Title: It's different from Deep Purple
Review: The reason why Ian Gillan and Roger Glover choose to record an album on their own was probably due to the character of the songs, i.e. they didn't fit Deep Purple. This album is a bit uneven but it's pleasantly diverse. The opening "Clouds and rain" is the highlight and a very strong song. "She took my breath away" is a quiet and laid back number where Gillan's voice is in focus, and also one of the finer moments on the album. But if you're looking for real hard rocking tracks you better look elsewhere, even if Gillan & Glover have thrown in some decent but rather average rockers. Some of the songs are a bit odd and very hard to categorize in a certain genre. Even if bits and pieces are very good and the mentioned "Clods and rain" is great, I can't give this effort any higher rating than 2 stars - but that doesn't mean it's worthless.
