Purpendicular is the fifteenth studio album by the British hard rock band, Deep Purple. Recorded at Greg Rike Productions, Orlando, Florida, February to October 1995, engineered by Darren Schneider and Keith Andrews.
It was released in 1996 and it's their first album with Steve Morse, former guitarist of Dixie Dregs. It has a more experimental feel than previous albums, "The Aviator" has an arrangement unlike anything else the band has previously attempted, for example. "Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming" and "Ted the Mechanic" remained regular features in Deep Purple's live setlist in recent tours.
