The End Of Music. And Moby. And Moby Music.

that said, I'm disappointed that he didn't dedicate a blog entry to the review.

I..... don't know what to say about this

a late entry for this thread ?

S/D: Mid-to-late-'90s alt-rock-electronic-ish stuff that was probably on a soundtrack somewhere and is now severely out of taste but that I love

In the late 1990's, Moby wasn't yet an ideology or a brand name or even a pop star.

He was just a soft-spoken music geek, and he seemed likely to spend his career enjoying the kind of underground fame that might ordinarily attach to a punk rocker turned electronica producer turned eclecticist.

Yes, the "underground fame" of having at least 6 top 40 hits (Go, Hymn, Move, Feeling So Real, Everytime You Touch Me, his version of the James Bond theme) and, unlike almost every other electronic music producer of that era, having his face on the cover of his every album and appearing in all his music videos.

But I guess you aren't really famous unless you're famous in the USA?

And pre-Play Moby ruled

having his face on the cover of his every album

these new moby songs are extremely confusing

nine inch moby

rip moby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WywzWjZATKA

most of moby's music is not very good and much of it is bad but I will stan for everything is wrong forever and bc of that album and moby's general way of being I will always kind of like him

"Everything Is Wrong" was good, yeah, iirc, but "God Moves Over the Face of the Water">>whatever else is on that record.

His memoir is supposed to be pretty good.

this was a really good read (account of the Aphex Twin/Orbital/Moby U.S. tour from the guy hired to be Moby's fake keyboard player):

and this is a very entertaining thing based around the guy who lent Moby those Alan Lomax cds: https://gimletmedia.com/episode/2-gregor/

i totally understand the hate moby incites,
however, i cannot help it, i have a lot of time for moby.
whenever i see him interviewed he seems like a really decent chap that i would love to have a few drinks with.
oh, and despite the overuse of certain presets, he has tunes.
simple as that.
re this new album : i will totally buy it when fopp have it for a fiver.
