Various Artists - Guitar Legends (2016)

The Battle Rages On is the fourteenth studio album by the British hard rock band Deep Purple. It is the last album recorded with the band's classic Mk II line-up reunited for a second time. Since Ian Gillan returned to the band, he reworked much of the material already existing for the album. Surfing with the Alien belongs to its era like Are You Experienced belongs to its own perhaps it doesnt transcend its time the way the Jimi Hendrix Experiences debut does, but Joe Satrianis breakthrough can be seen as the gold standard for guitar playing of the mid- to late 80s. The original lineup of the group evolved from an earlier Los Angeles band the Red Roosters, Mark Andes, and Jay Ferguson . With the addition of California's stepfather Ed Cassidy and keyboard player John Locke, the new band was originally named the Spirits Rebellious but was soon shortened simply to Spirit.
