Deep Purple will release a 20th anniversary remix of the largely ignored 2005 album ‘Rapture of the Deep’.
‘Rapture of the Deep’ was for fourth album with Steve Morse and second album with Don Airey. It featured founding member Ian Paice on drums, bass player Roger Glover who joined for the fourth album ‘Deep Purple In Rock’ and Ian Gillian, who also joined the band for ‘Deep Purple In Rock’.
Roger Glover said, “We were going through a bit of a hard time when we started the songwriting and production of ‘Rapture of the Deep’ and, strangely enough, we didn’t have a record company at that point. Let’s face it, we were a bit lost (…).”
Now, newly mixed with the supervision of Roger Glover, analogue-mastered at renowned Chameleon Studios in Hamburg, and presented with bold new artwork, Rapture of the Deep finally shines with clarity and colour. “It’s a new album now to me.”, says Roger Glover.
Added to the album is the Steve Morse piece ‘Closing Note’.
