Customer Reviews

Neglected gems
This package contains some wonderful material from two unjustly neglected albums. True, some songs are stronger than others but there is not one single duff track on either of these CDs. And if the albums were not commercially successful that tells us more about the music buying public than the sincerity and skill of the artist.

Pure and Breathe
This double package is excellent value. So good to catch up on these two albums after missing out on them when they were originally released. Some good stuff on here.

Where it all started to go wrong
Pure and Breathe tell you why Midge Ure's solo career nose-dived after the dizzy heights of success with Ultravox and his first solo outings. By the time they were released - in 1991 and 1996 respectively - the charts had moved on, but Midge was left behind sounding like something from the early eighties. "Pure" contains pleasant enough material, but boy is it dated, and clunky in places. "Breathe" continues the theme, and the reissue is appallingly re-mastered, Ure sounds like he's singing in a different room from the musicians on most of the tracks.

But it's not all bad. The extra tracks show what was to come from the ruins of electro pop. The solo live tracks are excellent - and if anything Midge Ure has gone to become a much stronger singer and performer with his live accoustic shows. Fair play to the man - he's a musical survivor and a great talent, but these re-releases tell their own story in terms of why the two albums never did great things in terms of sales.
