PURE — Ification
More Info
"Mir ist PURE durch seine Releases auf Mego, Feld und dOc Recordings ein Begriff, andere kennen Peter Votava schon aus Ilsa-Gold-Zeiten, als Loop- und Sub/Version-Macher und Electronica-Veranstalter. Auf Ification (Crnica 038) schafft der Ex-Wiener und jetzige Berliner erneut mit drhnminimalistischen Mitteln sieben Soundscapes. Die lassen einen eintauchen in dark-ambiente Dunkelwolken (Blind Flight) oder lethargisch und wie unter einem Bann dahin driften durch eine Nacht, die kein gutes Ende verspricht (End). Iron Sky ringt mit zhen und drckenden Verstrickungen wie Laokoon mit den Schlangen, die fatalen Beats schlgt - wie auch bei After the Bomb - Martin Brandlmayr, die Stimme ist die der Bolzn-Screamerin Alexandra. Die hatte auch schon in der Geisterbahn von Sonomatopoeia gesthnt, zu giftigem Sirren, Theaterdonner und Gewummer, whrend die krachig verzerrten und gewellten Impulse des Auftakts Fire auf der Gitarre von C. de Babalon basieren. Die dystopische Melancholie von After the Bomb entsteht durch gedmpfte Drones, silbrig durchfunkelt, voller sirrender Frequenzen und mit dem fernen Nachhall von Sirenen und Gefechtslrm, den Brandlmayr mit Besenschlgen und Cymbalbeats andeutet. Approximation nhert sich mit dunklem Sthnen - wie von den Sirenen der Titanic oder Tubas des Jngsten Gerichts - und diskant schrillenden Strings, sprlich durchsetzt mit perkussiven Akzenten, dem Bereich der Klassik, mit offenbar ungescheutem pathetischen Effekt. Wer in Pures Elevator
Noir einsteigt, muss sich auf einen Trip ans dunkle Ende der Gefhlsskala gefasst machen." [Bad Alchemy]
"After more than ten CDs and several vinyls under different aliases, projects or collaborations that ranged a multitude of musical styles over the last 15 years, Pure's newest release is now proudly presented by Crnica. Three and a half years later than scheduled, and six years after his previous studio CD release Noonbugs on Mego, Pure returns with his fourth solo full-length album Ification the outcome of a long period of live work (documented in the first two volumes of the Home Is Where My Harddisk is series), residencies in France, with Johnny Dekam, where the Reqoil Displaced Peaceoff DVD was produced and collaborations the Heart Chamber Orchestra with Erich Berger, an audiovisual performance based on the heart-beats of an orchestra of 12 musicians. Ification presents a collection of seven highly diverse tracks that revolve around dense, filmic and eerie atmospheres, without ever drifting into obvious or simple harmonies. As in his previous work, Pure takes from music history whatever serves his narrative needs and appropriates it through his." [label info]
"Something entirely different is the latest album by Pure, from Vienna. He works under various guises, and this is fourth Pure CD, following 'Noonbugs' on Mego for four years ago. Seven pieces of electronic music, six of them recorded with the help of others, like Christoph de Babalon on guitar samples, Martin Brandlmayr on drums, the screams of Alexandra von Bolzn and Anke Eckardt on bass guitar. What Aubrey lacks in variation is made up here by Pure. The heavy start of 'Fire', into to post nuclear war zone with no survivors of 'After The Bomb' (an appropriate title), Pure takes the listener on a ride that ranges from subtleness to the utter crude, which ends with the nightmares of 'Iron Sky'. Excellent music for b-movies that deserve a-music. Certainly not always 'pleasant' in terms of nice background music for your living room, but unpleasant music to make your life a bit easier and less painful." [FdW, Vital Weekly]
