Average Rating: Rating: - The Moods Are Still Pure I've been a fan of the Pure Moods series since a friend played the first album for me in 1997, and Pure Moods IV is at least as good as the three that came before it. If you haven't listened to any of the other "Pure Moods" CDs, be warned that the emphasis is on "moods" in the plural--if your favorite artist contributed to Pure Moods IV, you'll be disappointed if you expect the rest of the CD to sound like that artist's work. Instead, the "moods" are very eclectic, ranging from pure New Age to classical piano pieces to hits like Sarah McLachlan's "Angel." Although I enjoyed almost everything on this CD, my favorite piece so far is the late Eva Cassidy's performance of Sting's "Fields of Gold." Her beautiful voice and the song's striking imagery combine to produce a truly haunting piece of music, made all the more poignant by her untimely death--"you'll remember me/When the west wind moves/among the fields of barley . . . ." (If you love "Fields of Gold" as much as I do, Mary Black's marvelous "Speaking With the Angel" features yet another elegant version.) The Pure Moods series has proved to be a wonderful "sampler"--it's introduced me to many new artists whose work I admire, thus leading me to spend even more money at Amazon.com. My guess is that this is what Virgin Records had in mind when it put these collections together. Speaking of which, if you like this series, you might not want to limit yourself to Pure Moods I-IV. Amazon.com sells an import version called "New Pure Moods"--it's a two disc set that includes several of the pieces from Pure Moods I, but adds numerous works that are not a part of the original collection. There is also a "Celtic Moods" that is quite enjoyable, as well as an "Instrumental Moods." I hope you enjoy listening to these CDs as much as I have! Rating: - Good CD, but Not Worthy of "Pure Moods" Name My husband & I love new age/instrumental/meditation music. When we got the first Pure Moods CD, we were floored. We loved it so much we bought a second copy so we could have one in the car all the time. We went on to buy music from many of the artists on the CD. Well, this CD is nice - it's a welcome addition to our collection - but it's not one of my favorites and it's certainly no where near as good as the first. I'm not sorry I bought it but it's not one I'd rush out to recommend to others. Rating: - Should be titled "Pure Piano" I enjoyed the first three installments of the "Pure Moods" series so I was looking forward to this latest compilation. However I was disappointed with the majority of songs being slow piano "recitals". I love piano music, but I expect a vast variety on "Pure Moods" much like the broad spectrum of music given on the first two recordings. While listening to the music I felt many of the songs were just thrown on for space. There a few really good songs on here marred by the remainder of the CD being more sleep inducing than relaxing. I would skip this one and go with many of the other finer New Age recordings and compilations available.
