5.0 out of 5 stars My introduction to New Age, February 22, 2000

This review is from: Pure Moods, Vol. I (Audio CD)

A couple of years ago I saw a commercial for this on cable. I very was interested, though I didn't get the CD. My father, however, gave me one of Enya's CDs and I really liked her music. I later got CDs by other New Age artists and I started to really love New Age. I finally got this CD and I must say, it is amazing. Each and every one of these songs are great. There are energetic songs by Enigma, Enya, and Sacred Spirit and there are also soothing tracks, such as "The Last Emperor", "The Promise", and "Tubular Bells". I also really loved "Oxegene IV" which is great for anyone who likes 70's New Age. My favorite song on this CD is "Adiemus". It's one of the greatest songs I've heard in a long time! This CD has really great music. It's a worthy buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Title is Accurate!, February 27, 2001

This review is from: Pure Moods, Vol. I (Audio CD)

This CD is actually what it claims to be: "Pure Moods". I bought the CD and was amazed by the diversity and flow of the songs. All of the songs are moody, without being depressing. Enya, and Enigma, in particular highlight the songs. The last song is my favorite, "Lily was Here" by Dave Stewart (of Eurythmics fame). This CD is perfect for rainy days in Seattle, or background music while hanging out around the house. Worth every penny!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Love....devotion....feeling....emotion....", August 4, 2001

This review is from: Pure Moods, Vol. I (Audio CD)

I once saw a commercial for this CD way back when it was the first in the series. I became very interested in the way that the CD's songs were so different from anything else I'd ever heard before. Then, as time passed, I saw how popular this series was. I realized that I was missing something big.

So I started listening to samples of songs from the Pure Moods series, and then I knew I had to get it. I decided to start with the first of the three CDs.

And WOW! These songs are incredible! This is not pop, rock, rap, or anything you'd hear these days. This is just plain COOL. I like every song, but my favorites are "Adiemus", "Yeha-Noha", "Return to Innocence", "The Last Emperor", and "Crockett's Theme". When I heard "Crockett's Theme", I knew I had purchased a great CD.

Every one of these songs seems to carry you away to another world, where you're lost in your own dreams. You simply forget everything around you as you listen to the enchanting harmonies and distinctive melodies. Even if you can't understand what they're saying, you love how it's so different from whatever you hear on the radio these days.

You haven't heard great music until you've heard this CD. I can't wait to get the next one in the series.
