{"product_id":"pure-moods-vol-ii","title":"Pure Moods, Vol. II","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmazon.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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, ISBN13: B00000DMH7 ISBN10: B00000DMH7 Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51808333496627,"sku":"FA_04-02-2025_MGM_200006IP","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/61Ir2IKzJdL.jpg?v=1753727655","url":"https:\/\/cheapbookdepot.com\/products\/pure-moods-vol-ii","provider":"Cheap Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
