For:Fans of Ian Gillan, Deep Purple, classic hard rock and solo-album listeners

 Essential features of the long-playing album are the ethnic atmospheres that pervade all the compositions more or less evidently and top-level lyrics (contrary to what we are used to, especially in episodes of purple memory) narrated by a seductive voice that does not try to emulate past glories but wisely relies on its still enviable timbre.
