Pure (No Angels Album)
Pure is the third studio album by German pop group No Angels, released by Polydor's subsidiary Cheyenne Records on August 25, 2003 (see 2003 in music) in German-speaking Europe. It features main production by Thorsten Brötzmann and Peter Ries, with additional contribution from Siedah Garrett, Perky Park, Nigel Rush, Twin, and band member Lucy Diakovska among others.
Recorded during Jessica Wahls' pregnancy break (she would officially leave the group prior the release), the album was the band's first studio release as a quartet and their final album before their disbandment in fall 2003. Upon its release, however, it became the No Angels' third consecutive chart-topper on the Germans Media Control albums chart, and peaked at number two and nine in Austria and Switzerland, respectively. Media reception for Pure was generally mixed, although it earned the group their strongest reviews yet.
Pure spawned three singles, including the band's fourth number-one hit "No Angel (It's All in Your Mind)", summer-lite "Someday" and Twin-produced "Feelgood Lies." It was eventually certified gold by the BVMI.

“That piecemeal peace is poor peace. What pure peace allows
Alarms of wars, the daunting wars, the death of it?”

Great be the manners, of the bard.
He shall not his brain encumber
With the coil of rhythm and number;
But, leaving rule and pale forethought,
He shall aye climb
For his rhyme.
