Hi everyone, this is the last part of my Crónica review series (for now). Today I’m putting the focus on this 2008 album by Pure called Ification. The album is again presented in the same 16-bit/44.1kHz sound quality as the physical CD release and includes the album cover in good resolution and PDF file with …

From Crónica Electronica come ten new reinterpretations, reflecting on “the end of vinyl or the end of the worldâ€. Although there is some underlying thematic irony here, the Portuguese label has maintained its customary formal accuracy and clarity of aims with this release, thanks in part to Pure and Miguel Carvalhais. Both have been active …
Pure I believe was this electronic extremist who did stuff for Mego and attained notoriety for sampling the run-out grooves of vinyl records to create his very austere digital music. He’s still milking the “end of vinyl†concept apparently, since on No End Of Vinyl (CRÓNICA 079-2013) he’s enlisted ten prominent electronica creators to contribute …

DJ Pure greift sein erstes, komplett digital produziertes und 1999 auf Mego veröffentlichtes Album »the.end.of.vinyl« wieder auf. Dazu hat er zehn KünstlerInnen eingeladen, die Stücke von damals neu zu interpretieren.

13 years ago, Mego label released Pure’s the.end.of.vinyl on a 3†CD. The release marked a shift in Pure’s sound from more dancefloor-oriented productions toward something more abstract and experimental. Ironically, the release was pressed on CD because it was the prevalent format at the time; the name describes the techniques used to create the …

Fourteen years after Vienna-based Mego released “The End of Vinyl” by Austrian dynamic producer Peter Votava aka Pure on 3″ cd, someone could think that its sibylline prediction could be better spot-on if it were called “the.agony.of.vinyl”, so that Cronica folks decided to fishes it out from the ocean of sonic memories by involving a …

The End Of Vinyl fu il primo disco in cui Peter Votava aka Pure abbandonava il mondo della techno da club per cercare di condurre la sua musica verso nuovi orizzonti. Per omaggiare la sua opera, l’etichetta portoghese Crónica chiama un cast di propri scudieri e grandi nomi a rimettere mano ad una selezione di …
