Editorial Review:

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

One of my favorite cds ever!:

This CD is amazing! I listen to it almost every night to put me to sleep. Sometimes when I'm cooking I'll put it on and it always puts me in the best mood. I would recommend this CD to anyone.

A different sound experience:

I love this CD. I had heard it years ago and finally decided to buy myself one. My husband and I recently went on a road trip and I took it with us. It really lifted me up when I was feeling sleepy. The music in the CD is basically new age and the different types of music are beautiful. It is relaxing and inspiring at the same time. It is the best of the "Pure Moods" CDs.

Moods in Music:

Very pleased with this product. Had to go to another website to listen before buying.

This pure moods will surely take you to another dimension:

I first heard of this cd when it was first advertised on tv in the 90's but honestly thought nothing of buying it. However in 2001 I happened to spot this cd when I was stationed in Japan and am happy to have spent my money on this cd. Due to the variety of the songs I feel that this cd is good to listen to at work , when you are spending time with your loved ones, and relaxing and nurturing yourself when you are alone. Some of the notable tracks that really stand out in a positive way for me aremore info
