Newage Electronic Dance & DJ Rock & Roll Instrument
这张《Pure Moods Ⅲ》是前两张《Pure Moods》的继续，其中收录了16首近年来经典的New Age作品，你可以从中欣赏到来自各个不同领域的音乐人的New Age作品。“Only If”选自Enya的精选集《The Best Of Enya Paint The Sky With Stars》，Enya的风格一直没有多大的变化，但她的作品的可听性仍然很强，属于那种百听不厌的佳作。Moby近几年推出了几张好评如潮的电子乐专辑，使他电子乐大师的地位得以确立，这张专辑中收录了的他的一首“Porcelain”。
老一辈环境音乐/电子乐大师Brain Eno一直在这一领域不断进行尝试，“Land of Anaka”是他和Geoffrey Oryema共同创作的作品。摇滚歌手Peter Gabril曾在八十年代与Paul Simon等歌手一同进行New Age音乐的创作和素材的采集，并为影片《基督最后的诱惑》制作了一张引起轰动的纯音乐电影原声专辑《Passion》，这里收录的是由他创作的一首“Games Without Frontiers”。Sarah Brightman以专辑《Time To Say Goodbye》创下了1000万的销量，这位音乐剧天后成功的跨过了古典和流行之间的藩篱，又在《Eden》中加以大胆的尝试，融合了古典音乐经典作品和New Age变幻无穷的风格，这里收录的是专辑中的一首“Deliver Me”。“Gravity of Love”出自Enigma的千年专辑《The Screen Behind The Mirror》。专辑还收录了Yanni、Jessie Cook等人的作品，包括喜多郎（Kitaro）的一首“丝绸之路主题曲”（Theme from Silk Roak）
Apparently the only mood that matters is one of pensive melancholy. Nearly every track on this addition to the series is set in a minor key. Some are played solo, like George Winston's new age relic "Sea." Some are crammed with odd instrumentation, as in the briefly startling last section of Yann Tiersen's "La Valse d'Amélie." Some have entire o_rchestras sawing away. There are ambitious works like Moby's "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters," whose attempts to marry grandeur and minimalism are somewhat undercut by the monotony of a cymbal sample repeated too predictably. There are vocals, the best being the late Eva Cassidy's breathtaking treatment of Sting's "Fields of Gold." And there are yawners, such as Yanni's "One Man's Dream," which he may, in fact, have recorded while asleep, "This Love," sung by Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins over a groove that suggests the tread of a drugged somnambulist, and Govi's "Garden of Eden," which sounds way too much like "Chim Chim Cheree" to take seriously. And yet, all of it creates the same gray impression — which, of course, is the point, in which case credit must be paid to those who selected and sequenced these performances. Will upcoming installments offer some variety — a hap-hap-happy compilation, for instance, set in major keys, with handclap rhythms and smiley vocals?...
很明显的一种沉思忧郁的风格，几乎在每一曲的细小音调都能找到这样的踪迹。有象George Winston的newage作品"Sea"是以独奏形式；也有挤满古怪器乐的演奏，Yann Tiersen的La Valse d'Amélie" 在最后一部分就有刹那的震惊；有整个管弦乐队；有象Moby的 "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters"那样雄心的作品，将华丽与简单尝试结合；有人声的如Eva Cassidy的"Fields of Gold"；也有打阿欠的，如yanni的"One Man's Dream"，我想他是在睡着的时候录的音；Elizabeth Fraser演唱的"This Love"，Govi的"Garden of Eden"很象迪士尼音乐剧里的欢乐满人间"Chim Chim Cheree"。这些音乐都有一种灰色的印象，这也许可以算是一个卖点，当然也有多样化的旋律和人声。
总的来说是收录了newage音乐大师们的杰出作品，我个人就比较喜欢现在播放器放的这曲yanni的《One Man's Dream》，yanni把这个男人的梦描绘得充满柔情写意，还有Silence - Sarah McLachlan ，River of Stars - Paul Schwartz ，Shadows In Silence - Enigma也是我喜欢的 。其实感觉这个合辑有点杂了，编辑得也不是很满意，每一曲单独听还行，连在一起听真的有点心情适应不过来，这也是我喜欢听专辑的原因。（花露）
