About this album Machine Head is Deep Purple’s hard rock landmark, a lean, powerful album that helped define the genre’s blueprint in 1972. Recorded in Montreux, Switzerland, and produced by the band with engineer Martin Birch, it distils the group’s live force into a tightly focused studio set built on riff power, organ fire and extended instrumental attack. Smoke on the Water became one of rock’s most recognisable songs, while Highway Star and Space Truckin’ show the band at full throttle. Its influence on hard rock and heavy metal has endured for decades, making it one of Deep Purple’s essential statements.
