| Professional Review: |
| For listeners with a sincere interest in the broad variety of music loosely aligned under the New Age banner, Pure Moods II will strike your ears as something less than a high-concept showcase for the genre and more as a mulligan stew of easy-listening favorites. This is not necessarily a bad thing; yet a recording marketed to the general public as a comprehensive, current, state-of-the-art overview of atmospheric music shouldn't include such ill-fitting oddities as George Benson's "Breezin'," a lite-funk relic from 1976, or "Emily" from jazz saxophonist Dave Koz. Happily, the 77-minute, 16-track sampler offers far more items of interest than irritation. It reaches back to 1983 to remind us of an ahead-of-its-time display of Celtic mysticism from Clannad ("Theme from Harry's Game"), and it both opens and closes with superb selections from one of the genre's most admired artists, Loreena McKennitt--very appropriate since, one could argue, discussions on the future of New Age should both begin and end with McKennitt's name. Despite its few warts, Pure Moods II is a good listen overall. --Terry Wood |

Written on January 6, 2005 Summary: Pure Moods but not throughout The first Pure Moods was wonderful collection of sensual and easy listening new age music. The second addition is as well but some songs do not feature the mood perfection of Volume 1. Sonds like Breezin, Life in a Northern Town and Chariots of Fire hinder the calmness and musicality of the other tracks. For the most part, the collection of songs is impeccable except the handful of weak songs (mentioned above) that keep this volume below its original. Written on August 20, 2004 Summary: Soothing Music This is a good CD with a variety of songs, each with their unique sound. Pure Moods 2 continues the trend from PM 1. I can not say the same for PM 2 and 4 but that's a different story. The best songs on this CD are 1. Mummers' Dance (Excellent) 2. Montezuma 3. The Cradlesong (Excellent) 4. Nightingale - Yanni (Excellent) 5. Life in a Northern Town - The Dream Academy 6. Zarabanda (Saraband) - Adiemus 7. Euphoria (Firefly) - Delerium 9. Teardrop - Massive Attack 10. Theme from Harry's Game - Clannad 15. Beyond The Invisible (Excellent) 16. Mystic's Dream - Loreena McKennitt  Written on January 2, 2004 Summary: Emotionally involved! Yet another hit in a great series of albums! Music featured on these cd's are full of emotion, every emotion, all over the scale emotions and the beats are never ending! I am a big fan of the Pure Moods series. Written on December 27, 2003 Summary: Never disappointed with Pure Moods cd's.. We own nearly all of the Pure Moods cd's and haven't been disappointed yet. Song choices soothe the mind and soul and bring a peaceful environment to our home when played.. Written on October 16, 2003 Summary: Favorite Of The Bunch 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. This second entry into the bunch is my favorite since the new age stuff is still mainly upbeat and strikes the right balance between pop and new age. |
