PURE-H
| SIGNIA
A label with ideas and innovative musical
views. The result is a fantastic album with
dark and colourful like a butterfly. An innovative
and bewitching album; with a deep atmosphere.
A must have!
(Cuemix
Magazine)
From IDM to industrial to electronica to drum
& bass and so on and so forth, Signia
is a good example that great minds don't always
think alike.
(ReGen
Magazine)
On Signia we are dealing with
a musical expression of truly renewing free
minds.
(Compulsion)
Eden izmed najboljših izdelkov
letošnjega leta. Zveni moderno, eklekticno,
cvrsto. 10 modernih produkcij, skoordiniranih
iz naše majhne dravice.
(Rockonnet)
The
label (or the band) chose the top notch of
genre's artists to remix that track. They
expanded, liquefied, raped the original track
turning it into an ambient, industrial, dub,
guitar i.d.m., experimental electronica, jazzy
ambient track.

Wer von dem ganzen "Mainstreamdreck"
die Nase gestrichen voll hat, sollte diesem
Album "Signia" von Pure H sein Gehör

stressigen Alltagsleben bestens geeignet!

Un CD consigliato a chi vuole scoprire il
presente e il futuro dell’etichetta,
coadiuvato dalla presenza di importanti nomi
della scena elettronica, i quali fanno da
garanti per la qualità del lavoro di
Pureh e della label slovena a lui legata.
(Twilight
Zone)
Un disco notevole, sonorità scure e
inquietanti quasi una colonna sonora spettrale
per incubi terrorizzanti.
(Ultrasonica)
The noisy beast from legendary Japanese
Noise-artist KK Null makes sure that the listener
will not leave the 77 minutes tribute without
ear pain, an awesome ambient noise-track and
a great way of closing this very interesting
compilation.
(Vital
Weekly)
Pureh has chosen to seamlessly blend the tracks
on "Signia," in so doing creating
a kind of meta-remix of melted partitions
and fused components, or perhaps even an inauguration
of the end of "Signia" history in
the present moment
(Conexxion
Bizzare)
Each piece seamlessly flows into the next,
turning the album into a 76-minute, one-way
trip to Hades.
(Textura)
Hier ist die Schnittstelle zwischen Hochkultur
und Popkultur in diesem Werk vereint.
(Elektrauma)
Freunde jedweder elektronischer Musik dürfen
aber in jedem Fall zugreifen, finden dürfte
sich für jeden Geschmack etwas.
(Metal.de)
Hrabra slovenska eksperimentiranja, sve u
svemu, vrlo eksperimentalna glazba koja se
baš ne moe slušati u bilo
koje doba dana.
(Muzika)
Ne znam dal je ulazak u europsku uniju imao
kakvih utjecaja na ovu slovensku skupinu,
no, ovo je album na europskom nivou, ako vec
ne na svjetskom.
(Terapija)
Un’ora sedici minuti e ventitre secondi
da scoprire. Consigliato ad orecchie attente
e pretenziose, abituate al risvolto più
cupo dello sperimentalismo.
(Dside)
Revisiting one track off of their “Anadonia”,
“Signia” is simply a stunning
showing of how diverse the electronic world
of music truly is. Perfect.
(Smother)
I like the cold and groovy opening “Vision
Rising”-cut remixed by Eraldo Bernocchi
and the heavier and industrial sounding “Enslaved
Population” remixed by DJ Surgeon.
(Side-line)
Qui siamo di fronte ad autentiche manipolazioni
sonore di musica che già in origine
esce dagli schemi, ed il risultato è
pertanto consigliabile quasi esclusivamente
ai cultori dei nomi coinvolti ed agli 'psiconauti'
più avventurosi, nonché agli
amanti della sperimentazione sonora di qualità.
(Darkroom)
Really there is never a dull moment in through
out it’s 77 minutes running time and
it all seems to fit together perfectly the
tracks sequenced for ultimate effect and atmosphere.
(Judass
Kiss)
Signia is quite Laswellian release without
Laswell being involved, but likely to appeal
to those into the ambient dub output by the
man, but in spite of its global nature there's
no world influence as such.
(Musique
Machine)
Et l'inconvénient pressenti, de devenir
un véritable avantage, quand après
plusieurs écoutes, on finit face à
cette conception de l'électro, qu'on
aime retrouver : plurielle et innovante. L'effet
"bordélique" évité,
et mis de côté quelques longueurs,
on peut reconnaître là une réelle
réussite.
(Dmute)
Que dan precisamente un cierre de excepción
a ésta recopilación llevándonos
en el aire a un fluído momento de libertad
que hace despertar nuestras conciencias con
ciertos peaks para llevarnos a la perdición
y oscuridad mas profunda. Un disco interesante
que no deja de sorprender y que puede aportar
nuevas vistas a los que siguen éste
estilo de música.
(Sonidobscuro)
Signia ist bestimmt nicht die CD die ich jeden
Tag hören möchte, doch es gibt so
gewisse Momente wo sie genau passt.Wer keine
Berührungsängste mit Ambient hat,
darf hier getrost ein Ohr riskieren.
(Uselinks)
Anyone who was listening to music of that
ilk in the mid to late '90s (led by prolific
artists such as Bill Laswell, Mick Harris,
and Justin Broadrick) will recall names like
Eraldo Bernocchi, P.C.M., D.J. Surgeon, and
K.K. Null, who all appear on here.
(Brainwashed)
The interpretations have been
approached from various different genres such
as industrial noise, isolationist ambient,
dub and drum ‘n bass with heavy basslines,
percussion and guitar drones as reoccurring
sounds.
(Gothtronic)
Organic and beautiful complex experimental
things, which combine the elements of rather
gloomy futuristic or mystical ambiental, rhythmical
strokings.
(Machinist
Music)
Compositions are built so that each subsequent
track is even more shizoid than previous.
(Stigmata)
Signia ist ein hörbares aber verqueres
Album, welches seine Zeit benötigt, um
das eine oder andere individuelle Highlight
zu finden.
(Medienkonverter)
Sliced and diced vocal snippets and crackling
glitches emanate from a cauldron of horror
movie strings - then give way to lurching,
tribal loops with shrieking and chanting circling
above.
