Oh yes, came across it about two days after we spoke about it (or rather I picked it up with my recent Krautrock haul)! I do quite like it, but I still think I prefer the first album a little bit more? Only on about the third listen at this point though.

That particular Uriah Heep album is damn decent, probably would make a very good introduction to them actually, so keep an eye out for that one! To my ears it's much more interesting than both `Demons and Wizards' and `The Magician's Birthday', which are pretty straightforward. There's one long track where pretty much the entire second half is different kind of keyboards solos, it's hilarious!

That particular Deep Purple one `Burn' is a bit trickier for me. It's very tight and polished and groovy, but I didn't realise when I picked it up (along with `Stormbringer', but haven't listened to it yet) that there were quite a few albums in between `In Rock' and that one. The change in sound is quite a bit of a shock at first, same too for the singing. Still, I like it for what it is...

Had to scratch my head. I did play the late period Wigwam Some Several Moons album. It had the most awful cover ever. Jim was clearly writing good lyrics but the band produced a bit more middle of the road stuff (adult oriented rock), but then, they were in their 60s except the drummer. it has some highlights. Of their 2000s two albums, there were several good cuts in the previous one. Also Jim's last solo album was quite a bit better than this one.
