Paice, Ashton & Lord - Malice In Wonderland (Ex-Deep Purple `77)

Search for test78 to find my other uploads. Mid '70s supergroup featuring Tony Asheton on vocals & organ and two Deep Purple members, keyboardist Jon Lord and drummer Ian Paice. Dont expect this to sound like Deep Purple - its way more funky/jazz/soul then that. Hm, well, actually it does remind me a bit of "Come Taste The Band". Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide: The Deep Purple spin-off project Paice Ashton Lord were formed by ex-Deep Purplers Ian Paice (drums) and Jon Lord (organ) with Tony Ashton, who had been in the Remo Four during the British Invasion era and then in Ashton, Gardner & Dyke (famous for "Resurrection Shuffle"). When they got together in mid-1976, Deep Purple had just broken up; for the sole Paice Ashton Lord album, the sound was filled out by guitarist Bernie Marsden and bassist Paul Martinez. That LP, Malice in Wonderland, was not nearly as heavy as Deep Purple had been, though it still owed much to mainstream British hard rock. However, there was a fair amount of jazz influence in the arrangements (which sometimes included brass) and some soul ingredients to the songwriting. All of this didn't add up to anything more than an average mid-'70s rock album, the kind you could have heard as filler on numerous AOR-oriented FM stations at the time. You didn't, though, since the album didn't sell much, and Paice Ashton Lord disbanded, although they did start work on a second LP. 192kbs Tracklist: 1. Ghost Story 2. Remember the Good Times 3.
