2 out of 5 stars Sounds dated now........2007-04-30

I just went through an Ian Gillan listening fest, and ended it with "Accidentally on Purpose." I bought this when it came out, and didn't think too much of it then. Upon listening to it now, after several hours of Gillan's solo work and "Born Again," his great album with Black Sabbath from 1983, I have to say that I was completely underwhelmed. "Accidentally on Purpose" has that "worst of the eighties" keyboard sound that has not aged well over the last nineteen years. If you want an excellent Ian Gillan vocal performance and have all the Deep Purple he was on, I suggest you purchase Glory Road an exceptional record or the afore mentioned Born Again It received two stars because it is still Gillan doing the vocals, but song-wise, music-wise, it isn't worth one star.

5 out of 5 stars YOU MUST BUY THIS ALBUM.......2005-06-29

It didn't take much convincing for me to buy this CD since I've been a Deep Purple fan since the early 70's, but I was blown away by these songs. I love each and every one of them and often listen to the CD over and over again before switching to something else. If you like anything by Deep Purple, or any of the solo albums that the various members have released, you will absolutely love Accidentally on Purpose.

5 out of 5 stars One of my favorite albums of all-time!.......2004-10-04

I've had this album since 1988 and recently purchased this new "expanded" edition. I have over 3000 cds and this is definately in my top 10. If you're a Deep Purple fan you may or may not enjoy this album - it's more adult contemporary than hard rock. But if your tastes are a bit more varied this is a great album and one of the most over-looked albums of the 80s.

Inspired by the recording studio on the island of Monserat, the songs on this album show a great variety and the talent of Ian gillan and Roger Glover. It's a great "summer" album and a lot of fun. Highly recommended!!

2 out of 5 stars It's different from Deep Purple.......2003-05-16

The reason why Ian Gillan and Roger Glover choose to record an album on their own was probably due to the character of the songs, i.e. they didn't fit Deep Purple. This album is a bit uneven but it's pleasantly diverse. The opening "Clouds and rain" is the highlight and a very strong song. "She took my breath away" is a quiet and laid back number where Gillan's voice is in focus, and also one of the finer moments on the album. But if you're looking for real hard rocking tracks you better look elsewhere, even if Gillan & Glover have thrown in some decent but rather average rockers. Some of the songs are a bit odd and very hard to categorize in a certain genre. Even if bits and pieces are very good and the mentioned "Clods and rain" is great, I can't give this effort any higher rating than 2 stars - but that doesn't mean it's worthless.
