Deep Purple - The House Of Blue Light (1987). Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.

The House of Blue Light is the twelfth studio album by The British rock band Deep Purple, released in 1987. It is the second recording by the re-formed Mark II line-up, and the sixth studio album overall by this formation of the band. The album's creation was an exceedingly long and difficult process, which singer Ian Gillan compared to the recording of Who Do We Think We Are in Rome.

Of the seventies hard-rock dinosaurs that still roam the earth, Deep Purple is one of the few with any credibility left in its crunch. The House of Blue Light - the second album by Purple’s classic In Rock lineup since their return to active duty - is certainly a marked improvement over their lukewarm ’84 comeback, Perfect Strangers, and, except for a couple of outright duds on side two, is as good as this band has ever been since its Smoke on the Water salad days.

Virtually all of the record's first half suffers from this (especially "Unwritten Law" and "Bad Attitude"), but things improve with the Eastern-flavored melodies of "The Spanish Archer" and "Strange Ways. The eerie sound textures explored on the latter evoke memories of classic Purple, and finally allow some space.

The House of Blue Light was a weird album and hard to put together, keyboardist Jon Lord told Modern Keyboard. We made the massive mistake of trying to make our music current. We discovered that people didn’t want us to that. They wanted us to do what we do best. Lord is responsible for many of the high points on the record. But The House of Blue Light as a whole is hardly a guitar album like the band’s watershed moments Machine Head and Deep Purple in Rock. Listen to Deep Purple's 'Bad Attitude'. Frontman Ian Gillan is in fine form vocally, even if his lyrics are a bit heavy-handed. Mitzi Dupree, for instance, blunders down the familiar path of Grand Funk Railroad’s We’re an American Band and Purple's own Knocking at Your Back Door in being about a woman with crude talents, in this case involving ping-pong balls.
