| | Roger Glover : Elements - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | Former Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover's first true solo album is an ambitious concept built around the properties and powers of the four elements -- earth, wind, water, and fire -- with the four principle tracks dedicated to each one in turn. |
 | | Recorded with the Munich Philharmonic, plus an impressive arsenal of keyboards, percussion, and wind, the sound of the album is vast, yet never so prepossessing as to leave the listener feeling at all alienated by another ham-fisted attempt to meld rock with the classics. |
 | | To dwell on such reference points, however, is to wholly overlook the sheer originality, excitement, and overall exuberance that is the hallmark of Elements. |
