Interview with

Jesse Short and Greh Holger from Pure Ground

PURE GROUND is a duo based in Los Angeles, consisting of Greh Holger (also boss of the Chondritic Sound label) and Jesse Short (also in Brotman & Short). They are one of the most promising acts for the moment as they have created a style of their own that you could describe as minimal / body / industrial / power electronic music. They have released two cassettes, two 7”, one VHS tape and one compilation vinyl LP. Reflections of Darkness caught up with them in Brussels, the day after the concert they held at the Fantastique Night. Michael Thiel, aka Weyrd Son (from Weyrd Son Records), who helped to organize the interview, was also present.

Interview with

Mark Burgess (vocals) from The Chameleons Vox

Unfortunately, the band called it quits in 1987, after the death of their manager Tony Fletcher.
