And, it might be true not to have gotten the action that Ritchie Blackmore seceded Deep Purple the answer easily voluntarily either. His secession might have held worry as a frame of mind at that time. However, the challenge and the creation to the music of Ritchie Blackmore surely stared at the next stage.

The single Solo production has already progressed to Ritchie Blackmore in the process of the production of "Stormbringer" of the album of Deep Purple announced in 1974. Collection is refused to this "Black Sheep of the Family" for the reasons why other members of Deep Purple do not perform tunes other than the original as a result. This "Black Sheep of the Family/Sixteenth Century Greensleeves" runs aground as a result. Leaping results attended with a further necessity the idea of Ritchie Blackmore.

The band that was called "Elf" by one of the bands of the support that took charge of a lot of tours of Deep Purple existed. Ritchie Blackmore had evaluated Ronnie James Dio of this band high. It has the result of this fact's leading to the formation of "Rainbow" as a necessity.

To make the shape of the music at which Ritchie Blackmore had to aim exactly in 1975 an embodiment, their debut albums were announced. It is ..Rock album with high quality that Ritchie Blackmore in the debut album of Rainbow added elements etc. of a few Blues to the cultivated Music character with Deep Purple.. finished.

It makes remarks on Ronnie James Dio by the process from the debut album of Rainbow to the production of this "Rising". 「The member of Elf was appointed and the album was produced in the debut album. However, it was necessary to give dismantlement and restructuring to raise the perfection of the music character at which the band aimed further. 」This remark at that time was not to have criticized Ritchie Blackmore at all. The directionality of the zeal that the band had and the music that should be aimed surely catches everything at that time and it is not in "the difference. All the results might be expressed in this album. My act was a correct answer or was mistaken when Deep Purple seceded or Ritchie Blackmore was made remarks no understanding. However, this act has succeeded as a result in making very complete music as the result surely without having complete power.

The member is replaced to construct the perfection and the idea of the work for the recording of this album and it is produced. Tony Carey takes charge of the keyboard player. And, Jimmy Bain of an active Bass player in the album etc. of Wild Horses. And, Cozy Powell takes charge of the drum player. The rhythm that Cozy Powell performs as a point that should make a special mention is a point that surely responds to the music character at which Rainbow aims while following the performance to listen in the Jeff Beck group. The straight rhythm and a hard, intense performance might be the performances to complete for the band.

"Tarot Woman" might be a tune of which the element and the conception of the gramary to which Ritchie Blackmore devoted oneself went out. The tune explodes from the start of the synthesizer with the Spacey part attended with Riff of five group notes. The composition of a complete tune has evolved greatly since the time of Rainbow that has already debuted. Intensely advanced with reminiscent of the culture in the Middle Ages development might splendidly express the music character at which the band should exactly aim. The obbligati of Solo and the keyboard of the guitar harmonizes completely, too.

"Run With The Wolf" is straight Rock that ensemble of the band is splendidly demonstrated. The progress of Chord also ..good composition.. has finished while giving the change. Solo that the guitar is good twines as Groove continuing. It might have been exactly proven that the band had evolved greatly.

"Starstruck" advances with the rhythm of the shuffle with Groove from the part of the harmony of the guitar. Overwhelming power of the tune raises the album-quality. And, the line of Bass also contributes to the tune. Straight Rock will completely raise this album- quality. Solo of the guitar that uses the bottleneck has acted on the tune well, too.

"Do You Close Your Eyes" progresses with complete power and a friendly melody. It was often performed as a tune of the encore of live that Rainbow at that time had done. The sound of the guitar might be a sound for Rock in complete. Groove is continued.

"Stargazer" progresses from Solo of the drum that multiuses the demiquaver as complete Rock. The music at which the band should aim appears remarkably exactly. Development that gives the impression in the Middle Ages while containing the part of the orchestra will be one of the elements that this band will continue in the future. Solo of the guitar that twines while continuing the impression of the solemnity has the overwhelming might. The tune offers the listener one shape of the music that completely reached the peak and they aimed.

It is said that "A Light In The Black" spent the period of about eight months by the time the tune is completed as well as "Stargazer". The flow that progresses with a complete dash feeling might be one the top. The performance of the band continues complete power and the dash feeling attended with Riff of an impressive guitar. The flow that multiuses harmony from overwhelming Solo of the keyboard and shifts to an advanced composition of the tune and solo of the guitar will exactly call the excitement and impression. An overwhelming dash feeling and power express the highest idea and the power of the band.

This always popular in work of Rainbow album will have been a legend momentarily of the completion.
