Stormbringer the second album from deep purple Mark 3, finally gets the deluxe treatment, in this case in the form of CD and DVD (more on eth DVD to follow).
The music is a step up from the slick hard funk sound that characterised the `Burn' album, with the influence of `Coverdale' and `Hughes' in evidence throughout songs like `Stormbringer' and `Love don't mean a thing'. this album also contains probably my favourite Deep purple mark 3 song `Soldier of Fortune', a song a strong as any in the Deep purple cannon, and one which makes me think that if Richie Blackmore had not bailed out after this album a third album might just have been the best of the lot. The album its self is re-mastered on CD in the modern style i.e. squashing the dynamics a bit and making the music sound LOUD. Also on CD are Five bonus tracks the most interesting of which is `Love don't mean a thing' which is around a minute longer.
The best though is the DVD which contains the original Quad mix from 1974 for that alone EMI/Purple records are to be applauded, How many more Quad mixes are their in the record company archives waiting to be released like this. The Quad mix is very old school, i.e. no movement in the instruments and a lot of the time an instrument in each corner, nice. This mix is available to listen to in DTS 5.1 with a different single or album sleeve per song shown on your TV, or as a stereo mix down in PCM. Again applause to EMI for providing a PCM track at better that 16 bit. The one let down is the fact that a full strength DVDA track could have been added there is enough space on the disc; however this should not stop you buying the album. On the whole a nice package with copious sleeve notes and some great hard funk music. Now where is `Come taste the band' anniversary edition?

First off, let me say that giving this title a bad review before release date, and based ONLY on the format, is unfair and misleading.
***In view of some comments and other reviews after I posted mine, I have to add that YES, I DO HAVE A COPY even though I write this ahead of its scheduled street date. Thank you.***
This CD + DVD doesn't feature any high resolution content, but that's not reason enough to give it a one star review and put people off buying it. Not everyone owns a DVD-A or SACD capable machine so, even though I too would have preferred to have the hi-rez option as well, that's where the gripes end.
The DVD on this set will be playable on all machines, whether you're hi-rez equipped or not, and that makes for wider appeal and less of a headache for the consumers who might not be familiar with hi-rez formats.
We can't knock this release just because they didn't cater for the DVD-A and SACD enthusiasts. We represent a very small portion of the market and are in the minority. That may be sad to some of us, but it doesn't make this CD + DVD set any worse!
As for the actual contents of the set, everyone who's been following the previous remasters from Deep Purple already know what to expect. Care and attention to detail are given in both sound quality and presentation, with an informative booklet featuring many pictures and memorabilia.
As usual with the Deep Purple remasters, they also feature some nice bonus tracks and this is where Stormbringer stands head and shoulders over previous re-issues: It features new mixes of some of the album tracks done by Glenn Hughes (interesting for fans of the original album), plus an amazing and harder rocking early version of Highball Shooter, with Blackmore's guitars aplenty and to the forefront. As a Blackmore nut, this track alone made it well worth purchasing, a definite highlight!
But that's not all, because we also get a DVD with the original quadrophonic mix from the 70s! That's a real treat for all of us with a surround system at home and a whole new way of listening to tracks like Lady Double Dealer, Hold On or Gypsy.
If you're a fan of Stormbringer already, this re-issue is sure to give you plenty of listening enjoyment, along with the opportunity to listen to this underrated classic under a whole new light. Don't miss out!
I personally loved this re-issue more than that of Burn itself (arguably an overall better album) and, in all honesty, I have to give it 5 stars for sheer value-for-money. Sure, I would have loved to see hi-rez audio on the DVD (The Beatles' "Love" DVD-A being a great example of how this can be beautifully done), but it could also have been more expensive and, for the price, this new Stormbringer is a real winner.
Don't let the choice of DVD format bring you down, and enjoy the music. :)

I will never understand why lots of Deep Purple fans don't like this album. Yes, it is different from In Rock and Machine Head, the two studio masterpieces everybody loves (I think Machine Head could easily be among the top ten rock albums of all time). But, being realistic, Deep Purple may not have been able to make another Machine Head even if Ian Gillan had fallen in love with Blackmore and had married him. If it was so easy to create a string of masterpieces, I guess they would not be such things. Remember the rather dissapointing Who Do We Think We Are ?
I think that many fans are much too nostalgic, and tend to refuse any kind of line-up changes or musical innovations, immediately qualifying them as some kind of treachery or creative weakness. Other ones simply hate Glenn Hughes and/or David Coverdale (and Tommy Bolin, Steve Morse, ... everyone who was not part of MK II).
Here we got a new musical direction where Deep Purple leaves room for a few slow numbers (Holy man, The Gypsy and Soldier of fortune, which are intense and powerful, not at all AOR mellow, sticky ballads), and some touches of soul or funk (more notorious in You can't do it right). Love don't mean a thing is a sensual and bluesy mid tempo song, Stormbringer really sounds like thunder and strikes like lightning, and the rest (Hold on, High ball shooter and Lady double dealer) are breathtaking rockers. The album is full of memorable bass lines, guitar and organ riffs, and superb solos of guitar, piano, organ and synthesizer; the drums and the voices are impeccable.
Ah, yes, of course, the remaster is ok.

This just isn't Deep Purple. "In Rock" - that's Deep Purple. "Fireball", "Machine Head", "Made In Japan" - that's also Deep Purple. This is lame funk rubbish. Read more
