Vipassana meditation is sometimes considered "analytical" meditation, although the latter term is rarely used.

Goldstein is an acknowledged Vipassana master. http://www.dharma.org/ims/mr_audio.php#guided To the best of my knowledge, the Vipassana/Theravada tradition does not emphasize purification meditation. This type of meditation is most common in the Tibetan/Tantric tradition. Here's a good description of it: http://www.rainbowbody.net/HeartMind/ChakraMed.htm Best wishes in your practice!
