“Essential listening if you’re a serious fan of Deep Purple, each track broken down in detail. Despite having listened to Purple and related bands for about 5 decades Scott is pointing out stuff I’d missed or not really paid attention to that actually really enhances my subsequent listening experience.”

“This is an essential listen for anyone interested in the history of Deep Purple. Scott takes an in-depth look at each studio recording ever made by the band and he never gets too technical whilst expertly picking apart each performance. His enthusiasm is really infectious and makes me want to go back and listen again to all that great music. A 5 star show !”

“Scott’s analysis of each of Deep Purple’s published tracks is a fabulous way to learn a little more about the band but a huge amount about the music of Deep Purple. This podcast is delivered using the same approach as his previous Uriah Heep Magician’s Podcast with a deep dive into the form, rhythm, melodies and technicalities of every song. It’s presented in a way that is easy to listen to and Scott’s enthusiasm for the music shines through. A spattering of special guests also helps to bring in a diverse view of various tracks. This podcast has opened up my ears to music I hadn’t previously heard or sought out such as the early “Mark I” releases even including Beatles covers. The Smoke on the Podcast is an amazing commitment and thoroughly enjoyable. This podcast is a worthy credit to the output of an amazing band and any Deep Purple’s fan would be sure to enjoy it.”

“This is my most listened show these days. As a DP fan since early 1990’s I just have to appreciate this kind of dedication. And yes – even if I wasn’t a fan, this would be much appreciated. Scott is recording ridiculous amount of episodes per week (I have to wonder how does he do that, mostly just by himself speaking alone) and altough I’ve followed quite constantly my Podcast feed – it seems like there’s always something new to listen to, or maybe listen again as I sometimes press play on bedtime. Which I generally don’t recommend as the Show is packed with energy and could lead up to the point you realize ”Oh, did I just consume 3 or 4 Scottcast episodes and…still awake wanting to well, having some more!”

So cool to have someone like Scott giving his synopsis of each Deep Purple tune. He explores the song bit by bit and points out undiscovered parts of the tune that the average Deep Purple fan had no idea about. You might not always agree with his views but that’s the beauty of music. Thank you for the show.
