5.0 out of 5 stars «Aural medication for tired minds», February 5, 2003

That's what the inlay booklet say. And, to be honest with you all, this is pure truth.

I bought this almbum since I am a HUGE Vangelis fan, and a version of State Of Indepence (or Spiritual High as Moodswings call it) was on this CD.

I never thought that "a version from someone else" would impress me EVEN more than a version by Vangelis himself (with Jon Anderson, in this case).

This CD is incredible nice. All the songs are great. The last one, Hairy Piano is a Gem, and all the others are incredible nice too.

Spiritual High, is, as you might guess, my fav, but all the CD is great. The inclusion of Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have A Dream" speech on the 3rd. movement of Spiritual High was totally acerted and makes the CD even more enjoyable.

So, let's dream away, let's ease our tired minds... let this aural medication heal you...

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS, April 4, 1999

By A Customer

This CD is Great! I have owned this CD for 6 years and it is still one of my favorites. Track 9, entitled Spiritual High (State of Independence) is a super whimsical and seductive song that puts the listener into a dreamy feeling of love. I first heard the song at the conclusion to the movie Single White Female starring Bridgette Fonda. If there are any guys out there wishing for a song or music to listen to while sharing an intimate moment with their lady, this song is The Answer. I liken it's seductiveness to Moments In Love by the Art of Noise. -Brian

Yes, that is the truth about "Moodfood" by Moodswings. It is not hard to explain why their "Aural medication for tired minds" sounds so perfect, as we all know that many musicians usually offer nothing more than just a music. Fortunately, "Moodfood" demonstrates that some "other" musicians are able to use the same tools to produce an almost abstract art work. It consists of many different elements so that every single song is given a different pattern, while hole the project sounds like a one-piece music ride that evokes your spirit. While many ones like to mention the "Spiritual High-Trilogy" as the culmination of this album, I would like to highlight "Rainsong" as well. The song is some kind of "intermezzo" filled by the beautiful voice of Linda Muriel. I am also glad to mention Jeff Beck and his outstanding guitar solo in "Skinthieves". Finally, the above trilogy is something that deserves every positive comment (you just choose your lovely words). "Spiritual High (Part I)" is indeed an introduction to the main part ("State Of Independence " by Jon Anderson and Vangelis from "The Friends Of Mr. Cairo, 1991) that features the voice of Chrissie Hynde. But hey, there is something more ! The third part is colored by the legendary speech of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Awesome! Moodswings are Grant Showbiz and J.F.T. Hood. After I first heard this album, I fell in love with it. Forever! "Moodfood" in the world of music is its Eiffel Tower. Someone could make another one, but...
