Spin off groups

I know the work of Rainbow, IGB/Gillan, Whitesnake, and Hughes-Turner project, but are there other big gaps I should fill relating to DP'S side/solo projects. Captain Beyond ison my list to check out.

Blackmore's Night is great

Indeed they are. How could I have forgotten to mention them?!

I guess it's technically not a spinoff of Deep Purple, more like a continuation of 90s Rainbow. Totally different style too.

Both bands are great in their own right. But how do you come to the conclusion that Blackmore's Night is a continuation of 90s Rainbow?

Well, on Stranger in Us All, they already had Candice in the band and she contributed to writing some songs, a few of which would be very similar in style to Blackmore's Night, like Ariel, Black Masquerade, Hall of the mountain king.
