The Mood Mosaic

The Mood Mosa­ic albums are a series of com­pil­a­tion albums that fea­ture a col­lec­tion of eclect­ic and diverse music from vari­ous genres and eras, often arranged around a cent­ral theme or mood. The first album in the series, titled “The Mood Mosa­ic — A Touch of Vel­vet, A Sting of Brass”, was released in 1996 and com­piled by Itali­an DJ and record pro­du­cer, Stefano Torossi.

Oth­er albums in the series include “The Mood Mosa­ic Vol. 4 — Cha Cha Cha!” which explores Lat­in rhythms and “The Mood Mosa­ic Vol. 14 — Lat­in Fever” which is a trib­ute to Lat­in music.
