Only joking...I love this track you know. One of the best
dance tracks I have ever heard. I know there is a lot of
Moby hating on the board...but I actually quite like his
stuff regardless. :D

i hate his new stuff.
but one of his albums (in my opinion) surpases SAW 85-92.
its Moby - Ambient, and if you dont believe, go to hell!

I saw Moby do Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on fire" on the
Letterman show. Weird!

Go is his best effort ever IMO

I agree. I love Go, I've got the original issue remixes 12".
Fantastic track.

I think moby gets it in the neck a bit because he is so
outspoken (and has some rather dickish views). He'd be
better off if he didn't do any interviews and just released
his music.

Everything is wrong is great and I used to really like Play
(before it was ruined by being used in everything on
tv for the whole of 2000/2001).

Go was really good, the original version from Moby-Moby, not
"I like to score"
i like all his stuff below the time belt of 2000. he got way
to commercial after that.

heh Feeling so real is another classic imo :)

his new stuff isn't bad imo, just an overdose of samplism
which might start to bore after a while

To be totally honest I never listen to or read any of his
personal views. The only real knowledge of Moby I have is
his music. Maybe that is why I'm not really on a downer
with him :P

I don't think he got commerical. He just got popular. I
think he must have been as surprised as anyone as to the
success of Play.

Every single track on Play has been use either in a film or
an advert... it's in the guiness book of records for it.
Pretty nuts really.

Play was a relative sleeper hit in 1999... it was after it
was used in adverts etc. and got a (properly advertised and
promoted) re-release in late 2000/early 2001 that it started
charting and all the singles had success.

Yes- another really good track. First Cool Hive is good as
well.

but santa makes a point. think what moby thought of that. he
was never famous till after play, and that probobly really
did come as a surprise to him. i stand corrected.
but still, another point made was how he always samples shit
and it gets tedious, which it does. so i dont care for his
new stuff. has anyone heard his Ambient cd? its so godly!

hmm.. i haven't really liked anything that i've heard of his
before.. even the earlier stuff. my sister used to listen to
it..
i'm not at all really into "dance" per se..
but,
what are some good starter tracks for me, so i can give him
a proper chance?
the ambient stuff?..

It was "Go" that first gave him fame, not Play... In his own
words (I'm paraphrasing, but it's danmed close to what he
said)- "If I'd not sampled the Twin Peaks theme, which was
at the time a very popular show, for Go, I doubt I'd be here
doing this interview now..."

He just had a quiet period of several years and only enjoyed
moderate success with the releases between Go and Play.

It's true, his ambient stuff is good.

New stuff I don't like though, pretty horrible sampling an
old blues singer then... oops, she's dead, so no royalties
to pay, convenient really.

Gwely Mernans does not lie- Ambient is a bit of class- one
of the first albums that got me into electronic music in the
early nineties. Its pretty minimalist and there are some
well eerie tracks but I reckon it stands up to a lot of
stuff being released now. In fact cheers for this thread cos
I haven't listened to it in ages and you've inspired me to
blast it out.

The album cover also proves that Moby did once have hair.

he made the music in 90 minutes to a song on the new britney

why am i going to have to find that song ?

yes and another funny thing to note about moby -ambient.
it was released without Mobys concent. the Instinct record
label took random songs from him and compilated the album,
which was released in 1993, the same year as SAW 85-92. and,
(yes theres always an and) youll notice if you own the
album, that this is the ONLY release from Mody where he
states his name on the back as Richard M. Hall..
there are too many coincidences there to let it go..

i agree. moby - ambient is one of my all time fav's.

but his shit is just too formulaic now for me to really
appreciate any of it. on the other hand, the guy had been
scrapping and struggling for so long, i can't fault him for
finally figuring out a way to cash in.

I love that punk one he did, Animal Rights. It's pretty
shocking to think it's the same guy who is peddling all the
safe stuff you hear from him now.

been a popular mp3 in the napstar/limewire days.
