| | Pure Moods IV CD
PURE MOODS IV follows in the same vein as its predecessors; a mellow blending of various genres that end up being lumped and labeled together as contemporary instrumentals. Casting the net far and wide, the creators of this wildly successful series came up with selections by New Age icons Yanni ("One Man's Dream") and George Winston ("The Sea"), ambient trendsetters Enigma ("Shadows In Silence") and B-Tribe ("She Moves Through The Fair"), plus pop pianist Jim Brickman ("Devotion"). Other curious picks include late cult figure Eva Cassidy ("Fields Of Gold") and film composer Rachel Portman ("Theme From Chocolat").
Most interestingly, obvious attempts at tempting the youth market include an Afro-Celt Sound System/Peter Gabriel collaboration ("When You're Falling"), a Moby cut ("God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters"), and a solo outing by Canadian chanteuse Sarah McLachlan ("Angel") as well as her team-up with Delerium ("Silence"). With its wealth of tranquil music, PURE MOODS IV serves as a brake for/break from modern times that seem to be getting more and more fast-paced.

$11.69 From the exotic world-music flavor of Enigma's "Return to Innocence" to Enya's weightless, ethereal "Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)," to the deeply moving "Theme From 'The Mission'" by Ennio Morricone, the songs on this compilation are mostly mood-enhancing instrumentals that complement each other perfectly.

| | Traffic Definitive Collection CD (2000) Remastered
Pure Moods IV CD music
$10.45 Digitally remastered by Tom Ruff (Universal Music Studios East, Edison, New Jersey).
This release was formerly titled: FEELIN' ALLRIGHT: THE VERY BEST OF TRAFFIC.
This well thought-out anthology includes just about every notable Traffic track from their peak years of 1968 to 1971. What immediately impresses here is the range of the band and the variety of their influences. They veer from psychedelic pop (love that cheesy sitar on their debut hit, "Paper Sun"), to jazz-inflected R&B on the instrumental "Glad," via Celtic folk in the lovely, pastoral "John Barleycorn Must Die," and the psychedelic rock of San Francisco-style jams on "Mr. Fantasy."
The whole enterprise is held together by the glue of Jim Capaldi's vastly underrated drumming and by Stevie Winwood's justifiably celebrated keyboards and Ray Charles-inflected vocals. You can almost smell the incense and controlled substances that were present at the creation of most of this material, but, in a way, this only adds to the music's laid-back charm. Essential.
Recorded at Olympic Studios, London, England between April 1967 and May 1970; The Record Plant, New York, New York from January-May 1968; Morgan Studios, London, England in November 1968; Island Studios, London, England between April 1970 and September 1971. Includes liner notes by John McDermott.

Pure Moods IV songs
$13.55 Unlike the single volumes in Virgin's Pure Moods series, Pure Moods: Ultimate Tranquil Collection is almost entirely instrumental, and features no name-brand artists. Its budget price will no doubt entice some listeners, especially since the package is a boxed set, and is marketed as a companion to meditation, yoga, or relaxation. ~ Johnny Loftus
Unlike the single volumes in Virgin's Pure Moods series, Pure Moods: Ultimate Tranquil Collection is almost entirely instrumental, and features no name-brand artists. Its budget price will no doubt entice some listeners, especially since the package is a boxed set, and is marketed as a companion to meditation, yoga, or relaxation. But nothing on the collection's six discs of music is particularly memorable or even creative, with most of it relying on new age clichés like hissing synthesizers, ambient nature sounds, and the twittering of ethnic flutes. There's no rule that says new age music needs to be boring; unfortunately, much of Pure Moods: Ultimate Tranquil Collection is exactly ...
| | Traffic Gold CDs (2005) Remastered
Pure Moods IV album
$15.09 Although there are a few Traffic compilations on the market, this 2005 two-disc set, puts them to shame, with 30 essential tracks that span the British band's initial run from 1967-1974. (Core members Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi revived the Traffic name briefly in the 1990s.) From the Eastern-tinged psychedelic rock of "Paper Sun" and "Hole in My Shoe" to the R&B-leaning pop of "Something New" and the soul jam of "Dream Gerrard," all of the group's finest songs are here.
The work done between '68 and '71 is Traffic's most enduring legacy. During these years, when the ensemble wasn't breaking up or shifting personnel, they melded folk, jazz, and rock into a brilliant amalgam. The key elements of group--Winwood's plaintive vocals and melodic organ lines, Capaldi's tight drumming, and Chris Wood's dynamic woodwind embellishments--are ...
