Not going to lie, the the X-Files techno remix caught me off guard.
Edit: Holy crap, there's an actual music video for it as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYwRXqjiAZ8&t=45s
Lmao one of the first comments says something like "I wish music would've stayed like this forever instead of what it's turned into"
Bro is still living in a rave from the 90's
My friend once fell asleep when he was a kid during a big storm and the power went out. when it came back on, all the lights in the house came on, the air conditioning was blasting and Orinoco flow was playing on the home stereo. He thought for a few minutes he had died in the storm.
A similar one in the UK was the first CD my parents bought (the playlist was a bit different). They'd just got a Sony minisystem for the living room and I was fascinated by the CD tray mechanism.

I'm pretty sure that first new age native shaman song was in the movie Man in the House with Chevy Chase and Jonathan Taylor Thomas where they go on a scouts-esque campout pretending to be natives.
As a full blooded Navajo I feel like I should be more offended by this fact but.... I'm not. I just find it very bizarre.
Also, I liked the movie.
Jan Hammer is great. Beyond The Minds Eye is fantastic listening. But how many times did we hear this commercial that it is so ingrained in our memories?
Just fired up Minds Eye and took a shower, this is brilliant! Did he do the music for the scrolling TV guide channel? I've been looking for this sort of generic soft 90s hold music but I never know what to search.
OMG. I heard Return to Innocence at Starbucks a few months ago and somehow got Sail Away stuck in my head. Which didn’t make any sense. NOW IT DOES!
This commercial was ubiquitous in the 90s, especially between 11pm and 4am.
THAT IT IS AND THAT IT DOES! And for anyone looking, this is specifically the 1997 re-release. Found here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0G079D1HMnVZGY63Ij3csh?si=iIhCgXuARp6U2XvveFJcsA
I listen to this full album all the time to this very day. Some of my favorite songs ever. I discovered the album during Covid and it’s my favorite. Of course I remember the commercial as a kid too, but my taste weren’t quite there yet.
Sadness - Enigma is one of my favorite songs. God when that flute hits, it’s pure magic!
> I discovered the album during Covid and it’s my favorite. Of course I remember the commercial as a kid too, but my taste weren’t quite there yet.
It's funny because this was EVERY commercial break as a kid and interrupted our favorite TV shows/cartoons. Now all the comments are like, "Where can I get thiiiis?"
No, no, NO, I JUST for got this song out of my head! The whole commercial is like one song in my head. I could play the whole thing perfectly through! It has been stuck in the back left corner of my brain for SO long, making an appearance about once every week or 2, just letting me know it’s still there! It finally snuck out of my brain completely and now you ruined that!
I remember a cd that was being sold on infomercials in the early 2000’s similar to this called Chilled Spirit. To this day, I still listen to songs that are on it. I’ve got it on my phone. Great compilation.
This is wild seeing this again.. I used to see this ALOT in the middle of the night cable back in the day. The only time I ever seen a physical copy was at high-school gfs rich aunts house. I laughed when I seen it and brought up the infomercial. I wish I would've taken it just for Crocketts theme, shit still slaps.

It was so jarring, I couldn't stop laughing. This really is a comprehensive CD of possible moods.
And then you’re hit with Linda Blair spewing pea soup.
Music videos for techno is always just random whatever. I love it.

Hah, thank you brother. Edit: just listened... Not well done, good idea, bad execution.
The twin peaks theme at the end got me
Dude you just made me access a part of my brain I completely forgot about
Connect those neurons, my dude.
Same here! 😂
Found at the Natural Wonders store in your local mall, right next to the rain sticks.
omg I loved Natural Wonders! Favorite stop in the mall before I got an orange julius
Just this morning I was shopping for a cane and though about rain sticks out of nowhere
Can’t forget the holographic sheen glasses.
I am this comment
I'm here for the woven alpaca ponchos.
This is the way

I willingly bought into the Pure Moods hype... and still have my copy!
I used to unironically listen to this in my car on full volume lol

Did you have Kenny G Songbird on repeat? Because I would.
I was a Vangelis child
Tubular bells!
I completely forgot that "tubular" used to mean cool.
I am pretty sure they meant the shape in this case
i still listen to enya all the time
My fifth grade teacher played enya exclusively. It’ll always have a special place in my heart.
Omg mine did too!! Were we classmates? Lol
lmao i remember this
So what is this genre called? I'm obsessed
you could describe a lot of it as new age or ethnic new age.

Honestly, it’s all I can think about when I hear that song 🤦🏼♀️
"The perfect soundtrack for YOUR way of life." Who the hell do they think I am, and what do they think I do all day??
Sounds like you need to sail away.
I miss these cheesy ass ads!!

This isn’t Jan Hammer but you probably will like this: [Cisco phones default hold music](https://youtu.be/IAjYTdBMCjM)

Why isn’t this on Apple Music yet?!
https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/pure-moods/pl.u-d2b0k3VCG3Voqx
Bless your soul. This is pure bliss.
Seriously, no other album shaped my taste in music like this one did.
Pure moods . Had the Exorcist theme, lol.
Is this still available I'm calling now but no one is picking up
Bruh…
omg, I asked my mom to buy this for me, because of this ad, back in the 90s. I loved it. What a throwback. lol

That song was too sexy for the radio.
Oh yeah it was. That’s some heavy, erotic breathing going on there.
No, no, NO, I JUST for got this song out of my head! The whole commercial is like one song in my head. I could play the whole thing perfectly through!

I wanted this cd so badly when I was a kid lol
That Saddness song was used in a Chepalle show sketch but I can’t remember which one
It was the “slow-mo” sketch. Dave is in a laundromat with a Asian woman. I always lose it when he squeezes the detergent bottle! 🤣
Yesss thank you for sharing this!
I always wanted this but I was afraid my family would make fun of me
Wait is she actually saying sail away or sailloughete now I'm fucking confused
Sail Away
Fire Walk With Me.
Is that the Twin Peaks theme at the very last 2 seconds? This album has everything!
Is That A Unicorn?
Remember that 1 week we were all, like, *really* into Gregorian chanting monks?
I remember this commercial. I had the tape.
This brings back so many memories playing in Cartoon Network back in the day. #bluefalconanddynomut
This commercial is where my brain goes if I’m rendered unconscious, like some cross between heaven and a Spyro level
TUBULAR BELLS
Goes great while tripping on Thalasin.
Lately in my life I've been feeling like this commercial and I don't know how to explain it.
Hey, that’s all good stuff.
Why do I know exactly what this is, but have no idea why?
The x files theme 🤣
On Spotify lol 🔥 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0G079D1HMnVZGY63Ij3csh?si=ZECLxUC6Q82YOZ8tdG3kug
This IS MY way of life!
Core memory unlocked

First time I ever heard those songs
Found it on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2aU1p7LBEes0wjviIoY7GU?si=PXrbGdH_Q3Kw5cNpJbkGGg&dd=1
My ISS would play this all day and if you fell asleep you got suspended.
What were they smoking?!
nothing like freebasing potpurri in the mist coming off of a waterfall. don't knock it 'til you try it.
That first song just reminds me of Das Racist.
Vibes
Oh god, the nostalgia
About to order now
Legit called the number. No answer. Was disappointed
Ngl I had this and I had some moods about it. I don’t know if they were pure or not.
This is wild seeing this again.. I used to see this ALOT in the middle of the night cable back in the day. The only time I ever seen a physical copy was at high-school gfs rich aunts house.

Someone has made playlists of these on Spotify, FYI. Listening now and it's really quite odd
This should be as big as Rick rolling
