Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Deep Purple bassist steps far away from heavy rock on this conceptual solo outing focused on the classical four elements. 'Elements' boasts a lush, synthesizer-driven symphonic progressive sound, heavily utilizing the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra to craft a calm, cinematic listening experience.
