Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

New Age music, ambient electronica, and spiritualized hip-hop received their first major, K-Tel-like treatment in 1996 when Virgin Records assembled Pure Moods. The "As Seen on TV" compilation quickly became a hot seller, and it would be nice to think that its popularity has as much to do with the music as the marketing. To be sure, Pure Moods offers genre hits aplenty: from Enya's "Orinoco Flow" to "Sadness" from Enigma; from a dance mix of the "X-Files Theme" to edits of vintage electronica from Mike Oldfield (Tubular Bells) and Jean Michele Jarre (Oxygene). Beyond other selections of beat-enhanced chants and a few other popular themes ("The Mission," "Twin Peaks"), the album, refreshingly, also includes a few selections noteworthy only for their originality and quality. A three-track section near end of the 70-minute disk features affecting soft African chants from Geoffrey Oryema, followed by "My Wife with Champagne Shoulders," a dollop of regal, faintly ethereal romanticism from master film scorer Mark Isham, then a robust piano workout, "The Promise" from Michael Nyman (The Piano). With so many elements of interest on its 17 tracks, the album's broad diversity is sure to have broad popularity. --Terry Wood

5.0 out of 5 stars My introduction to New Age, February 22, 2000
By A Customer
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 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
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic
Great compilation of electronic music for it's time. A lot of depth to it, you don't get to the 5th or 6th song and start getting into what seems like "filler".
