I have to put in ONE cent in this hotly debated, controversial cd rack debate. The worst thing you can do is buy one of those pre-slotted cd racks (most of them are). These should never be used, if you intend on categorizing your cd's in anyway (I do it by artist, and chronologically within). Say you have your Moby collection in there, and you buy one old Moby cd you didn't have before - now you have to reorganize your entire collection. Anyways, the cd "rack" is the way to go, that is, the kind where you can put a cd in anywhere you want, without much rearranging. Sorry for the lack of Moby content. RRR aka delobbo

Hey, how did you get to hear that? Live? The song index lists it unreleased.
Moby's evil alter-ego (evil ninja Moby?) could make another one called
"motor oil mix"

BTW: I like the page you edit even though I don't know who the bands are. I
like reading record reviews even when I don't know the music. Ricochet's is
particularly interesting because the Christian's music is walking an almost
parallel line to mainstream and it's interesting to hear the comparisons in
the reviews. Why no picture? Just that other dude talking to you on the
phone.

that might be because of the fact that it's 40 bucks and it doesn't even
list what songs are on it. What good reason is there to not list what
tracks are on a cd? Still, I've got to admit that I'm contemplating
buying it.
Ok, now the Moby part...
I've heard that Moby does a rap on some song for a group called Recoil..
how hard is this to find, and is it worth getting?
thanks

I used to have the 'Batcan' and I couldn't GIVE it away
at the used record stores...
(the limited ed batman soundtrack in a can)
because they didn't know what it was or if it was real or something
(plus it was sooo funny shaped, it wouldn't work in the racks)
I really like that CD, but I needed money and expected
it to be valuable...
well, that's damn boring. On the artist formerly known as 'the artist
formerly know an prince' (when he decided that name sucked)
I haven't heard anything since then (89)
but those outfits!!! geez, makes me want to deny ever having
purple rain or 1999!!!!
At any rate, I tend to dislike anything with a hip-hop/urban
kind of sound- so I really kind of dropped prince from my
personal playlist..
which brings me to Massive Attack-
I wish I could hear a song or two (mp3s?)
Some people have said it is dark, gothic influced electronic music
which intrigues me greatly-
But then also people have said it has a hip-hop/soul kinda thing
going too, which makes me hesitant-
Too much of that kinda ruins it for me...
I'm really turned off by the yo boy sound
It ruined quite a few MLWTTKK songs in my opinion, is MA like them
at all...soimetimes dark, gothic, techno- with divas and a soul pop
kind of sound over all of it?
A good parrallel example with Moby would have to be the
reggae guy on Feeling So Real- he ruins it for me sometimes.
Although songs like Move have a real diva soul kind of thing
going, I really love it- it works great for me somehow.
But it's not a general rule- I've bad tripped on crappy house
too many times, and most soul influenced divas turn me off.
There are exceptions though...
My 2 cents plus interest, since I haven't posted much lately

YES. I don't care for the Moby track all that much, but the rest of
that album is excellent. Recoil is Alan Wilder from Depeche Mode,
and I think he was the best part- a very talented songwriter
that was not allowed to contribute that much with Martin in charge.
Moby also does a remix for Recoil on the Faith Healer CD single
(the Barracuda Mix)
Other vocalists on the recoil album include the singer from Nitzer Ebb,
(Faith Healer), and Toni Halliday.
That album shouldn't be hard to find, I have the mp3 of Curse
as well as faith healer (Barracuda Mix)if anyone wants it.

Subject: (mobility) crystal ball info
i'll keep this non-moby related post short:
crystal ball is not selling because:
A. - it's way overpriced
B. - the track listing is only available here:
http://www.crystalballcd.newfunk.com/
C. - if you ordered it directly from the man himself, you got 2 extra
cds albums (never released before) and a t-shirt, plus ltd packaging.
D. - there is no single to support it/no airplay
E. - nobody really cares anymore besides his fans
ok, that's all.

Thanks for the compliments. I have an interview with Moby in the can I
conducted for Daniel Cerman/Moby.org that I'm thinking of revising for RIM
either in August or February. Moby is also appearing on "v.beta" RIM's very
first cd compilation. He was gracious enough to donate an edit of "dog
heaven (extended mix)." The cd should be released July 4th weekend and will
be available via RIM OnLine (http://www.ricochetmusic.com) mail order for $7
(includes shipping). Other artists appearing on the sampler include Every
Day Life (LA rap/punk), Vigilantes of Love (the best band out of Athens,
