Some people say about the group, probably with some justification, that we don't seem to have progressed very far since 'Deep Purple In Rock', though certainly inwardly each musician has progressed enormously-the writing talents have improved, our way of working together has improved, and we've got a much better working relationship between ourselves and with an audience. But where some of that justification lies is in the fact that we haven't really deviated from the very set line, and I think it's time we started to shoot for the stars a little bit more."

In other words, having consolidated heir position as a tight, heavy rock band, it was time to be a little more adventurous."My feeling has always been that with our tempos- the speeds we use and the kind of rhythms we choose for our numbers, could be a little more inventive. I think we've sometimes underestimated the ability of our audience - the people that like us - to accept something a little bit more. Just because people like 'Hard Rock', unquote, it doesn't mean it has to be in 4/4 or a shuffle.

"The talents of the band are equal to far more than we're doing, while not putting down what we've done on the last three albums, and we've learnt a lot in that time. But I think we could now extend our boundaries a little bit. That doesn't mean that we should do something in 5/4 just for the sake of doing it in 5/4, but we shouldn't throw out the possibility of using different times and styles, bent to our own style.

So for him, whatever promotion and things the pop business gets up to, the music will out in the end? "I think it's the only thing that's got to matter in the end. On the rare occasions when we have over-concerned ourselves with extra-musical considerations, I think we've taken a little tumble. You know, when we've let ourselves be-coerced or coerced ourselves into doing things just because they'd be good for our career, I've often found that because it's either destroyed something we've been trying to build up musically, or it's destroyed someone's confidence in you because you've gone against a couple of principles they admired you for, it's in actual fact not helped our career. So I like to think of the music, and everything we do going towards that, and our performance on stage, and try not to be involved in anything else.
