A musical biography telling the incredible story of the making of the Deep Purple album "Machine Head". The album that produced the rock masterpiece "Smoke On The Water" and in 1972 brought worldwide superstardom to Deep Purple putting them at the
pinnacle of seventies hard rock.
After the success of "In Rock" and "Fireball" the band decided on a European location to record their next album. They chose the Casino in Montreux in Switzerlan only to see it burn down the night before recording was due to begin. Out of the ashes of the Casino
however was to come their most memorable song and their most successful album ever. With smoke literally wafting over the water of Lake Geneva the band took up residence on the Grand Hotel and in the swiftly converted corridors and cupboards of the deserted hotel recorded the
album that was to become their tour de france.
In exclusive interviews with Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice we take a track by track look at the making of the album. Martin Birch the original engineer and Roger Glover lead us through the original multitrack tapes. Ritchie, Jon und Roger demonstrate
riffs and licks from the songs and explain the genesis of the songwriting.
The programme is illustrated by archive footage from Deep Purple in concert including very rare American footage of "Smoke On The Water" and "Space Truckin", TV performances and promotional videos, and provides a unique insight into making of a record which is
universally claimed as one of the most influential and successful hard rock masterpieces of the early seventies. A true classic album.
Featuring Cuts from:
- Highway Star
- Smoke On The Water
- Space Truckin
- Never Befor
- Picture Of Home
- When A Blind Man Cries

Diese ?zeugende Dokumentation zeichnet auf unterhaltsame und spannende Weise die Entstehung des bahnbrechenden Deep-Purple-Albums Machine Head von 1971 nach. Der besondere Reiz liegt hierbei in der Tatsache, dass die Geschichte um dieses Album von den Band-Mitgliedern und dem Band-Umfeld selbst erz?t wird. Eine anerkennenswerte Leistung, bedenkt man, dass diese wohl legend?te Besetzung (Mark 2) von Deep Purple untereinander stark zerstritten ist. So erz?t Ritchie Blackmore seine Sicht der Dinge auch stilecht in Spielmannskleidung, umgeben von alten Schlossmauern, John Lord sitzt hingegen an seiner alten Hammond-Orgel und Roger Glover vor den Reglern eines Mischpults. Im Zusammenhang ergibt sich dennoch eine stimmige, beinahe schon wehm?e R?chau auf die Entstehung dieses Meilensteins der Rock-Musik, der zusammen mit Black Sabbaths Paranoid und Led Zeppelins viertem Album den britischen Hardrock der fr? 70er-Jahre neu definierte.
