Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
What's most surprising about the Pure Moods series is not that it is so popular, but that the music on it actually represents some of the best new age and modern instrumental music, rather than scraping the barrel. For every piece of Enya pop froth, such as her "Only If" which opens the album, there is a deep and impassioned exploration such as Sheila Chandra's virtually a cappella "Ever So Lonely/Eyes/Ocean". Yanni's bombastic "On Sacred Ground" is balanced by Moby's soulful trance groove, "Porcelain". Sometimes those juxtapositions don't work out well. The overwrought romanticism of pianist David Lanz's "Cristofori's Dream" can only suffer being sandwiched between the soul-searing vocals of Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers (Massive/DB Mix)" and the Geoffrey Oryema/Brian Eno hymn, "Land of Anaka". With more than a quarter of the album drawn from the 1980s, there are some influential early gems here for new listeners, including Kitaro's wistful "Silk Road" and Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence." --John Diliberto

Good Album, Not Best If Series Though,
By
This review is from: Pure Moods, Vol. 3 (Audio CD)
This collection of Pure Moods CDs started with this CD and was definitely good enough to justify the rest of the entries in the series. These CDs start by taking pop songs, remaking them into semi-new age songs and then collecting them with other new age songs. They're nice and relaxing and just edgy enough to keep mainstream folks interested. Out of the series I would have to say that this is my thrid favorite. If you're heard the others then you should be satisfied with this album, if you're new to the series I would recommend picking up Pure Moods II.

New-Age Mello Yello....,
By ex12ex34ax311ab10 (CALIFORNIA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pure Moods, Vol. 3 (Audio CD)
This is the kind of utter garbage they use to subdue wild boars in Papua New Guinea. An utterly wasteful collection of schlocky new-age pipey music, all under the guise of the "PURE MOODS" label.

Pure Moods is pure enjoyment,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pure Moods, Vol. 3 (Audio CD)
A friend gave me the original Pure Moods collection several years ago. I played it all the time!When II was released I hesitated to buy it because I felt it would have to be a disappointment after Vol. I. But it wasn't. II was another delightful surprise. Then III was released and I did not hesitate to buy it - and it did not disappoint. I see that IV has now been released and I can't wait to hear it!
