Bananas is the 17th studio album by English rock band Deep Purple,[2] released on October 7, 2003.[3] It includes "Contact Lost", a short, slow instrumental about the Columbia astronauts, written by guitarist Steve Morse when he heard the sad news of the crash.[4]

This is the first Deep Purple album to feature Don Airey on the keyboards, replacing founding member Jon Lord.[5] The album was recorded in Los Angeles during January and February 2003.[2]

It is also notable as being the only Deep Purple album that features Ian Gillan being backed by vocals other than his own, with the song "Haunted" featuring a female backing singer, Beth Hart.
