The appearance of the album - the fourth long-playing record of the formation - once sparked a veritable hysteria. Anyone who was familiar with rock, hard rock or pop music had Progressive later, the vinyl disc in his collection. The cover was the identification. If it on the desk next to the turntables was chosen by the DJ was clear: equality is "Speed king", "Child in time" or "Flight of the rat" sound.
The '70s were also the most successful phase of the quintet and passed - more like the fly - so little noticed a music fan, that "Deep Purple" scam had been sucking at once.

The year 1981st The world was still manageable, the two power blocs, East and West faced each other - seen, at least ideologically - irreconcilable, West Germany was about her political meltdown, because the Oggersheimer "Bimber" Chancellor and pig's stomach, Dr. Fan Helmut Kohl was a knock at the doors of the Bonn Chancellery. The NDW and the neo-light-fun-faction young people tried, despite a further, severe economic crisis, act out their self-interest. The a-political morons from the "Popper" world were living with Dad "coal" on big feet, though she and many of their followers would have a rather small rolls to bake. During this time - at the start of dementia eighties, I went to a fellow student in Berlin.
It was FU-fete weekend. There, the quilted bear in Berlin. Live groups and pitched me people were soon forget. Drastic but an event in a typical scene of the FU-Bars was shortly after leaving the campus in the early morning hours.
The tiny restaurant was frequented more moderate. Behind the counter stood a long haired man - probably a student - and pretended to busy. He was bustling behind the counter up to and fro, gave out drinks and then allowed to pop the stereo system, in a volume, the Suns - almost fell off his ears - as hard rockers. A guest shouted several times "quiet" before he left the place unnerved.
boomed from the speakers the live play "Catch the rainbow", just by "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow." A crashing sound, although the title begins rather shallow:
When Evening Falls
She'll run to me Like whispered dreams
Your eyes can not see
Soft and warm She'll touch my face
A bed of straw Against the lace
* We believed we'd catch the rainbow Ride the wind
to the sun Sail away on ships
of wonder But life's not a wheel With chains made of steel
Sun bless me come the dawn Come the dawn
