Perfect Strangers

Deep Purple

A heavy, polished reunion of rock's most technical lineup. Massive Hammond organ swells meet sharp 80s production and mid-tempo stadium power.

Find on Amazon

The kings of the Hammond organ and the Stratocaster get the band back together for a masterclass in heavy, mid-tempo power.

A powerful, self-assured blend of veteran technical skill and dark, atmospheric stadium rock.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The ominous, eastern-influenced organ swell that opens the title track before the heavy riff drops.
Ian Gillan's self-referential nod to Smoke on the Water during the bridge of Hungry Daze.
The rapid-fire guitar and organ unison runs during the climax of Under the Gun.
