| | Pure Moods CD (12 Customer Reviews)
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.
With it's rich variety of material, PURE MOODS is the perfect album for those without multiple cd changers. It touches on the lightly jazzy (David A. Stewart's "Lily Was Here"), the strangely surreal (Angelo Badalamenti's "The Theme From Twin Peaks-Fire Walk With Me"), and the spiritual (Sacred Spirits' "Yeha-Noha [Wishes of Happiness & Prosperity]"). Artfully arranged and thoughtfully compiled, PURE MOODS is a deeply satisfying collection of atmospheric music.

Pure Moods
$10.59 The work of European composer Karl Jenkins, the Adiemus debut SONGS OF SANCTUARY is one of those late 20th century musical triumphs whose success came, oddly enough, through a Delta Airlines TV commercial in which the track "Adiemus" was featured. The exposure resulted in hefty sales for this initial Adiemus collection and ensured further releases.
The music is grounded in Western classical structure but features a vocal technique drawn from Africa and executed exuberantly by a chorus of young children as well as the South African singer Miriam Stockley. Aside from the occasional line of Latin, there are few lyrics. Rather, the vocalists recite phonetic sounds, resulting in an ...
| | Sarah McLachlan Surfacing CD (1997) Enhanced CD
Pure Moods
$9.59 SURFACING is an Enhanced CD containing both a full audio program as well as multimedia computer files.
SURFACING was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Pop album. "Building A Mystery" won the 1998 Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. "Last Dance" won the 1998 Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
"Adia" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
On her fifth album, Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan returns with a simpler collection of songs which quietly explore the darker aspects of human nature. SURFACING is a group of straightforward songs which get right to the point, both musically and lyrically, dealing with such heavy topics as faith, life and death in an appealingly accessible way.
McLachlan's unmistakable soaring voice displays its usual angelic tones and amazing versatility, abetted by the familiar, assured stamp of longtime producer and collaborator Pierre Marchand, making SURFACING McLachlan's most mature album yet. Right from the start, with the anthem-like pop tune "Building a Mystery," McLachlan sets the tone, simultaneously shadowy and calm. SURFACING is an introspective musical landscape, a tight collection of thought-provoking songs from one of today's most talented artists.

| | Pure Moods III CD (2001) O-Sleeve
Pure Moods
$13.19 From the soft focus, new age watercolors of Suzanne Ciani and David Lanz to the electronic oriented sound of Moby and trip-hoppers Mono, the overriding theme is one of lush tranquility. PURE MOODS III manages the difficult trick of maintaining a theme without becoming monochromatic.
The PURE MOODS compilation series is the place where ambient music, new age, and what can only be called "contemporary instrumental" intersect. While this collection moves through a widely ...
| | Pure Moods IV CD (2002)
Pure Moods
$13.69 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 ...

| | Jolie Vigen Another December CD (2006)
Pure Moods
$5.85  “While listening through Another December, I found myself longing for the holiday season, the aroma of cider, and that magical sight of the season's first snowfall. This is one of those Christmas albums that simply makes you feel...good. It alternates between sweet acoustic tracks, inventive Christmas originals, and heartfelt renditions of the classics we all know and love. In this age of over-produced and blandly commercialized media, Jolie Vigen stands out as an artist who knows how to connect with her heart - and in doing so, connects with ours as well.”Joseph Itaya, Tempered Entertainment, Los Angeles “Jolie Vigen’s Another December is a wonderful blend of traditional songs and clever originals, performed by a truly gifted singer. Featuring outstanding guitar work by Greg Fulton, this album is a cozy and enjoyable listen.” Hummie Mann, Seattle, WA“... I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE the CD... Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is BEAUTIFUL, it is on my ipod already with Ella Fitzgerald's Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (my OLD favorite version of the song) your version is my new favorite…”Amber, Seattle, WA“On occasion, an album calls out to me...I just knew that there was something extra-special about this CD. And I was right~Vigen's gentle pop/jazz gem is a glorious, easy-listening delight...More, please! Eh bien, Jolie Vigen, your Another December is jolie indeed!”Carol Swanson, 2006 Christmas Reviews“…One of my top picks is Jolie Vigen’s, “Another December.” In ...
| | Gus Gus Forever CDs (2007) Import
Pure Moods
$17.45 The fifth album by Icelandic dance-pop act Gus Gus maintains the high standards of its predecessors while subtly shifting their sound. Moving even further into straight dance music than its immediate predecessor ATTENTION, and with the band slimmed to a trio by the departure of original singer Daniel Agust for a solo career (he appears on one track nonetheless), FOREVER is more of a refinement than an entirely new direction. Songs like "You'll Never Change" and "Hold You" are sleekly modern and danceable, but ...
