I love PLAY. It is unusual in the sense that it seems almost dour in mood.
The samples are amazing, yet they seem to be used to convey a mood of almost
discontent, unhappiness perhaps. Perhaps I am reading into it too much. Oh
well, this is clearly his best work to date!

i doubt that you are reading into the cd... moby is a real experimentalist
when it comes to his music, much like a painter, i am sure he is trying to
convey his mood of discontent and unhappiness through his music... i mean, he
is one of the few musicians who can do that for me... anyone else on this
matter???

Hello,

Does anybody know what's on the b-side of the UK Run On 7" single?
(have you got this one yet, Steve G.?)
I didn't see anything about it in Daniel Cerman's discography...

Oh, and to anyone who cares:
I'm updating all my Moby WinAmp skins to fit WinAmp 2.21 and higher.
They will have a skinned equalizer WinShade mode (Thanx Tommy!!)
I'll let y'all know when they are available...

Moby Plays With Hip-Hop Roots.  Electronic artist's new album also
incorporates vintage folk and blues samples.

Contributing Editor Brian Hiatt reports:=20

NEW YORK -- After devoting himself to noisy punk rock on 1996's Animal =
Rights, techno veteran Moby has returned to electronic music on Play, =
released Tuesday (June 1). But it's not exactly the electronic music his =
fans might expect.=20

"It always surprises me when people talk about electronic music and =
exclude hip-hop and R&B," Moby said as he sat on the roof of his Lower =
East Side apartment building on a sunny, spring day. "There's nothing =
organic about [them], and I mean that in a positive way. Hip-hop and R&B =
are just as electronic as Aphex Twin."=20

"Hip-hop and R&B are just as electronic as Aphex Twin." -- Moby

Such Play tracks as the album's first single, "Honey" (RealAudio =
excerpt), and the upcoming second single, "Bodyrock" (RealAudio =
excerpt), use thumping, syncopated beats and turntable scratching =
clearly derived from hip-hop. The simple piano part that runs through =
"Honey" was inspired, according to Moby, by a sample used in the 1987 =
song "The Bridge Is Over" by rapper KRS-One's Boogie Down Productions.=20

While his roots are in techno and punk, the 33-year-old artist called =
himself a longtime hip-hop fan, citing rappers and producers like Rakim, =
Busta Rhymes, Timbaland and DMX as favorites.=20

Moby even indulges in a bit of low-key rapping -- which he prefers to =
call spoken word -- on some Play tracks, including "Rushing," which also =
features a lush, melodic chorus and a biting, bluesy guitar solo. Moby =
played or sampled all the music on the album.=20

Play betrays influences well beyond hip-hop. Just as prominent are =
sounds from a more unlikely source -- early 20th century folk and blues. =

On "Honey," "Natural Blues," "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad" (RealAudio =
excerpt) and "Find My Baby," Moby puts his studio wizardry to work on =
ghostly vocal samples from vintage field recordings made in the South by =
the late music archivist Alan Lomax.=20

He used the field recordings, he said, for purely practical reasons. =
"The nice thing about those recordings ... is that they're all a =
cappella," Moby said. "There's no music attached to them so it's easy to =
sample them and chop them up and make them songs."=20

If there's a novelty aspect to mixing vintage Americana with the =
glistening, pulsating sounds of 1999, Moby doesn't admit to it.=20

"My only goal is to make music that excites me," he said. "I never try =
to be innovative."=20

Mixing genres of music is nothing new for Moby, who came to prominence =
in 1991, when he was a rave DJ, by releasing a house-music version of =
the theme to the television show "Twin Peaks."=20

Born Richard Melville Hall, he played in punk-rock bands as a teenager =
and released his self-titled debut album in 1992. His 1995 major-label =
debut, Everything Is Wrong, won critical acclaim for its mixture of =
dance music with orchestral and rock sounds.=20

Animal Rights, on which he plunged headlong into punk and metal, was =
received with less enthusiasm. After Animal Rights, he released I Like =
to Score (1997), which consisted mainly of songs he'd written for =
soundtracks.=20

In spite of the grandeur of some of his music, Moby hardly exudes an =
unapproachable aura. During a recent interview, there was a large hole =
in the right knee of his jeans, and his green T-shirt had seen better =
days.=20

He was a solicitous host, even insisting on holding down a troublesome =
"record" button on an interviewer's microcassette deck.=20

Like almost all of Moby's recordings, Play was recorded in his amply =
equipped home studio, which takes up the first room of his spacious, =
light-soaked apartment.=20

Clearly, he doesn't mind spending time there -- Moby said he wrote and =
recorded no fewer than 250 songs in the course of making Play. He =
estimated that he recorded "maybe 40 or 50 punk-rock songs; 30 or 40 =
house-music things; 30 or 40 things that are in the style of this =
record, that could've been on this record but just weren't good enough; =
and then just a lot of crap -- non-genre-specific garbage."=20

Moby will have an opportunity to leave the studio when he takes Play on =
the road. The artist is planning to tour U.S. clubs with a full band =
from mid-July to mid-August. No dates have been finalized, according to =
his official website (www.moby.org).=20

In the meantime, Moby is making a few promotional appearances, including =
an in-store performance at the Virgin Megastore in New York's Union =
Square Wednesday. The 10 p.m. EDT performance is scheduled to be webcast =
by SonicNet at midnight.=20

i would love a picture. really! but i have to be

touches me deeply! his politics touch me many
ways...equal parts
agreement,anger,belief,confusion,misunderstanding. but
at the risk of taking that last posting far to
serious..i don't assiciate him with god(any god)or

Subject: (mobility) Creative Writing from reviewers?

Is it me or does every new interview or review for Moby
state "he is Richard Melville Hall, he did a house version
of twin peaks, he started techno, blah blah, then they mention
he used hip hop styles. and blah.

no one seems to mention the other tracks, particularly at the end,
no one seems to ask him good questions, cept for one interview which i
thought was good (Michael Matos one)

it seems like theyre saying "oh i have to interview moby, hmmmmm i'll
get the Encyclopedia of Music and look up his name, and use that!"

i guess to a certain extent for people who dont know who moby is, its good
info, but it gets kind of repetitive.

really i think the review should just contain stuff about the album and
maybe
what was on the previous album.. but stating his life story in two sentences
has been done too many times.
maybe on interviews.

maybe its like film reviewers, its all just opinions.

oh well,

Subject: (mobility) Play with Myself

I got Play yesterday, I've probabaly listened to the whole thing close to
ten times now. I really love it.

I have to say my least favorite track is South Side. It's kinda sorta okay,
but man... it just really seems like Moby wrote it specifically to be a hit
pop song. And I don't necessarily think there's anything really wrong with
that, but I do think South Side is one of the weakest tracks he's put out.

But the rest of the album is sooo good... Everloving is now one of my all
time favorite Moby songs, as are Natural Blues, Guitar Flute and String, The
Sky is Broken, and My Weakness.

I love Porcelain, although I think the version on Playing by Heart is a
little better. And I gotta say I really dig Bodyrock. Definite Fatboy Slim
influence there.
    All in all, Play is pretty much in my top three favorite Moby albums,
along with Animal Rights and End of Everything.

That's my 2 cents 4 now...

Dan Lee
