They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5
Active compensatory factors: Paice Ashton Lord was a brief supergroup featuring Deep Purple band members Ian Paice and Jon Lord with singer Tony Ashton. Weirdly the band boasted two keyboardists and a drummer! They were supported by Bernie Marsden on guitar and Paul Martinez was the band's bassist.

Malice In Wonderland was their only album. It's been reissued a number of times with varying bonus tracks. My version is the one with 5 bonus live songs.
It sounds pretty good - it's impossible for Ian Paice to ever be anything but brilliant, but some of the songs are standard blues rock fare, and Tony Ashton is of the gruff blues shouter school. That said, the album gets better after repeat listens.
Where do they all belong? An interesting blind alley in Deep Purple land.
