4.0 out of 5 starsAnother very nice "Moods" CD
By Mark Lee on June 13, 2002
Format: Audio CD
"Instrumental Moods" continues the "Moods" series of New Age music. It is probably the weakest "Moods" CD, but then again, these are instrumental songs, so they don't have any searing vocals in them. The few vocals that *are* in the songs have no real lyric to them. Here's a quick run-through of the ones I liked:
1. "In the Full Moon Light"--3rd Force. A jazzy instrumental dance piece combining piano, percussion and some kind of brass instrument that sounds like a trumpet. Very cool, great opener.
2. "Knocking on Forbidden Doors"--Enigma. A very nice piece, and certainly worthy of being in the "Instrumental Moods" compilation. Just remember that since it is instrumental, it is not one of this artist's best works.
3. "Barcelona Nights"--Ottoman Liebert. A peppy flamenco song featuring distinctive percussion and guitar work. It's sure to make you sweat!
7. "Tempest"--Jesse Cook. Another flamenco song, but a bit more contemporary than "Barcelona Nights", and just as much fun to listen to!
8. "Cliffs of Dover"--Eric Johnson. A great electric guitar instrumental, and the only roof-shaker on the CD. Curiously, however, it reminds me more of Hawaiian surfers than cliffs in Delaware.
10. "Weather Storm"--Massive Attack. See #2.
13. "Widescreen"--Vanessa Mae. An achingly beautiful song, featuring a seductively played violin.
14. "Gabriel's Oboe"--Ennio Morricone. A slow song, featuring the soothing sounds of an oboe. A wonderful example of the brilliant soundtrack for "The Mission".
15. "Cristofori's Dream"--David Lanz.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsVery soothing and relaxing
By Erica Anderson on April 3, 2002
Format: Audio CD
I'm a huge fan of the Moods series. I almost have all but a couple of the cds associated with this series. I just recently acquired "Instrumental Moods". Now while I do enjoy this compilation, I can't help but wonder how this cd is any different from the Pure Moods cds. A lot of these songs would be ideal for any of the Pure Moods cd like Enigma's "Knocking On Forbidden Doors" and Sacred Spirits' "Dawa (Cradlesong)". Another interesting tidbit, David Lanz's "Cristofori's Dream" is also on "Pure Moods III". I guess someone wasn't looking when that cd was compiled. Asides that I thoroughly enjoyed the compilation. The music is very soothing to relax too after a long day at the office. I particularly loved the tracks by Sacred Spirits, Eric Johnson, Enigma, Cusco, Ennio Morricone and David Lanz. There isn't a song on this album I did not like.

3.0 out of 5 starsBetter off with each artist.
By Jon on December 24, 1999
Format: Audio CD
I just bought the album, and I would suggest buying each artist's complete work rather than this album alone. The tracks aren't arranged in a way that would go about creating a "mood" of any sort. Unlike Pure Moods and Pure Moods II, along with Celtic Moods, that have a nice flow to them, "Instrumental Moods" jumps around too much for this listener to really enjoy it. Jumping on the "ban-wagon" of a "Moods-esque" CD, this one lacks the smooth arrangement of the other albums. Specific artists that I liked on the Album were Eric Serra, and Cusco.

5.0 out of 5 starsInstrumental Moods
By A Customer on October 20, 2000
Format: Audio CD
...is very good! I love how each song has its different persona. The mixture of different artists and styles makes it the CD I pop in when I'm not sure what to listen to. My personal favorites are: Tempest, Cliffs of Dover and Knocking on Forbidden Doors. All have great instrumentation and rythm that holds your attention. I do have to admit, though, the songs after track 8 do get a little boring, but still worth listening too. Gabriels' Oboe is particulary good in the last songs. Don't get discouraged by this though, I find some of the slower songs better! It IS worth buying!!

4.0 out of 5 starsAnother Solid Entry in this Series
By A Customer on April 16, 1999
Format: Audio CD
For those who have had the good fortune of discovering Virgin's "Pure Moods" albums, the arrival of each new entry is greeted with much anticipation. "Instrumental Moods" was actually, I believe the second album released but many have found it only recently. It differs from the "Pure" discs in both aim and style, but is a credible addition to the series. There is considerably more diversity on this disc, with hard-rockin' guitar tracks like Eric Johnson's brilliant "Cliffs of Dover" side-by-side with mellow, contemplative tracks like Morricone's "Gabriel's Oboe." There's trip-hop, contemporary latin guitar, classic new age, in short: something for everybody. Particular highlights that you might not know previously are Vanessa-Mae's astonishingly beautiful "Widescreen," Neal Schon's driving "Midnight Express," and New Age legends Cusco's "Montezuma" (which also apears on "Pure Moods II." This disc is worth of both its heratige and a place in your collection

5.0 out of 5 starsBetter than the "Pure Moods" CDs.
By Distant Voyageur on February 29, 2012
Format: Audio CD
I've always thought the Pure Moods series was very hit and miss to my ears. I mean, I thought that it was very odd to hear Dave Koz's "Emily" (Which I do enjoy as a song on it's own right) on a CD like Pure Moods. I thought the quality of the songs were varied widely and/or other songs sounded completely out of place on the Pure Mood series. This particular spin-off entry though entitled "Instrumental Moods" to my ears doesn't have anywhere near as inconsistent of songs like Pure Moods does and even the 'out-of-place' songs at least fit on an album entitled "Instrumental Moods".

Some of my favorite songs are "Knocking on Heaven's Door", "Montezuma", "Sure-As-Not" and "Gathering of the Tribes". The diversity of the album makes this a worthy purchase. Generally I enjoy this more than all except the third Pure Moods CD.
