The Very Best of Erotic Moods CD|Erotic Moods, The Very Best of is described “to create a sound that is the perfect accent to any romantic or erotic encounter”. It was released in 2002, and the CD cover stated that it falls under the World/Mood genres. For the most part it is an instrumental CD with a few of the songs having some voices that softly play in parts of the song. We got this CD with the intent of using it to relax after a long day of dealing with kids, life, etc. A candle-lit room, some warm massage oil|Shunga massage candle and the music from the CD would help set the mood for bigger and better things.

The music was pleasant enough but the rhythm from the start was a little fast for what we were looking for. The music started at a rhythm that was more conducive to being in the “moment” rather gradually building up over time. If the rhythm were to build every few minutes it would have been a more erotic experience. Allowing your passion to rise as the rhythm of the music increased would have really allowed the erotic aspect of the music to unfold. I'm sure that would be a challenge for the producers since everyone's passion levels do not rise at the same time, but with a little imagination the music could take you and your lover to some erotic encounter that was made just for the two of you. In fact, that is what the music reminded us of, one of those late night soft porn movies on a cable movie channel. The scenery, lighting, and bodies are perfect and they are at the height of passion with the camera changing angles every few seconds. All of the songs are at that height of passion moment.

In all fairness however, the music really is not that bad. After listening to it again minus the candles etc., the music is actually pleasant to listen to on its own accord. To just play something that has some interesting sounds is actually refreshing, I guess that is why it is also labeled with the World/Mood title on the CD case. I can say that the music has found its way onto the old iPod just to mix things up a little.

This CD has been seeing a lot more play time and it has grown on both of us. We have found that the music to be very relaxing during massages which usually leads us to enjoying each others bodies more intimately. In the past we would turn the music off but one night it stayed on while having sex. It was nice having the music on in the background. It is not playing overly loud and we have made the music a regular part of our bedroom activities. This is a classic case of going back and dusting off something that has not been used for a while. Our original rating was two stars and would now give the CD a three star rating.
