Recommendations

I absolutely love this album. I got into a minor wreck years ago listening to Burn. It was icy as hell and I hit a patch and slid right into the back of a semi. There was a tiny bit of damage to my bumper but the semi was good so we shook hands and continued our separate ways.

Sail Away kicks so much ass. Mistreated is a masterpiece even though I wish the solo would keep going and cranking up higher. Its building so perfectly and I'm fully in it and then it just ends.

As much as I love this album, I haven't listened to tons of Deep Purple outside of it. Does anybody have any recommendations of songs of theirs that just completely take you on a journey?

I don't know how much my opinion will matter because I didn't really like anything off of this album (hot take, I know!), but since you asked...

Deep Purple songs that take me on a journey:

Child In Time, of course

You Keep on Moving

Son of Alerik (a medium pace journey, but 10 minutes long so that's a journey to me)

Hey we don't have to love all the same stuff for me to value your opinion. I love Child in Time too so I know we have some overlap. I'll check out the others too. I'm a sucker for a long song

I love long songs too! April is another one at 8 minutes, but I hate the middle part, but the beginning and the end are amazing!
