     │   Progressive didnÆt give birth to the mix-comp, but through the fabled    │
     │   likes of æNorthern ExposureÆ and æGlobal UndergroundÆ, it did elevate    │
     │   it to a higher form. With its eponymous album series, it is to these     │
     │   lofty heights that SolarstoneÆs Pure Progressive aspires. In order to    │
     │   reach them however, radical approaches have been required!               │
     │                                                                            │
     │   Mixcomps and albums are works of art and heart, which their creators     │
     │   can pour months, sometimes even years into. However, to pull both off    │
     │   simultaneously, and as a dual-release no less à well, that takes a       │
     │   special kind!                                                            │
     │                                                                            │
     │   It is one with precedent though, as both Orkidea and Forerunners have    │
     │   previously delivered (in 2020 and 2022respectively). Early last year,    │
     │   Solarstone laid the same challenge at the feet of another long-time      │
     │   musical likemind (and regular Pure Progressive contributor), Slam Duck.  │
     │                                                                            │
     │   Split between The Artist and The Mix discs, æPure Prog 3Æ divides in     │
     │   order to conquer!! The former sees Alexander æSlam DuckÆ Smirnov field   │
     │   an impressive ten new, previously unheard Slam Duck-ers. Meanwhile,      │
     │   drawn from the studios of Solarstone, Gundamea (aka Stoneface &      │
     │   Terminal), Clameres, Forerunners and others, the latter has Slam         │
     │   whipping 13 desk-hot cuts up into a formidable wall of progressive       │
     │   sound!                                                                   │

     │   After æSpace Trace IÆs intergalactic overture, The Artist supplies the   │
     │   deep space funk of æFragileÆ. With echoes of early Kleinenberg,          │
     │   æAfterglowÆ keeps the vibe flowing, while æFrazzledÆ balances out its    │
     │   rock-ish guitars with cursive synths. Quickening the pulse, æAn Ode To   │
     │   LoveÆ brings in melodic trance elements, while æAllureÆ pitches a        │
     │   mid-disc curveball, adding a quirkily offbeat breakbeat number to the    │
     │   album. Vocally, æPalmy DaysÆ is a call-back to the golden age of house,  │
     │   as guitar-jam and sunrise synths deliver its elevation. For those        │
     │   looking to add some thump to their prog, æPP3Æs got you covered, as      │
     │   closing act numbers æTrust MeÆ and æMiddle AgesÆ issue clear             │
     │   invitations to the dance!!                                               │
