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.<\/p>\n
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. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore has said much of it was re-recorded. Gillan has remarked on how strained relations within the band compromised the album: “I look back at House Of Blue Light, there are some good songs on that record, but there\u2019s something missing in the overall album. I can\u2019t feel the spirit of this band. I can see or hear five professionals doing their best, but it\u2019s like a football team, it\u2019s not functioning. It\u2019s like eleven superstars that are playing on the same field but are not connected by the heart or by the spirit”. Added organist Jon Lord, “We made the massive mistake of trying to make our music current. We discovered that people didn’t want us to do that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
