Product Description

Deep Purple, the legendary hard rock band, unleashed "Purpendicular" on February 17, 1996, under CMC International Records. This classic rock masterpiece spans a dynamic hour and two minutes, packed with twelve electrifying tracks that showcase the band's signature sound and musical prowess.

Kicking off with the high-energy "Vavoom: Ted The Mechanic," the album immediately grabs attention with its powerful riffs and driving rhythm. "Loosen My Strings" and "Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming" follow, each offering a unique blend of hard rock intensity and melodic depth. The title track, "Cascades: I'm Not Your Lover," is a standout, featuring intricate guitar work and a captivating melody that lingers in the mind.

The album's second half continues to impress with tracks like "The Aviator" and "Rosa's Cantina," which blend rock and roll swagger with a touch of Latin flair. "A Castle Full Of Rascals" and "Hey Cisco" showcase the band's knack for crafting memorable hooks and infectious grooves. The album concludes with "The Purpendicular Waltz," a fitting finale that ties the entire experience together with a blend of rock and classical influences.

"Purpendicular" is a testament to Deep Purple's enduring talent and their ability to create music that resonates with fans of hard rock and classic rock alike. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their music, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Purple's '90s Rock Masterpiece
5 out of 5 stars
purigwo383317 October 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
iqf7y818 May 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.
