’t we?

Gillan has offered the following enjoyably nonsensical explanation of the album title: “Whoosh is an onomatopoeic word that, when viewed through one end of a radio-telescope, describes the transient nature of humanity on Earth; and, through the other end from a closer perspective, illustrates the career of Deep Purple.” Digging this deep into the meaning behind ‘Whoosh!’ isn’t necessary – this is an album that can and should be enjoyed without over-thinking.

Dramatic opener ‘Throw My Bones’ sets the tone with a guitar solo worthy of being played shirtless on a stormy clifftop. And the song fades out! How long has it been since you last heard a song fade out?! That Deep Purple don’t give a s*** is undeniably part of this record’s appeal – it’s at once totally out of step with modern times and just the kind of thing we need to soothe one of the worst years in living memory.

While the aggressive rockabilly of ‘What The What’ might have overdone it with the boogie-woogie piano, ‘Nothing At All’ is a chugging, timeless rock ballad of the kind that will absolutely destroy rock night dancefloors across the globe, while the strutting ‘No Need To Shout’ shows you where Guns N’ Roses got all their ideas from. The utterly anthemic ‘The Long Way Round’, meanwhile, is a dead cert for the car stereo next time we get stuck in traffic on the M4 to Slough.

Sure, ‘Whoosh!’ might not sound like it was created in 2020, but considering the last few months we’ve had, maybe that’s a good thing.

Very Spinal Tappish, and hugely enjoyable

Many thanks

I disengage, I turn the page.

Got this delivered yesterday, Biffy Clyro 'A Celebration Of Endings', but there was no download card with it so if by chance you can find a link for it it would be muchly appreciated

A decent album, only a little different to their norm and very enjoyable.

Also any sign of S & M 2 by Metallica?

Cheers fella
