Infinitely more is a music album by the group Pur that was released by Intercord in 1990 . It was the group's first album that made it into the charts.
Creation and publication
With her album Wie im Film , published in 1988 , Pur was able to draw the first listeners' attention to itself, so the single Funkelperlenaugen was played on the radio. If this album was still produced by F. Ferdinand Förster , the long-term collaboration with producer Dieter Falk began at Infinite more . Infinitely more is considered the musical breakthrough of the group Pur. The black and white cover photo showing the group walking in front of a white background was made by Jim Rakete .
On the new album, Pur resorted to the fictional character Kowalski , who first appeared on Wie in the film . Kowalski II satirized the typical German and subsequently appeared on numerous other albums of the band, most recently on Mächtig viel Theater 1998 with the title Kowalski 6 .
Infinitely More was released on March 1, 1990 and reached the German album charts on September 10, 1990 as the group's first release. On October 3, 1990 , Pur appeared with their song Brothers on the market square in Weimar, parts of which were shown in the Tagesschau . Smaller concerts followed, including a performance in the Festhalle Idar-Oberstein in front of 100 spectators and a concert in the sold-out Stuttgart Liederhalle . By the end of July 1991, Infinite had sold more than 150,000 copies. EMI reissued Infinitely More in 2002, adding two tracks to the album, including an audio commentary.
