In case you haven't seen it, I have placed the cover, back, and cd design of the "What Love" promo cd at the page below. You really should see this if you haven't already. It's very amusing, to me, and possibly to you. I've also put some other more readily available scans up there, at rather high qualities. You be the judge. P.S. - I don't get any "hitpoints" or the like for these visits.. I don't even have a counter at my page... so don't think of this as a cheap marketing ploy to earn my PEZ candy dispenser or something... I come in peace, as I always have. http://members.xoom.com/delobbo/mobyscan.html And in other news, the topic of Moby cd collections has come up again, I noticed. I conducted a similar poll a few months back, you possibly remember. You can see the results, however sparse they were, here: http://members.xoom.com/delobbo/mobycoll.htm If any of you listed at this link right now have any updates to send me, i.e. additions to your collection, and care enough to let me know about it so I can update the page, go ahead and mail me about it. -- RRR aka delobbo Happy downloading!!

They don't have real high standards for whatever > they want to hear. This assumes that given the same information and knowledge base - everyone would be Moby freaks (I mean that in a very nice way), or would all have "good taste" in music... the error in this is thinking that preference of music is objective - that there really is a good vs. bad/poor/evil/tasteless... But the failing is in not recognizing the subjectivity of taste - the whole "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" schtick.... We can try and measure music by set criteria - but isn't that really just someone else's opinion on what's superior... Obviously we all really like Moby - why else would we be here... and that's totally cool... his music illuminates something inside all of us... But, and it pains me to say this... Moby is not going to have the same effect on everyone... we're all individuals - thus being, we're all going to like different things... And that's why Top 40 groups/bands/people are allowed to exist... we like what we like - and we should at least accept and cel! ebrate that, feelings safe in the knowledge that we have Moby and his music moves us.... And getting down from my soap box... I have to share the fact that I scored a copy of EIW w/Underwater this past weekend for $10 - imagine the sacrilege of someone giving that up - but it probably just didn't do anything for them... And with that addition, - the survey says my Moby total is 33... Thanks for stopping... Q: If you could be any animal, what kind would you be? A: You already are an animal. (D.

When I first heard it, I liked it, but also thought it was repetitive. So did other casual listeners. After tuning my head into it as well as my ears, I recognized a subtle path of variations building within the song. It is currently one of my 'relax' favorites. I've not heard the Lopez or the DJ Cake material, so I can't compare. I do like the Lopez mix of Dog Heaven, tho. -Steve Giles >Personally I found it really repetitive - definitely lacks the depth and texture that some of Moby's other creations incorporate... >But having read others responses to this in the past - I know that I am in the minority...

Just got it myself on the word from Mobility, and was ever so happy with it. I''d like to suggest Rare, which has a wonderful sampling of moby's earlier work, and comes with a free Go remix disc, making it a great value for the cash conscious. Bring Back My Happiness is a great US single which I got for 4.99 and has 4 versions of the track (one is a Wink remix, it's great) +In My Life, Alone, and Into the Blue (Jr. Vasquez Follow Me Mix) Again, a great value and great music. -Steve KMFDM 989 wrote: hey all--i'm a pretty new MOby fan (about a year) and there's a little shortage of cash in my situation here (currently unemployed--damn it i don't wanna work!!!) and i was wonderin wut Moby CD's you might wanna recommend cause money is limited, and even though i want to damn near seek them all out and buy em, it's just impossible 4 me right now.

If you don't have "I Like to Score" I'd personally recommend that one. I don't know what you mean by two copies of EIW, but I'd suggest the EIW remixes. If you like Moby's ambient stuff, try Voodoo Child's "End of Everything." This is all just in my humble 9 disc set opinion of course. - -- Ade. adekunle@anderson.edu http://picard.anderson.edu/~adekunle ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1998 17:01:02 -0700 From: Daniel Cerman <dcerman@verinet.com> Subject: (mobility) Why Can't It Stop? / CDnow Rob Skipworth wrote: > DJ Cake - Sugar Baby - $12.49 That's at CDnow? Wow. I haven't seen it anywhere for some time. > can someone tell me if there is a difference between the regular version > of Lopez's Emptiness and the import version? I think that it's probably exactly the same thing, but perhaps from different distributors. And BTW, "Why Can't It Stop?" is a great dance track. Moby plays it live and most people probably think it's unreleased, but in fact it's available. The 'b-sides' are not as 'accessible', one might say, because they are minimal and perhaps somewhat experimental. I like "The Dirty Underground", though, because after about eight minutes of emotionally null synth bloops over a steady, medium-slow beat, Moby's trademark strings fade in and proceed to conclude the piece on a very human, emotional (albeit minimal) note. If you dislike repetitive, minimal music, then you probably won't like any of the Trophy singles (except perhaps Dog Heaven). The tracks on these singles are arguably cold-sounding, dry, esoteric pieces that definitely (intentionally?) lack pop appeal and will even disappoint some Moby fans. If you are not frightened by the fact that much electronic music is minimal and repetitive, and/or if you wish to check out Moby's less-known works, then go for it. The Lopez single "Why Can't It Stop?" is certainly a good choice to test the waters. Its title track is catchy and danceable, and is like "Everytime You Touch Me (Na Feel Mix)" without the piercing wails, while the other two tracks offer a glimpse of the more 'underground'-sounding music on the other singles. If you like what you hear, then you'll probably also appreciate the other Trophy singles. BTW, CDnow has extended its Cosmic Credit Discount for another week. Until April 6, you can get $10 off of any purchase of $20 or more (limit one per customer). This is a great time to buy.

Actually, I would be VERY interested in this myself since my music collection has grown out of control in the past two years... or should I say I've grown out of control in the past two years? As for what I have in my Moby collection, I have 50 CD's that are strictly under his name. _ABOUT_ 24 pieces of vinyl that have either his name or a remix with his name on it. Plus 20 more CD's that I bought specifically for the reason that Moby had a remix or exclusive track on it. There are other CD's that I didn't include because I would have picked them up with or w/o Moby on them... such as Erasure / Jam & Spoon / Pet Shop Boys, etc... then of course, there are the posters, t-shirts, postcards, stickers, tattoo's (just kidding)... damian ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1998 18:31:58 -0800 From: rfu@stitch.com Subject: Re: (mobility) CD catalog Chris wrote: > > i have a question if someone could please reply privately..does anybody know > of any good programs available for download that help organize and catalog > your CDs..i did it as a normal text file but it's just not as fun that way. > thanks. Any database program would work well for that, finding one that is easy to configure is the hard part if you have never done it. I reccomend msql for linux, but you probably dont use linux. I remember making some extensive databases in Q&A, which was very simple DOS program, of course I haven't seen any of the updates since like 92 so I dont know if it's still as easy. paul > > <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> > Chris Perkins "It's nice to be important, > cdperk@trib.com but it's more important to be nice." > <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> > http://members.wbs.net/homepages/t/e/k/teknodeth.html > <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> > Man is no machine, Thorns they lurk on > Man is no God, rose's stem. > Mankind is, and always will be...
