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.

Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or angels:
“There seems to be a kind of order in the universe, in the movement of the stars and the turning of the earth and the changing of the seasons, and even in the cycle of human life. But human life itself is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own rights and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own.”
—Katherine Anne Porter (1890–1980)
“The angels are so enamored of the language that is spoken in heaven, that they will not distort their lips with the hissing and unmusical dialects of men, but speak their own, whether there be any who understand it or not.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
