"From the sound clips most of the songs sound good. But when I heard 'Sail Away' I knew that wasn't Enya signing. I won't be buying this CD. I do like the other Moods CD a lot better!!"
A cheap imatation!

"I saw this at the libary, so I decided to get it. I have been a fan of the Puremoods series and I have been wanting to get this so I decided to listen to it before I bought it.
I started listening to the first disc, and I noticed that Carriots of fire was different, like it was done with a computer instead of instraments. I decided to skip it to the next song, and I was horrified!! Instead of hearing Enya, there was some gay indian guy trying to imatae her!
All the songs on here are done with a computer instead of the actual artists! And most shocking of all:
This is *NOT* part of the PureMoods series!!!!
The real Puremoods series is made by Virgin Recoreds, but this set is actually made by a different company: Big Eye Music! I'm actually suprised that Virgin Recoreds hasn't filed a lawsuit or something against this! Because this company is making money with the "PureMoods" name!"
Lame lame lame

"this collection should be called CRAPmoods. sounds like every track is done by the same guy on the same children's casio keyboard. the self-acclaimed 'ultimate new age collection' gives a bad name to 'new age' music. just some rip-off artist trying to make a buck.. avoid this and try some Kitaro or Dead Can Dance."
Don't bother...

"I saw this in the bargain bin at Wal-Mart and thought, hey, six discs for ten bucks-- surely there's bound to be something I like in there. I'm also probably the most easy to please when it comes to new age music, but this...?
It starts with Vangelis' "Chariots of Fire", a peice that hasn't aged well, is over-used, and sounds trite in most instances. Then comes an utterly forgettable cover of Enya's "Orinoco Flow" which is so alike the original one wonders why listen to it at all if you have original, and so poorly done it's an insult to Enya, like so many other 'tribute' covers of her work (Neoera, I'm looking at you).
What follows is six discs of something that is trying way too hard to be new age music. It sounds composed by someone who thinks they're Yanni a third of the time, Christopher Frank another third, and Kitaro the rest, and succeeding at being none of them. Synth drum loops, synth strings, synth everything, and the ubiqiutous and over-abused synth flutes. And even if you can get past the OMG SYNTH EVERYWHERE feeling, some of the music is just plain jarring and clumsy.
Don't get me wrong, there were a few tracks I did like, but those tracks put together wouldn't have filled one disc. The [blank] Moods franchise simply needs to stop putting out junk."
All the same

"The music is all the same, no difference between the songs. It is not what i expected and was disapointed when listening to it all. There are far better collections out there!!!! Dont waste your time buying this rubbish."
