...Blackmore seems more inclined than before to plug his guitar in, while the music is still far from his work with Deep Purple there are more similarities at times with some of Rainbows softer pieces With no less than 16 tracks, the longest of which is around 7½ minutes, there is strong evidence that both Blackmore and Night remain as inspired...

...Blackmore solo album? Another Elf album? Well... All of this is in my head this 'Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow The songs are good, also if not perfect, cause that this album is only another Elf album with another axeman. 'Man On The Silver Mountain', 'Self Portrait', 'Black Sheep Of The Family', 'Catch The Rainbow', 'The Temple Of The King' and...

2008-05-09 03:52:08 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Blackmore's Night consolidate and develop the relatively harder and more progressive edge introduced on the previous Fires at Midnight two years previously. Once again, Ritchie is more inclined to plug his guitar in from time to time, adding some truly fixating colours to many of the tracks. The atmosphere remains rooted in the mediaeval folk...

...Blackmore's Night's sixth studio album (excluding the seasonal release "Winter carols"). The moody sleeve illustration suggests an intention from the outset to create something both darker and perhaps harder this time around, an objective which is resoundingly fulfilled Once again, many of the tracks are based on traditional songs, but the...

...Blackmore name made my mind harbor ideas of fast guitars, heavy riffs and amazing solos. I read and I learned with surprise that this music belonged to the folk genre. But until I actually heard the record, I didnt know how folk it really was And its definitely a folk album more than a rock album. Most, if not all of the songs, are based on...

BLACKMORE'S NIGHT - Under a Violet Moon (1999)

2008-10-15 21:15:03 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Blackmore and his wife, the lovely Candice Night, is not really par to their startling debut, Shadow Of The Moon. I see it as even a step backwards for much of it resembles the weakest parts of SOTM. Not that Under A Violet Moon (see teh connection?) does not has its merits. Some songs are really good, like the title track, the hauting...
