I think we should worry aobut cutting people's tracks only if there is a need
to. I really doubt that we even HAVE 74 minutes of music submitted even WITH
the multiple tracks from the same artists. I know that from doing the 1st CD,
music became a little hard to come by even when the initial survey revealed
that I SHOULD HAVE gotten about 20 tracks intead of 9 or 10.
Greg, can we PLEASE get an update on the CD?!?!? Can you let us know about
deadlines, progress, etc.? I am sure we would all be interested in hearing
from you on this.

Mix & Bassline Mix). "Only Time Will Tell" is Ten City.

yep. chase it down for the oval track (or perhaps the seefeel track).
i like the moby track, don't get me wrong, but i _love_ the oval track.
i haven't heard a _lot_ of their work (i have dok and diskont), but

I have another CD to add to my list of overpriced cds... today i finally
got around to picking up the richie hawtin mixmag live cd. i must say i
enjoy it a heck of a lot more than the moby/sven vath cd. listening to the
richie hawtin cd makes me look forward to seeing him play this march break.
whoo hooo! the moby cd... well... i'm glad i got it used. the live moby
stuff on the come on baby single is MUCH more enjoyable.
oh yeah. i also picked up the touch and go single, "would you...?" and i
have to say its TOTAL cheeze! ick ick ick... the remixes are some of the
worst i've ever heard in my entire life. the only reason i'm not marching
downtown to sell this sucker right this very instant is because of the
sentimental value and the kick i get out of hearing the sample.
does anyone else even KNOW what i'm talking about? oh well...

Maybe is a changed similar to what he accomplished with AR, but, this

I asked a friend to get both singles (original and remixed) in London,
and it was that "huh?!" you're talking about. I personally prefer the
Rollo & Sister Bliss mix (TWIRFMR mix is great, too).
Talking about Honey and the video... I cant believe the country I live
in... Until I set up a dish at home to see Astra sat., couldnt manage
to see a Moby's video... I feel I was kinda isolated before this.
Future rules!

I couldnt say that "Joyful Girl" Ani was the same as "Wishing" Ani,
featured in "My Best Friend's Wedding"...
Anyway, I like Jackal a lot ;-)

Last Saturday, talking about old music with some elder friends (you know,
you always look like a childish guy who only knows this week's artists),
I mentioned Bessie Jones, and that Moby sampled one of her songs, and
one of my friends know her... I hope he could hand me any recording, or
tape, or whatever with "da song". Keep you informed.
BTW, they were talking about "The Smiths", a British band of the 80's,
I remember.

this list has gone far too boring, and i am too bored to read it anymore..
i don't really wanna even know your personal moby favourites or something
like that. some point for the mails , please.
and other thing is that moby's music is ain't as good anymore as it was
back in 92-95.. almost every new produtions are quite awful, i hate to say
that, but i think so.
personally i have gone more for deep house and stuff like that. I just love
that deep & mood chicago house, that is what good music should be. i love
kevin yost, mood ii swing, wamdue kids, jori hulkkonen , glenn underground
and artists like that. anyone else here who likes too?
moby's music is too "pop" for me nowdays.
