Album Art & Booklet Review

• Photography By [Band Pictures by] – Jim Rakete
  • https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Rakete
  • German photographer, record producer, and manager of several German new wave bands.
• Artwork – Büro Dirk Rudolph*
  • https://www.dirkrudolph.de/
  • German graphic designer.
  • 700+ Visual credits on Discogs
• Gillan:
  • “If you take it literally you may, quite reasonably, think the ‘Finite’ part of the word describes the life of Deep Purple, with a clear beginning and a nebulous end; but what of the ‘in’ bit? The word infinite is a three-dimensional double edged sword. It describes something that goes on forever in all directions; not unlike its temporal equivalent ‘Eternal’ What’s that all about?
  • Stephen Hawking declared (in ‘A brief History of Time’) that, before the Big Bang there was nothing. That would put the kybosh on the idea of our universe being Infinite, as he provides a starting point, which is not acceptable to the concept. So, Hawking’s universe in ‘Finite’; by definition; whether he agrees or not.
  • Ironically, he is quite wrong (scientists always are eventually), therefore the Universe is infinite, which means it will never end, and also means that it never started, and the corollary to that of course is that we don’t exist.
  • There is a metaphysical solution to all this, but it will have to wait until the tour is over because (thanks heavens) there are only 24 hours in a day (for the time being) or 10 hours in a metric day. More on that later…”

Album Tracks:

1. Time For Bedlam
   • Deep Purple “inFinite” Track By Track – “Time For Bedlam”
   • Deep Purple “Time For Bedlam” Official Lyric Video from the new album “inFinite”
   • Roger:
     • At the end of a jam that sounds promising, I’ll ask if anyone in the band has a working title for the song. Time For Bedlam was one of mine — it’s a fun play on words — and occasionally a working title will present itself as a proper title. It was even considered as an album title at one point, but we were talked out of it.
     • When we write the songs, we steep ourselves in the atmosphere of the song and try and figure out what it’s about. And this one sounded vicious. Especially the keyboard solo. It was bedlam.
2. Hip Boots
   • Deep Purple “inFinite” Track By Track – “Hip Boots”
   • Roger:
     • I don’t know how true it is, but years and years ago I heard that the origin of the word ‘hip’ comes from a southern American phrase that says, “you can bury me up to my knees in shit, but I’ve got my hip boots on.” And I’ve had this in the back of my brain for 20 years. It’s a song about freedom, and about being above it all.
     • I like that fact that it goes into 3/4 time. To me, that’s a real kicker.
3. All I Got Is You
   • Deep Purple “inFinite” Track By Track – “All I Got Is You”
   • Deep Purple “All I Got Is You” Official Music Video
   • Roger:
     • It comes from a phrase Ian Paice uses. You’ll be telling him something, and he’ll be looking at you with a blank look on his face, and finally he’ll say, “Look at it this way. You’ve got me: all I’ve got is you!” Ian’s sense of humour is based on insults.
     • There’s no forethought about where an album might be going, but we knew we didn’t want to write love songs. We didn’t want to write about fast cars and girls. We should write lyrics for our age. We were looking for stories, and for words we could get our teeth into. And this is a funny song about a relationship gone bad.
4. One Night In Vegas
   • Deep Purple “inFinite” Track By Track – “One Night In Vegas”
   • Roger:
     • This has a really cool groove, going down that Freddie King 16s feel, which we love. It’s one of my favourite tracks.
     • Don Airey told me this story about a band who played Las Vegas, and the bass player went out and got really drunk. He woke up the next morning with a hangover, unable to remember anything, with a girl he didn’t know lying next to him. He asked who she was, and she said, “I’m your wife!” And they’re still together after 30 years!
5. Get Me Outta Here
   • Deep Purple “inFinite” Track By Track – “Get Me Outta Here”
   • Roger:
     • I was sitting at home in my studio messing around with Pro Tools, and took four bars of Paicey’s intro to Bodyline [from 2013’s Now What?!] and slowed it right down. It became almost a reggae tempo, and it sounded great. The drums get thicker, but Ian’s swing feel still comes through. I just loved it, so I wrote a riff over it, and it just resonated with me. The song just flowed.
     • Maybe I was thinking about The Animals We Gotta Get Out Of This Place, maybe I was thinking about the state of the world we’re in. You just want to run away from it.

Patron Updates:

• Hi Nate & John, 
• After being a patron for more than a year it is high time to introduce myself. Discovered your podcast in  spring 2020 and it helped to stay sane during the pandemic craze (although it was kind of soft here in Sweden). I’ve been a DP fan since the mid seventies, which kind of give away my age…  Anyway, love your podcast, keep up the good work.

Lead up to the Album:

• Tom Galley spearheaded this project which took two years to complete.  His goal was to bring this forward as a concept album using music, words, film, and painting.
• He paired with a painter, Ian Lowe, to illustrate the songs on the album.
• A promo video was made to act as a trailer for the single “Dance With The Devil” in Europe.
  • Phenomena – Dance with the Devil
• For the US they made a video for “Kiss Of Fire.”  In Kerrang they said they were unsure whether it would be this track or “Still The Night.”
  • Phenomena Kiss Of Fire 1985
• They also announced in Kerrang that they were working on a 70-minute long form video. This doesn’t appear to ever have been completed.
• Tom Galley talks about there being a large number of cinemas where he grew up in Staffordshire, his mother working at one.
• Galley mentions movies such as “This Island Earth” (1955), “The Day The Earth Stood Still” (1951), and “Jack The Giant Killer” (1962) referencing them as classics.
• He was always into science fiction and fantasy adventures more than war movies or westerns.
• He references American culture’s input into movies being an influence as well.
• He also references E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Stephen King’s Dead Zone.
• Galley began scripting a storyboard for his ideas.
• Presented are nine songs which each encapsulate one of the fantasies or visions related to the songs.
• The plot is described in Kerrang as such:
  • The story concerns Professor Limit who has constructed a machine capable of transmitting telepathic energy created by the brain, aided by his nine-year-old daughter, Lucy, a natural telepath (the girl is actually the daughter of Limit’s wife and his former lab assistant, Chasen!). When the military becomes unhealthily interested in his experiment Limit seeks help from an influential friend called Frame to whom he demonstrates the machine’s power. In a further experiment Limit is killed and Lucy becomes inseparably linked to the machine. Frame calls on her natural father, Chasen, to rescue the girl by linking himself to the machine and leading her out of the world of fantasy into which she has plunged. The nine songs represent various confrontations through which they pass.
• Galley mentions the mirror scene in “Enter The Dragon” as a visual inspiration for the confrontation that Lucy has.
• The confrontations occur during the nine songs, each as a different struggle between good and evil.
• Tom said he thought the process would take a long time working with the people he was working with. He didn’t want to duplicate “War of the Worlds” and wanted to start looking at it in an audio/visual light.
• He felt himself getting carried away with the long form video so he enlisted Pete Winkleman of Arista Records who was interested in the project, Pete guided him to take it one step at a time.
• It mentions in the second issue of Kerrang that people such as Cozy Powell and Don Airey are not likely to be kicked out of their respective bands (ELP and Alaska) if the album isn’t a success. Tom Galley, on the other hand, is described as having his “every possession (house, wife, cat, record collection) has been placed in hock over the last couple of years in order to keep the project alive before a record company was prepared to step in and take up the financial reins and responsibilities.”
• They mention that the success of a future movie, etc. are dependent on how the album sells.
• Galley says he’d approached Ozzy Osbourne about doing the album and that he was going to do it but there was always some problem.

• Phenomena Review by Greg Prato
• Supergroups have been common in the realm of hard rock for decades — some have worked wonders (Cream), while some, well, stunk (too many to mention). One of the more obscure ones to surface was the ’80s outfit Phenomena, who debuted in 1985 with a self-titled release, and featured contributions from the likes of Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), Don Airey (Ozzy Osbourne), and a trio of ex-Whitesnake members — Mel Galley, Neil Murray, and Cozy Powell. Those expecting tough, rip-roaring heavy metal may be a bit disappointed by the album (which features a cover shot of a young girl quite reminiscent of Linda Blair circa The Exorcist). Keep in mind — the mid-’80s was the era of polished, keyboard-heavy, melodic rock, and Phenomena fit in with the musical climate, especially on such tracks as the album-opening “Kiss of Fire” and “Still the Night.” If GTR could have scored a hit or two around this time, with the right push, there’s no reason why Phenomena couldn’t have also.

It was a tricky piece, with some intricate time breaks, and Matt had to not only learn them all, but to embellish them as well. Obviously he did a great job, though, as the finished track will testify.
   • “(Glenn and Matt checking out Matt’s final take on ‘Talkin To Messiah’.”) I remember sitting with Glenn in the control booth for part of this session, watching him watch Matt. Matt was such a nice guy, and Glenn was so pleased to have him play on that song, to have him appear on the album, just to have him around, that at one point he turned to me, smiling, and said: “Marc, you’ve got to get lots of pictures with Matt.

Believe it or not, Glenn hadn’t played this number since 1974 or 75, and so he’d had to spend a couple of minutes before this session holed up in the control booth with Gary Ferguson listening to the original version off of the “Stormbringer” album a few times before going into the recording chamber, plugging in, and whipping this one out. Looking back on it, I remember how impressed we were, not only with Glenn, but with Gary as well, at how professional he was, building and then playing his parts with speed and efficiency. He was amazing really.

Glenn Hughes – Feel
	STYLE: RockRATING OUR PRODUCT CODE: 17856-27450LABEL: SPV 08589762FORMAT: CD AlbumITEMS: 1
Reviewed by Mike RimmerIn 1994 I reported the career revival of Glenn Hughes who was travelling the road of recovery from drug and alcohol abuse through the grace of God and various support agencies. His personal revival continues to be expressed not through radical Jesus lyrics but simply because this former incapacitated rock’n’roll casualty continues to have his life together on the road and in the studio. Through his Deep Purple heritage it sometimes feels as though fans’ expectations force Hughes into being more of a rock singer than he’d like. However, whether he’s bellowing out the heavier side of this album on “Big Time” or “Redline” or getting funky on “Coffee And Vanilla”, Glenn Hughes has one of the exceptional and versatile voices of British rock. Certainly on the funky stuff like the sublime “Speak Your Mind” and the sax enhanced “Save Me Tonight” where he soars off into the heights. As well as his voice, it’s good to hear Hughes slappin’ that bass again. Long time fans will be pleased to hear Pat Thrall reinstated on guitar duties and contributing subtle and not so subtle additions to the proceedings. A close inspection of the lyrics reveals a few carefully coded references that show Glenn is still aware of the source of his continued strength. Worth getting into just to check out the wonder of Glenn Hughes’ tonsils!The opinions expressed in this article are not necessarily those held by Cross Rhythms. Any expressed views were accurate at the time of publishing but may or may not reflect the views of the individuals concerned at a later date.

Feel – Album Review

Xero XRCN 1243 : JAPAN : July 1995 CDGlenn’s latest studio offering again came out in Japan far in advance of anywhere else. Eleven tracks plus a bonus re-re-cording of “Holy Man”. I have to admit that with so many advance reports stressing the mediocre nature of the material, it was a long time before I summed up courage to play it through properly. It saddens me to admit that most of what people were saying to me was right.The whole CD really lacks direction and drive. It has no real spirit or identity. Glenn seems to have had so little to fight against on here that he really goes through the motions. Yes it is wonderfully performed vocally but Glenn is so gifted in this department these days that one looks for a little more somehow. The rockier direction of his live shows has all but gone, yet the slower funkier material fails to catch fire – crying out for some really dirty bass and Bolinesque guitar, and also lacks basic melody much of the time. Elsewhere tracks like “Big Time”, the opening song, do have a lot more promise – a modern backing which manages to deliver something a little stronger for once. I dunno, I really feel Glenn needs some very good firm production help to begin to push him forward, for albums like this just won’t advance the cause one iota.
