I removed the link to http://www.moby.org/info/mobyvid.txt quite
awhile ago when I realized that there was no way I could maintain
a videography.  If someone would like to do it, I could post it
on moby.org.  Call it version 2.00, I think. :)

Subject: (mobility) moby videos

As far as I know these are the videos he has done
Go
Next is the E
Move (You make me feel so Good) I have this and it is funny as hell
seeing him in the skin tight latex thing
Hymn - 2 versions (one is the black and white on disk, the color one is
on the rock video
                              monthly thing usually on ebay)
Feeling so Real - funny to see him dressed as a woman, kind of cute, on
the tape mentioned
                           above
Everytime you Touch me - on both the disk and rvm tape
Into the Blue
Bring back my happiness
Come on Baby (have this on PAL and still have not transfered it)
Revolver
James Bond Theme
Honey
Run On
Bodyrock (i believe there is 2 versions of this, a US and a European
version)
Hope this helps.  I believe someone awhile back from Europe gave a
listing of all the videos and the ones that had video remixes also.? But
anyway bye Keith

Moby added the choral part. I'm really not sure if the distortion was there
originally, but it was changed from the 'natural' state of the sample. So
your answer is either A) Yes, Moby added it or B)Both. It was already there,
but Moby modified it by adding the choral element and possibly by altering
it in other ways, too. I've heard the original sample, and the singer sings,
"These open doors." It's much, much clearer and easier to recognize and
decipher in it's original* state. In "Why Does My Heart...", the added
choral element gives it an uplifting, spiritual tone, in my opinion. I think
Moby chose to do this because A) it sounds great and is emotionally resonant
& B) it fits with the 'introspection' theme that shows up frequenty on Play.
I guess I'm one of the few who thinks of this as a happy song.

*I heard that sample less/not distorted and modified, but it was already a
sample at that point, not the original recording it came from. I need to go
back and listen again, but some of the background distortion you mentioned
may be audible in the previos incarnation of the sample. The distortion was
certainly modifed, though.

Hi Folks,
    When Brad Caviness and I talked to Moby in Dallas last week he said that
a video had just been completed for the song Shaumgummi...  It hasn't been
released and who knows if it ever will..... but he said that they had
contacted the people working on Mike Meyers new movie - Sprockets.  Maybe
when that movie comes out 120 minutes and amp will play it

Well, considering how old the recordings were, they were most likely sampled
off vinyl.
Some of the samples he cleaned up a bit, others he left them like they were.
He evens adds scratct/vinyl effects, such as the sample that starts and ends
Porecelain.

  Well I've been on this list for a long time, but haven't posted in quite a
while, so I'll just throw out everything that I've been wanting to say and
ask:



  I'm a regular listener and contributor to National Public Radio, for those
that don't know, its a national network of nonprofit radio stations, mostly
the format is classical music, whith a few shows oriented toward Jazz,
Opera, and even a show called Hearts of Space that plays "electronic" music,
mostly ambient and "space" stuff.

  Anyway, a few weeks ago a talk show used Porcelain in one of their
interview sections, about 2 weeks after that a show called "All Things
Considered" gave Play a review, a pretty substanative and positive one, if I
had the transcript I would post it, but you have to pay about 15 bucks for
it, sorry, don't want to afford that.  But they did dub Moby a pioneer in
electronic music and said that he "humanizes the usually inhuman electronic
medium."

  Just thought I'd mention those two sightings.

  Also, for those of you who really like to ponder things; when you listen
to "Why does my heart feel so bad", the main voice singing that Moby sampled
has back ground noise that is extremely distorted; was this intentional or
was he trying to drown out the original music to isolate the main voice and
that is a consequence?  Those who are into sampling themselves could really
help, or if anyone has access to the original recording that Moby sampled
could also help.  I'm just wondering because the same distortion effect of
the background doesn't happen in other samples, or at least it isn't
noticable.

  If you are going to respond please change the subject to reflect what you
are responding to, thank you.

  Chris Bourke.

Ok this bullshit...irving plaza is a ticketmaster venue, and ticketmaster
doesn't even has it as an event. Also on the irving plaza website the show
isn't listed.  Considering that irving plaza isn't too small of venue also
and that it's not a cheap place just to "rent" out.
You can't throw independent show at a venue that is sponsored by
ticketmaster.

 I can't believe someone is bitching about Edge 102 in Toronto.
Thank the good Lord that you HAVE a radio station to listen to that
plays a lot of good music (Moist, MGB, Big Sugar, Eco Crush,
OLP, etc).  Why not come to Cleveland where you can listen to
SHIT all day long since the only alternative station was bought up
and now plays shit rap and all the other stations play Zeppelin day
and night.  At least I can listen to Edge with real audio but I don't
have it in my car.  Enough ranting.  Moby Wednesday nite here in
