Here's a beautiful song about the sculptures of the capital, Gran Canaria. They use AI. This city has so many sculptures, and yet... we don't even look at them; we walk past them without saying hello, without even stopping. This little video also shows you the spirit of the people of this lovely island. Enjoy!

 
You Keep On Moving, the epic closer to their 1976 record. Deep Purple never sounded like this before or after, a unique rock offering. I really love this band, they got me through some really hard times. The second track is Dealer, a good common-sense (and funky) anti drug rock song, surprising for its time, which was typically bacchanalian excess all round. I've read a ton of rock biographies and almost all of them have rants against parasitic dealer types wreaking havoc in their lives. Appetites get out of control, and very open spirits with a sense of adventure fall into tragic habits. The final track is I Need Love, a simple funk jam that this era of the band could just toss off on a whim, they were (and still are) very capable musicians.



 
Three other evergreen tracks from Stormbringer, the 1974 record by Purple. This record represents an end of an era for the band as it was the last to feature lead guitarist and all round wizard Ritchie Blackmore. Apparently he doesn't like this record himself, but many fans love it. The production is just great, no electronic tomfoolery to muddle things up.



 
Two rare cuts and one solid gold classic from The Soft Parade, a 1969/70 record by The Doors. The first one is a mad, zany riff on Sinatra type crooning, and the second is a kind of old time sea shanty. Morrison's father, after all, was an Admiral in the US Navy. Morrison often in his lyrics referred to the cleansing process of drowning yourself in some way. He was a wild one for sure, and he sailed too close to the edge and thus died aged just 27. drugs and alcohol abuse claimed many victims in that era. They're a very unique band, a kind of dark, baroque dark night of the soul, a carnival gone wrong vibe. The 6 studio records made with Morrison from 1967-71 still hold up well.
