Out for some time now but somehow fallen through the informational cracks, “De La Frog Conspiracy” is a new album, a concept one, by original DEEP PURPLE bassist Nick Simper and Austrian band NASTY HABITS with whom he issued a live record back in 2012. But while that was a DP covers set, this one comprises new songs – the first from Nick since his involvement in QUATERMASS II, alongside Mick Underwood – although “Slinky Models” may be an upgrade of “Slinky” from the concert CD.
Simper and HABITS even played a one-off gig together, thus setting hope that their 2013 farewell tour could be continued. Meanwhile, here’s what lies behind the “Conspiracy.”
