But let\u2019s get to that later. Pure Feels (the name chosen as a homage of the iconic Pure Moods compilation) draws from ambient music, not the genre proper, but the music that was going on while other things were happening. Music from Dreamcast and N64, the sounds of spas and suburban malls, elevators and hold lines. It might seem strange that that songs so influenced by background music, music essentially designed to be ignored, are invested with such sincere emotion. And that\u2019s part of the reason why stuff like vaporware is assumed to have been made with a hefty amount or irony. But that\u2019s not it at all \u00a0The whole thing is soaked in the nostalgia of those times. Those feelings of comfort, of control, of limitlessness, of certainty, of prosperity, are as tied to the 90s as they are to childhood for people of a certain age. Using the word &#8220;feels&#8221; as a noun may seem at first like childish artifice, but it\u2019s inarticulateness is the point. It\u2019s an emotion that can\u2019t be named, but only felt, deep and inchoate. That\u2019s the vein Moon Cities has tapped into on Pure Feels. This is the New New Age.<\/p>\n<p>1.
