Lots of commenters refer to the „flute“ in this classic. I actually never thought of a flute but rather of a sampled scream of an Orca.
-
Not here to write about this track, which is peerless, but about the club which borrowed it’s name from it, Pure, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Which was also peerless. Mainly because of the artistry of Keith McIvor, DJ Twitch. But also because of the Venue (“the club with no furniture”), the lighting, the crowd- a family of zealots, akin to a friendly cult... if you were there at that time, it has probably moulded your life since. Derrick May thought it the best club in Europe. So did we.

Like many here, the flute has magical dark power that triggers ethereal memories from a misspent youth, something ancient, absolutely fantastical & unmatched by anything. It's only from hearing so many years later that I realise this wasn't just good, it is absolute spellbinding genius.

Massive tune. Caned for many years beyond its 1990 release, and for obvious reason. The following comment from a previous reviewer captures the beauty of MIDI programming, the subtle but powerful effect that MIDI timing / hardware sequencing had on tracks from that vintage period, and why current producers are going back to hardware.,.. "BUT! there is something about that beat and hi-hat combination that I really don't like. It has obviously been programmed that way on purpose but it sounds likesomebody has squashed it with their foot before it has had the chance to beat properly and that hi-hat that sits on the end of that beat and has a similar fate. OK if you take strong hallucinogenics I suppose. Hey maybe thats what GTO were doing and decided it sounded okay. It certainly did to me back then...." Oh yeah!

Edited 9 years agoIn truth, the house/rave scene would have probably died of malnutrition unless Industrial music had lent it it's teeth...Greater Than One (GTO), Cabaret Voltaire, Psychic TV, Meat Beat Manifesto, Nitzer Ebb, Front 242 gave a grave master's voice to something that should be taken seriously. Vice in versa, the rave scene blew industry a reason to live. Industrial heads stepped from darkness into lights and lasers and likewise bladder boys shifted beer guts for basses n' bleeps...This track was a litmus test, alkali or acid, it all was positive. No more brooding, no more lurking...I love you, I want to eat your soul.

Edited 12 years agonot easy to discribe the pictures and emeotions which come into my mind, if i listen to this record now. i remeber listening to it teh first time at the efa distribution and uwe reineke played it to me and has been a musicaly revolution and elevation of electronic dance music in 1990. to me lee and michael stand out very much with their electronic music productions in general. this track was very big in berlin 1991 in the early techno days in berlin after the wall came down and new space became ours to fill with our sound systems and energy. thank you g.t.o.
