Pure Nightnoise
Pure Nightnoise part of Windham Hill/Legacy s thoughtfully assembled Pure series, is less a best-of than an exercise in elevated listening. Skipping through the Irish jazz outfit's discography from its 1984 debut, Nightnoise to its sixth CD, A Different Shore released in 1995; these 16 tracks preserve the most memorable moments from the Billy Oskay era while also pointing up Nightnoise s flair for versatility within a consistently melodic, contemplative soundscape -- check the chamber music like "Fionnghuala" in comparison with the lullaby that is "Night in That Land." No selections from Nightnoise s 1997 disc, The White Horse Sessions are included, presumably because its live recordings work against the Pure aesthetic. But the disc amounts to an even-handed distillation anyway; a disc to think by. ~ Tammy La Gorce, All Music Guide
