Another song is “Sparks Don’t Mean A Fire (No Time To Lose)”. This is the only song in “Cozy Tape”. This is a re-recording without changing the editing, just adjusting the volume, sound pressure, etc. with other songs. Still, it is much easier to listen to than past rough mixes, and the lyrics can be heard well. It has a degree of perfection that is comparable to the final version. We're gonna be rich!

Love’s No Friend” could be called Rainbow’s version of “Mistreated.” It has the melancholic, bluesy riff accompanied by a brilliant, soulful vocal performance from Bonnet. “Lost in Hollywood” is a great closer with a driving riff and vocals with a rapid vocal hook by Bonnet just before the chorus. The solo is what really shines on here though and if Ritchie just let it rip on the rest of this release; it could have been something special. out. Instead, some AOR-ish sounds (which I pretty much dislike) as "Since You Been Gone", "All Night Long". Poor music.

Down To Earth could be seen as something of a transitional album from the Dio-era to the Joe Lynn Turner-era. This often forgotten album falls somewhere between the two, both chronologically and in terms of value. There are still more than a few traces here of the brilliance displayed on the previous albums, and in terms of progressive nuances, Down To Earth is clearly much richer than the disastrous Joe Lynn Turner-era albums. sounds like they want to conquer new grounds, new fans, more comercial attitude, but as i said not really

Of course, even with that said, it’s also clear that it’s different from the final version. “The Steamer (Lost In Hollywood)” was unexpected that the intro tremolo was decided so cool, and “Once More With Feeling (All Night Long)” also had vocals, so the last sound rises The sharpness of the scene is vivid. Especially fresh is “The Plod (Makin’ Love)”. The arrangement that the vocal comes in immediately after the intro is new and natural. the song - eg. at the start of lyrical passage.

Philip Qvist: Okay let's get straight to the obvious; this is no Rising - but then again very few albums are. Another song with DOWN TO EARTH” was completed in this way, but it’s fresh and super cool! A tremendous impact from the first song “Stone (Bad Girl)”. It starts from the example count, but when Graham’s vocals ride on that rough and vivid performance, the degree of perfection explodes at once. It can be heard as a normal studio album. It seems that it will be established even if it is replaced with the final completed version. a b Pinfold, William (March 2011). "Rainbow - Down to Earth: Deluxe Edition". Record Collector (386) .

When I thought, “Is it over?”, the chorus resumed again, but the vocals were mixed here as well. It reproduces the playfulness of the studio, just like a rehearsal. Speaking of nifty mixes, “Lost In Hollywood” is also excellent. In the original take, the keyboard sounds with one chord for about 30 seconds near the last and it cuts off, but while covering the guitar solo here as well, the end is shredded according to the end of the tape. It is a finish that can only be thought that it was such a session from the beginning, and I am impressed by the enthusiastic love that pays attention to every detail. Pelle Andersson: I was very disappointed at first. I still think that Ritchie, Ronnie and Cozy had one or two good albums in them. On the other hand, Graham does a fine job, in the studio at least. I do not care too much about Since You' Been Gone, All Night Long and such but Danger Zone and a few other songs are good. Not a classic. Rainbow made better. Yes, the best ones during the Dio era but the sons are strong on one or two from the Lynn- Turner era, if one likes the more commercial era. odorous turd from its own banality.

If they were good enough, they'd still be in the band. I'm not putting down the other members who were in the band, but no-one has ever left Rainbow. It's a fact.
