MOOD MOSAIC
VA - The Mood Mosaic Vol. 01 to Vol. 20 [1997-2023] (20 x CDs)
Italian realistically unofficial compilation series by Partners in Crime/ Yellowstone Records/ Discomagic Records/ Future Records/ Hitland (Italy).
I am something of a completest in the sense that, once I start buying a series of something, I usually feel some sort of mild compulsion to own the whole set. I always think I might be missing something great of I don't get every volume. After buying the "Mood Mosaic" series I wasn't disappointed. Each of the Mood Mosaic volumes have a quite a few great tracks and large amounts of what sound like "B' sides or filler cuts on them. The sound is good on every cut and the disc is well enough filled that there's no question of value. So....if you woke up this morning thinking, gosh, I wish I could find a Crime Lounge CD filled with mostly nondescript B movie chase scene music, this might be just your cup of tea...
Each volume in this great Mood Mosaic series, is themed that focuses on those thematic sounds. Listen to Jazz-Funk, Easy Listening, Pop Rock, Latin Jazz, Soul-Jazz, Psychedelic, Lounge, Soul-Jazz, Jazz, Latin, Swing, Cool Jazz, Big Band, Funk, Pop Rock, Soul, Afrobeat, House, Disco & Soundtrack. There are loads of rare cuts and loads of hard-to-find tracks. (Amazon)
