Product description

Deep Purple's 1996 album "Purpendicular" is a hard rock gem that seamlessly blends classic rock elements with a fresh, contemporary edge. Released on February 17, 1996, under CMC International Records, this album is a testament to the band's enduring talent and their ability to evolve while staying true to their roots. Spanning a total of 62 minutes, "Purpendicular" is a dynamic journey through 12 tracks, each offering a unique flavor of Deep Purple's signature sound.

The album kicks off with "Vavoom: Ted The Mechanic," an energetic opener that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Tracks like "Loosen My Strings" and "Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming" showcase the band's knack for crafting powerful, anthemic rock songs. Meanwhile, "Cascades: I'm Not Your Lover" and "The Aviator" highlight their ability to weave intricate melodies and compelling narratives into their music.

"Purpendicular" also features some of Deep Purple's most memorable instrumentals, such as "Rosa's Cantina" and "A Castle Full Of Rascals," which demonstrate the band's virtuosity and musical chemistry. The album's title track, "The Purpendicular Waltz," is a standout piece that blends classical influences with hard rock, showcasing the band's versatility and innovation.

With its rich tapestry of sounds and styles, "Purpendicular" is a must-listen for any fan of classic and hard rock. It's a powerful reminder of why Deep Purple has remained a titan in the rock genre for decades.

Purple's '90s Rock Masterpiece
5 out of 5 stars
purigwo3833October 17, 2025United States🇺🇸
Without a doubt, one of the greatest rock albums from the '90s. Steve Morse is absolutely phenomenal, the drums, the vocals... Just flawless. This entire album is an incredible surge of energy that few others from that time can match. "Sometimes I feel like screaming" - could music be any more amazing than this? Deep Purple truly outdid themselves with this masterpiece, far surpassing what I expected. Thanks a million.
Tull-Inspired Cassette Gem
4 out of 5 stars
iqf7y8May 18, 2025United States🇺🇸
This album is truly a well-captured piece of work. I don't believe there was a vinyl version when it was released, but the cassette I own sounds fantastic! It's just a fantastic album overall. It even brings to mind Jethro Tull in a few parts, as they were still at their peak then.
Warped C Side, Great Quality
3 out of 5 stars

The C side of my record has some warping when it's played at high pitches. The rest of the sides are perfect, the audio quality is top-notch.
