Pure Moods

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Allmusic 5/5 stars

Pure Moods was the first United States release of a series of compilation albums of New Age music released by Virgin Records. The original was titled "Moods – A contemporary Soundtrack" and released in the UK in 1991. This was followed by "Moods 2" in 1992. The series focuses on the genres of New Age, Ambient, World Music, and to a lesser extent, subdued Electropop and Smooth Jazz. Several artists are featured regularly throughout the series such as Massive Attack, Moby, Enigma, Enya, Adiemus, Sacred Spirit and Yanni.

The original volume of the series was initially promoted and sold by direct response television commercials. The first volume was initially released in 1994, with a different track listing to the 1997 re-release. There are nine albums released by Virgin Records in the series — five "main entry" albums and four spin-off albums (Celtic, Scottish, Instrumental) and Christmas. "Scottish Moods" stands alone as an album featuring a single performer, David Methen and The Munros, while all the others are albums featuring multiple groups.
