>Fortran 5's track remixed by Moby is "Heart on the Line";(Voodoo Child
>Mix & Bassline Mix). "Only Time Will Tell" is Ten City.
Thanks for correcting me! I got some wires scrambled last night,
something to do with the Superbowl hullabaloo. I was thinking of John
Lydon, Ten City, Fortran 5, Pet Shop Boys, Aerosmith and the B-52s all
at one time. I remember you identified the Contracted mix of Voodoo
Child at a club, and you corrected my error here. It sounds like you've
got extensive knowledge of Moby's remixes, vinyl, and who knows what
else. If I remember correctly (which I usually don't) your name is Rob.
You should write more often!
Samu, I like the interesting ways Moby's music is growing, forwards and
sideways. I live near Chicago and I mostly detest the deep house and
jazzy house, like Boo Williams, Glen Underground, Cajmere, etc. Maybe
it's a geographical overexposure thing? Do you always have to listen to
pop music in Finland? I understand where you're coming from though, as I
don't like James Bond Theme. Oh, and sharing favorites is a good way to
get some conversation going, which is good.
One of my sister's friends claims that he has a sampler disc with a 1:30
snippet of a remix of NIN's Hurt which is credited to Reznor/Bowie/Moby.
I won't beleive it until I see it. Can anybody shed some light?
Production credit, maybe, not remix? I've never heard anything about
this before, but he says the sampler was made to test remix ideas and
see if they should go ahead and purchase/produce them. He used to work
for Sony/Jam!. He's a big metal & classic rock fan, but my sister has
got him listening to Feeling So Real and Bjork's Hyperballed. I loaned
him those two singles plus the Richard D. James album. Anyways, he
promised to bring over that sampler for me.

TWIRFMR - Mainly 'cause it was the first one i heard, and it just stuck...
>4) Which song is your favourite?
Easily "Dog Heaven - Extended Mix" on the Dog Heaven Single
>5) If you could be anyone, who would it be?
Just out of curiousity, what difference would it make?
The guy/gal who invented the wheel, so maybe i could feel like i've made a
difference on this craphole of a planet......

The bald one.

Why, since the Greeks?

So you're saying the current western capitalists ideals
haven't stolen any of man's essential rights? I agree that
communism did not give man his freedom and essential
rights, either, but working for a more community minded,
less selfish approach to life is surely a good thing, for
everything around us?
Take a look at the third world, East Timor, Amazonian
rainforests, etc, etc and tell the people living there,
that the capitalists of the world haven't stolen any of
their basic human rights.
So what did you talk to Moby about when you met him, if all
the previous didn't bore you enough not to read it?

I really like to say that i love moby's old material.. when i heard some
oldskool techno like "drop a beat" or "go" my body and my mind goes some
other planet :)
But, nowdays most of the Moby's material is shit. There are plenty of good
too, but i really hate his hardrock/heavy metal experiences and also some
poptechno like "james bond theme".. but honey was good, i loved that groove
around Bessie Jones sample. But I also have to say that i liked Sharam (man
from deep dish) mix more than Moby's original.
And for you Steve.. You better check out soon new 12" on guidance from
finnish trio called "nuspirit helsinki" in march. There are also longplay
coming soon.
I really also like to say that we have really good house and jungle scene
at finland.. that's the way i came across to chicago deep house and stuff
like that. Best house music is coming from Us, that is fact.
Btw,sorry about my bad english :)

Ick. Last day of freedom before I start chemistry tomorrow morning bright
and early at 8:15am. ick ick ick. don't ask me why im filling it out...
i'm taking a break and i felt like writing something of little substance to
the list. (oh wait... ALL my posts are like that. my bad. hehehe). i
wonder if this survey is going to start another flame war? hrm.... well,
here's my two cents.
> >1) Do you like Moby?
no. actually i hate moby and i'm plotting to kill him, and i'm just
gathering background info on him, hence the fact i'm on this list. geeze.
of course i like moby. but I like new order and richie hawtin more than
moby at this point in time.
> >2) Which album is your favourite?
End of Everything. by far my fave.
> >3) Which single is your favourite?
TWIRFMR. gotta adore lovesick. and displaced and sway are pretty damn cool
too.
> >4) Which song is your favourite?
umm... changes a lot. i've always been fond of everything is wrong on
(duh) EIW. twas one of the first moby tracks i had ever heard. i love slow
motion suicide too.
> >5) If you could be anyone, who would it be?
i'd want to still be me, but 4 to 5 years older and a professional
photographer who messes around with an electronic music side project.
similar to my old side project, FOAD, but actually releasing something to
the general public, therefore being able to tour. and having my own record
label. something like plus 8, where i can release what i think is
innovative and cool in my own mind.
> >6) Which hairdoo looks best on Moby?
moby needs dreads. that would be cool. blazing red dreads. oh wait...
that's what i want. my bad. err... who cares what his hair looks like?
he's still the same person inside.
> >7) When do you predict Moby will next tour?
don't know, don't care. i'm more concered getting trent reznor off his
lazy ass and going on tour. i've been wanting to see nin live for soooooo
long now, and it doesn't help that my boi saw the self destruct tour and
was five feet away from trent. grr...
> >8) What type of pet(s), if you have/had?
>
cats, dogs, fishies... does a furby count as a pet too??
> >9) Where would you go if you could go anywhere in the world?
Ireland. I want to meet the rest of my family.
> >10) What is your favourite colour of socks and why?
my fave pair of socks is blue and white. wait. what the hell kind of
question is this??
> >11) What do you think will happen in the year 2000?
well... in the spring of 2000 i'll finally be done highschool and out of
this horrid town i live in full of horrid people... and that's a good
thing. but basically, i don't believe the hype. the year 2000 will have
some minor annoyances, but that's it. now watch me be totally wrong...
> >12) Where do you think you will be in 10 years?
maybe a published writer, maybe some sort of recording artist. hopefully
an acomplished photographer and a university graduate. and oh yeah. ten
years older.
> >13) What's your favourite colour of toothbrush?
>
dumb question. a toothbrush is a toothbrush.
>
> >14) What's your biggest pet peeve?
people who call themselves DJ such and such. half the time they're really
crappy DJs anyway. if you're really that great of a DJ, do you really need
to be called DJ *insert crappy name here*?? and DJs who writE thEir namEs
likE this. WE GET THE GODDAMN POINT!! *ahem*
> >15) Do you want to be buried or cremated?
dunno yet. i don't even know if i want my organs donated or not yet.

beh. cookies suck. non dairy pudding snacks. those rawk.
