Title Description:
Pure, as half of Ilsa Gold, made a conspicuous debut in the early 90s rave scene and then managed to trash the culture in a most ungracious way before making a quick exit.Ê For this reason, it's always interesting to wonder what he might have taken along with him from that tradition as he left Ð and then to speculate as to what his work might sound like if he hadn't taken such a willful turn away from techno.Ê A helpful clue when listening to his current work, however, is to think of the space exploration aspect of, for instance, Underground Resistance, rather than the dance aspect; and then, it also helps to factor in a certain mitteleuropŠische gravitas present in Pure's music.
Within Pure's work, "home is where my harddisc is Vol.II" will prove to be crucial:Ê made up of two live performances only 9 days apart and in very different locations (Brussels, Winnipeg), it presents an exciting new chapter in his artistic development.
While the Winnipeg track continues along the lines of his more recent recordings (e.g. Noonbugs on Mego), it stands as a fine culmination of this particular phase of creativity.Ê In its single-minded resolve Ð for instance, the long, penetrating tones that slowly interact and mutate Ð the performance also compares quite favorably to pieces by his various Japanese counterparts.Ê In this respect, Pure's ear has never been better at exploring, and elaborating on, just the right transcendent frequency.
