One Track Mind: The Creation, “How Does It Feel To Feel/Life Is Just Beginning” (1967)

Our music is red with purple flashes, declared this British band, and such a description is highly accurate.

After losing founding member Jon Lord, Deep Purple emerged with the twilit reverie of “All the Time in the World,” a ruminative song that spoke to passages. With “Hell To Pay,” however, they return to the locomotive glories of the band’s youth. You May Also Like: Deep Purple – InFiniteRead More

Postal Service – Turn Around (2013): One Track Mind
