Comments

The Moods series begins to branch out from standard World/New Age music with Moods 3 including a track from Morcheeba. Mike Oldfield and Yanni both return from Moods 2, but the rest of the tracks are all from artists new to the Moods series. This is the only album in the range to reach 18 songs.

As usual for the series, there's a fairly good mix of sounds - the easy-listening sax of "Songbird", the Celtic themed "Erin Shore", the synthesizers of "Chariots of Fire", and the Gregorian monks of "Hibernaculum". As a sampling of what's out there, it's great. So far I've purchased four albums as a result of hearing various tracks from here...
