The broad roster of artists under the Universal Music umbrella -- thanks to
record company merger mania -- has enabled a slew of mid-line-priced 20th
Century Masters - The Millennium Collection titles. In some cases, such as Steve
Winwoods, its a unique volume. For others, such as Rainbow, its a sensible
purchase for budget-minded casual fans, but more complete one-CD retrospectives
exist. Deep Purple hasnt truly received the widespread critical respect it
deserves as a pioneering heavy metal band, so its no surprise that guitarist
Ritchie Blackmores Rainbow isnt fully appreciated either. No consecutive studio
albums bore the same lineup, so continuity cant be considered one of Rainbows
virtues. But from the progressive heavy metal, mid-70s Ronnie James Dio era to
the calculated, radio-friendly, early-80s Joe Lynn Turner era, the band created
many excellent songs and foreshadowed the mid-80s pop/metal boom. Rainbows three
best-known songs -- Since You Been Gone (with Graham Bonnets throat-bursting
vocals), Stone Cold, and Street of Dreams -- are featured on 20th Century
Masters - The Millennium Collection. All three were modest hit singles, but only
Stone Cold made the Top 40. Man on the Silver Mountain should also be
recognizable to fans of classic rock radio. The beautifully hypnotic Catch the
Rainbow and bombastic, strings-enriched epic Stargazer are other highlights. The
menacing Kill the King, supple Rainbow Eyes, 13-minute live version of Deep
Purples blues showcase Mistreated, and catchy I Surrender are treats too. (Since
You Been Gone and I Surrender were both penned by Argent veteran Russ Ballard.)
Although 1997s stunning The Very Best of Rainbow is the definitive compilation,
the generous 11-song, 66-minute 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection
certainly has its own virtues.
