Yikes. Hmm.... If you want something that's more cold, go with Phaedra or Rubycon (Rubycon being slightly lighter). It's still extremely emotional though (in a good way); that's just the best way I can describe it.

Stratosfear continues from what those two albums established, only it makes it a bit more melodic and Symphonic. You can almost tell what the music is going to feel like though from the covers for these albums especially, and this is no exception.

Force Majeure has some of Froese's best guitar work, and the pieces are very good there too.

If you want something completely different... a bit more modern and accessible, try Underwater Sunlight. For me it's really good, but not AS good as the other ones---it makes up for that in accessibility though.

There are a few others that would be good too: Tangram, Logos, Poland.

My favorite album is probably Demons and Wizards. You got the Heep, but not the Purps!? Anyways, glad you like Heep at least I'm an absolute Deep Purple n00b. I figure I'll get an album one day, but they have never really attracted me at all. I'm not into that sort of music as much as I used to be, and even then I was never too much into Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, etc. When it comes to the heavier stuff, I like Rush, Porcupine Tree, Mars Volta, etc. If I do ever get one DP album though, which do you think I should get? It seems you prefer the guitar-oriente heavy stuff, rather than organ-oriented heavy stuff... Hmm... maybe... Never thought about it that way. ONE?! Come on Alex, you know that's an impossible answer, it's if I were to ask you which album of Rush should I buy, but I'll buy only one... Haha, that's true. Okay. Where should I start? Hmm... Have you heard the different singers? At least Coverdale and Gillan? If so, which do you prefer It makes it a lot easier... I have no idea, haha.

I would say like Finnforest said, Made in Japan, it captures their whole live hype, and a good bunch of classics are there.
Not sure if the double-disc is expensive or not, or the other way round, the single-disc, though. Buy the cheapest, they're really the same
