Pure Onyx -ongoing- - Version- 0.108.0 -
Conclusion Pure Onyx — Ongoing — Version 0.108.0 reads as a thoughtful balance between craft and motion. Its naming and versioning encode a philosophy: beauty in restraint, humility in iteration. The real test for an ongoing project is not the elegance of a single release but the culture of stewardship that surrounds it: clear communication, deliberate change, and an openness to the messy realities of real users. If 0.108.0 is a waypoint rather than a destination, it’s a promising one — an invitation to participate in a living design that seeks to be both pure and generative.

I only heard this for the first time a few years ago. I was pretty impressed, it’s a lot better than its rep. Pleasuredome had more peaks, like you say, but more filler too. All the cover versions midway really bring that album down for me. Guess they got sick of doing them too, judging by the Heroin story!

Yes, I think the covers thing was much more Paul Morley’s bag than the band’s…
