Subject: (mobility) Moby Disk
Well, I finally received it and I like it!!!
It has both audio and video. If there is a difference between buying the MPC
and regular Moby Disk I have no idea what it is. The version that I got
makes no reference to this. It doesn't even have the letters MPC anywhere on
the CD.
A word of caution: it may not work on NEC CD Rom drives. I don't remember who
it was, but somebody posted that their CD Rom was an NEC clone. I don't
think that buying the MPC version will improve your chances that you will be
able to run this program. I would advise you against purchasing this
product.

actually it will. the mpc version is a regular ibm formatted cdrom
disc and not an enhanced cd. if your cdrom will read anything it will
read the mpc version.

Yes, the delay sucks, I know. I was shocked to see that the last digest
had a half months worth of postings clumped all together! Sadly, this
is a problem that I have no control over. The majordomo setup that this
list operates off of is messed up in that area.
I will harass my ISP about the problem. Hopefully we will get results
soon. Please hang in there. ):

i believe majordomo has digests set up so that they send out after a
certain number of messages has come in or a certain size has been reached.
so it would actually be list traffic that determined the frequency of the
digests. a guess since the majordomo list i co-moderate doesn't operate a
digest so i'm a bit unfamiliar with the process. i really do think that
this list is optimal for subscription to the actual list and not the
digest, so if any of my suspicions be remotely correct, then this'd be
your best bet. meanwhile, you just slip in ambient and sleep a restful
night....

It is being released in the US on Tuesday, July 29th. So by the time
you read this, it's probably been released.

It would make more sense if Elektra/Moby chose to include bonus tracks.
I don't see who will be buying this release except for those who already
have the import and maybe a few others (and yes, I do love this album,
I'm not knocking it). I haven't seen any promotion for this album...
I'm actually happy to hear that a fax has been sent out about it.
I just had a somewhat scary thought... what if the bonus tracks are the
remixes for "Dog Heaven" or the additional tracks from the "Little
Idiot" CD that didn't make it onto the domestic release of Animal
Rights??? Regardless, I'll be buying this CD when it comes out.
As for the release date, I haven't heard anything that would be
different from July 29. BTW, has anyone participated in the "Moby
Bulletin Board" that Elektra (
http://www.elektra.com/ambient_club/moby/moby.html ) has on Moby's web
site? This is silly but... I've never noticed it before, then again, I
don't visit it all too often. And no, Elektra hasn't made any changes
to the web site reflecting the forthcoming release of "The End Of
Everything" - surprise, surprise. I do have to give them credit for
giving him a somewhat prominent showing on their small "ambient/dance"
index page.

Subject: (mobility) 'ello
i like the "welcome to mobility" thing... so I am gonna introduce myself,
so here it goes.
My name is Erik (e) and I am 21
I am fairly new to the music of Moby... but I am quickly finding out that
nameless stuff I have liked in the past was indeed some of his work,
which is very exciting.
I must admit, finding my taste in Moby was pretty much an accident.
Several years ago, I was played something that was supposedly Moby's that
I didn't like, so I have always been a little cautious, now I am thinking
that it wasn't him at all. Recently, a friend of mine loaned me the Joy
Division Tribute CD, and I quickly decided that Moby's cover of New Dawn
Fades was the best JD cover I had ever heard, and overall, simply
incredible.
I also quickly realized that I had heard this song before, in the movie
Heat. So, I eventually grabbed the soundtrack to Heat seeing that there
were to Moby tracks on it, as well as some other somewhat desireable
extras. Unfortunatly, I found out that the one song I was really anxious
to own was very EDITED! So, you can guess what the next CD I bought was
:-)
Anyways, it was the last track on the Heat soundtrack that hooked me.
"God Moving Over the Face of the Waters" is just simply amazing. I have
found it very soothing sleep music (litierally leaving it on reapeat all
night long)
So, after that little shock to myself, I convinced myself to give Moby
his deserved go. So, to play it safe, I picked up "Everythign is Wrong."
Which pretty much had me hooked. I found myself playing it excessivly,
and gather tidbits of info about Moby... finding out that I like him more
and more every day. I recently added "disc" and the DJ mix album of EIW
to my small collection, and when I get paid friday... I am looking to
expand it further (any suggestions would be great)
So, I am becoming a big fan rather fast - after gathering a little more
background info, I find out that a little bit of Moby has been around a
lot of bits of music that I like.
Anyways.. as for other music I am into, Meat Beat, Consolidated and >1
(GTO) come to mind immediatly - I am actually the list manager of
DataFlow, the >1 list :-) So I can appreciate this list too
anyways... thats about it...
time to play more music

well, i haven't heard anything other than the "dog heaven" single, but it
sounds like "the end of everything" by voodoo child (aka moby) is going
to be the next big thing to get. i know I'M going to try to pick it up in

Welcome to the list Erik. (: I enjoyed your intro...

Yes, picking up "Everything Is Wrong" first is your best bet. I think
it is the best way to both show people how great Moby is and also warn
them how diverse Moby's music can be. From that album, you have to
decide what you liked most about it and go from there.
For example, if you liked the songs: HYMN - GOD MOVING OVER THE FACE OF
THE WATERS - WHEN IT'S COLD I'D LIKE TO DIE - INTO THE BLUE...
Then you should get the album "The End of Everything" by his alter ego
Voodoo Child. The album is simplistic but beautiful. The US release of
this album is suppose to come out today (JULY 29). He also has earlier
album titled "Ambient" which is exactly that, ambient. However, I don't
listen to this one that often.
If you enjoy the techno/electronic songs: FEELING SO REAL - EVERYTIME
YOU TOUCH ME - BRING BACK MY HAPPINESS...
Then you should get "RARE: The collected B-sides (1989-1993)" or the
"Move EP".
If you like his harder stuff: ALL THAT I NEED IS TO BE LOVED - WHAT LOVE
Then you should get the album "Animal Rights". This album has his
hardest material and could be called punk rock. There are two very
different releases of this album, the UK & US versions. Check out the
info and track listings at the following URL's:

I started out with "Everything Is Wrong", and have got "Move" and "Rare"

My favorite is "EIW"

well, I will probobly look for the new Voodoo Child disc the next time I
am at a music store. But it sounds like I pretty much can't go wrong.
From EIW, I like it all... some more than others... but its all great.
I think I like his "ambient" work the most, so Ill start out with Voodoo
Child, but I saw the "rare" disc today, so I may pick that up at the same
time.. maybe more if I can afford it
thanks for the tips!

it's been available as an import for almost a year now.

early underground is too repetetive for me.
moby's a bit better, but still not enough variation.
i'd go with ambient. it was never really liked by moby (or many others)
but is one of my favorite album because alot of the songs are incomplete
and ruff around the edges.

Subject: (mobility) The End of Everything (US release)
I just got my copy of the US release of Voodoo Child | Moby: _The End
of Everything_. It bears a small sticker on the wrapping that says
"VOODOO CHILD IS MOBY" and "Features music not found on the UK
release!". Unlike the UK release, the cover picture takes up the whole
cover, and is more zoomed in. The tray or whatever you call it that the
disc rests in is black, instead of white like the UK release. The track
listing is the same as Xaq reported yesterday. Here is the discog info:
THE END OF EVERYTHING (66:19) [Voodoo Child | Moby, 29 Jul 1997]
US CD, Elektra, 62092-2
1 9:50 Patient Love
2 8:58 Great Lake
3 8:17 Gentle Love
4 7:27 Honest Love
5 7:07 Slow Motion Suicide
6 6:03 Dog Heaven
7 18:25 Reject
I'm starting to listen to it now, and it seems that the tracks are
different. "Dog Heaven" is a new version that was neither released on
the UK EOE album nor the _Dog Heaven_ single. "Honest Love" has a new
and longer ending that is absolutely wonderful! "Reject" is the same
long track that appeared on the _Little Idiot_ UK AR bonus disc.
"Animal Sight" is missing from this US release, but it was my least
favorite track from the UK release anyway, so it's no huge loss.
Overall, I still like the old UK version better (its "Dog Heaven" is
superior), but this new release is very good and I recommend it.
Nowhere else will you find such beautiful, honest, simple, and emotional
music as on _The End of Everything_.

you also said that your "EoE" had a sticker that said "voodoo child is

I got the Spawn soundtrack yesterday. The Moby/Butthole Surfers
track is very good. The whole CD is very good. I highly recommend it.

which is odd 'cause i think that's probably the worst thing i've ever
heard moby do.
to each their own, i guess...
i'd say the soundtrack is 50-50. it's too rocky and not enough dancy. you
know that the only reason this soundtrack exists is to make money. none of
the pairings worked as well as they should have. it all sounds really
forced and very un-inspired.
i like the metallica/dj spooky and obital/hammet songs. i'm a big manson
(not mansun) fan, and that track is also one of their worst.
i now wish i hadn't bought it, but i'll probably get a few more listens
out of it before it retires to the pile under the shelf where all my old
CD's go to die.

Subject: (mobility) Voodoo Airplay
Well I didnt think I'd actually hear the end of everything on my local
college station. But today they shocked me and played Dog Heaven (the
newer version). It was wierd because before they had played some crappy
sounding song that was really annoying me and then they popped on Dog
Heaven and suddenly driving to work was much more easier :)
And the dj guy tried to give moby info as he said "ya know just in case you
care, voodoo child is moby. Maybe I'll play some more moby in an hour."
an hour! sheesh traffic isnt that bad!
Anyways im gonna buy the Spawn thingy regardless of what ive heard. I did
hear the Hammet/Orbital one.. what i briefly heard reminded me of Fluke's
Atom Bomb.. well at least the part that Orbital was playing.
Well ive babbled enough, toodles

No. There are five different versions of "Dog Heaven": The three
that are on the single (Lopez Mix, Extended Mix, Long Mix), the UK
EOE version, and the new US EOE version. The latter sounds like it
is based on the Long Mix, but edited down considerably, with more
echoing added. The original (UK EOE) version is still my favorite,
followed by the Long Mix.

Yes, it says V O O D O O C H I L D | M O B Y on both the front and
the spine. The back also says "Written and Produced by Moby". I guess
that Elektra really wants the world to know that Voodoo Child is Moby,
so they just couldn't leave it as "Voodoo Child" with a sticker on it.
Sheesh.

I haven't heard it-but a friend tells me that the Moby song is alright-but
quite mellow-and the real standout was Stabbing Westward & Wink....Any
thoughts?

oh no!! i HATE the stabbing westward song! i didnt even put it on the
tape i made for the car. it sounds like the 2 artists created the songs
separately and then played em back at the same time!
i *do* like tiny rubberband, altho it is more bhs-ish than moby; its
something different atleast.
wasnt too impressed by tom morello, at least not as i thought id be.
my favorite? satan! that song makes me wanna kill someone and paint a
star on their forehead! (that was a JOKE) seriously though, what a crazy
song.
well thats my 2cents on spawn..

I agree. The Westward/Wink song is my favorite too. It is very
catchy and it's got some cool 303 (acid) noises.

Subject: (mobility) A lengthy review of Spawn by someone w/no credentials.
WARNING - This is babble-material, and may put you to sleep.
Well today i got the spawn thingy, and its not the greatest soundtrack..
The Saint had better songs, but still there are some cool songs.
The Filter/Crystal Method, Manson/Pimps, Orbital/Hammett, Korn/Dust Bros.,
Stabbing/Wink, Prodigy/Morello, Rollins/Goldie are good and decent songs..
i could listen to them again..
on the other hand Metallica/Spooky, Butt dudes/Moby, Mansun/808,
Silverchair/Vitro, Incubus/Greyboy, Slayer/Atari, Soul Coughing/Roni Size
were the ones i really didnt care for..
I really was kinda disappointed with the Moby track.. the first 5 seconds i
thought it was gonna be a cool song but then that damn butthole started
singing. and the rest was unrecognizable moby drum stuff.. no cool sounds
and whatnot from the mobyster. I dont know maybe i need to hear it more,
but i think Moby was stuck with the wrong band.
I think i liked the Orbital and the Stabbing tracks the most..
The Stabbing/Wink track though was horribly recorded or something like
that.. it sounded as if Chris Hall was singing in a bathroom with his mic
turned up too high..
although the wink stuff in the beginning and the drums i couldve listened
to for an hour.. i love that stuff.. If u havent heard any of Winks early
stuff u should give it a listen, some nice stuff..
and last and certainly least..
whats up w/Atari Teenage Riot? isnt that a song they used in their album? I
mean i know it probably isnt but the damn programmed beats were so alike..
sometimes I wonder how hard it might be to scream one liners and push knobs
on a box to make their music.. just my opinion though.. i used to like them
when they first came out..
well i think ive babbled enough.
I think maybe the Spawn sdtrk wouldve been more suited for a soundtrack
similar to the Crow, instead of this media stunt, with tag team music. but
hey whatever gets us to buy it right..
but all i know is i wish i could have my eyes glow green like Spawn ;)
toodles

Subject: (mobility) LTJ Bukem & Blue Light
I just realized I've never actually introduced myself to the list, and
I've been on it for some time, so here goes.
My name's Jon, I'm 21 & I'm from just outside of Toronto. Since I was 15
or 16 I've been into industrial (Coil, BiGod20, Die Krupps etc.) but in the
past few years I've been getting into more techno oriented stuff; as
industrial has been way to stagnant. I don't really remember *why* I
bought Everything Is Wrong-I know that I hadn't heard it previously-To be
honest I think that it was the gorgeous cover that did it for me, and since
it was on the $13.99 new release rack I took a chance. I liked it, but
really didn't pay that much attention to it. That only lasted for a
month-a friend new that I had it, and taped the "Move" version of "All That
I Need Is To Be Loved" off of the radio for me. The moment I heard it I
knew that I'd been overlooking something really special. I've got a nasty
habit of buying *everything* by an artist that I like (eg. 47 nin cds, 26
kmfdm, 14 underworld etc) and I've started to do it with moby, and this is
what I've got:
I Feel It
Move
Everything Is Wrong
Disk
Everytime You Touch Me
Everytime You Touch Me Remixes
Into The Blue
Into The Blue Remixes
Bring Back My Happiness
Everything Is Wrong DJ Mix 2cd
Animal Rights UK 2cd
That's When I Reach For My Revolver
That's When I Reach For My Revolver (w/ GMOTFOTW)
Come On Baby (6 track)
Animal Rights US
Rare: The Collected B-Sides (w/ Go mixes)
Voodoo Child: Higher
Lopez: Why Can't It Stop?
Lopez: Emptiness
DJ Cake: Sugar Baby
Voodoo Child: Dog Heaven
*ANYWAY*, back to the original reason I'm posting this:
1) Has anybody heard "Music" by LTJ Bukem? It's on the "Logical
Progression" album, and about 7:20 into the song I'm almost 100% positive
that he samples the female vocal from "I Feel It"....useless information
2) Just wanted to let you all know that I finally heard "The Blue Light Of
The Underwater Sun" for the first time yesterday. Wow, it really blew me
away....

ain't it the truth?!!? seems like every industrial band that cums
out sounds EXACTLY the same as any other. how much can you really
do with angst anyways? never heard a pleasant industrial song,
with the exception of some kmfdm....
"we like talking dirty, we smoke and we drink, we're kmfdm, and all
other bands stink!" gotta love them lines....but anyways....

you are right, that's the same sample, but it isn't liscensed by moby.
that's a common vocal bit used in lots of techno/electronicstuff.

this is in my top of all moby songs. the perfect blend of eveything
he does well.
