From the avant-funk of the Golden Palominos' debut onward, each edition of the band has explored styles ranging from Hoboken-style guitar jangle (VISIONS OF EXCESS, BLAST OF SILENCE), to proto-alt country (A DEAD HORSE), to cinematic trip-hop (THIS IS HOW IT FEELS). 1994's PURE continues this trend, this time exploring the then-new field of electronica.
More smoothly poppy than any previous Palominos album, these songs, featuring Lori Carson's exquisitely sexy voice, are gentler than titles like "Gun," "No Skin," and "Little Suicides" would lead you to believe. Lazy beats and sensuous floats of melody are key to these languorous, lengthy tunes. Perfect as a bliss-out disc or for more active pursuits, PURE is an album that fans of both the Palominos' wide ranging other work and other electronica acts can get behind.
This version of Pure has a plain cover.

Q (12/94, p.133) - 3 Stars - Good - "...Driven by an incongruous audio cocktail of pristine melodies and heavyweight sub-sonic hip hop beats, Golden Palominos hit an entrancing slow electric dance groove...fruitful and invigorating...crossover success beckons."
Option (5-6/95, pp.104-105) - "...on PURE they glide and flow. The effect is like a perfect hour's nap in a warm bubble bath..."
