Morse's arrival revitalised the band creatively, and in 1996 a new album titled "Purpendicular" was released, showing a wide variety of musical styles, though it never made chart success on the Billboard 200 in the US. The Mark VII line-up then released a new live album "Live at The Olympia '96" in 1997. With a revamped set list to tour, Deep Purple enjoyed successful tours throughout the rest of the 1990s, releasing the harder-sounding "Abandon" in 1998, and touring with renewed enthusiasm.
