Subject: (mobility) Moby in Time
Well Time has another article on ecstacy. They just had one a couple months ago, but that's OK, I enjoy them. Anyway, there were quite a few snippets about Moby in the article "Rave New World", nice article too. So I'll type out the Moby parts.
One electronic musician who is definetly getting a nod these days is the American deejay-composer Moby....Moby used his palette skillfully. He got his start as a deejay, but he also sings and plays with a backing band when he's on tour. His 1995 album Everything is Wrong sold about 125,000 copies. His critically acclaimed new album Play, which samples old blues songs and sets them to futuristic beats, has already gone platinum...."The consolidation of all the different record companies under big multinational parent companies", he says, has spawned the current crush of mass-producing teen pop acts. "Your BMGs, your Sonys, your Time Warners...nothing against these companies, but they buy music companies and they expect music to perform the way that, say, snack cakes or liquid paper performs. There's so much comercial emphasis on disposable pop music that I think it leaves people desperately looking for other types of musical expression."(Goes on to talk about Moby's music being used in commercials)...Moby says he tried smoking pot when he was 11 or 12 so he could hang out with the "cool kids", but that was pretty much the end of his experimentation. Says Moby: "I've never tried ecstacy, I've never tried cocaine, I've never tried heroine. I don't think there's anything ethically wrong with drug use, but the reason I stay away from it is that I value my brain too much. I don't want to trust my synapses to some stranger that I met in a nightclub. I hope to use my brain for the rest of my life."
We hope he does too....With horrifyingly generic teen pop acts blaring out from MTVs Total Request Live day in and day out, it's a wonder more kids haven't turned to drugs to escape the awful racket. (haha, I just thought that was funny) Sure, a fair amount of electronica is wordless wallpaper, but slip on Moby's soulful, cerebral Play, and you won't need any substances to get high. The music will take you there all by itself.
Don't you just love that last part? There's also a picture of Moby at his keyboard and a couple with his billboard in the background. It also mentions Paul Van Dyk, BT, Digweed, and a bunch of others.
Hope you enjoyed.

Hi everyone
As instructed here is some info about myself.
My name is Shar and I am 20 and live in Dundee. I just stumbled onto the
Moby site tonight so decided to join to talk to others who love Moby.
My fav albums are Everything Is Wrong and Play. My fav tune (at the moment)
is Find My Baby but it wil probably change the next time that I listen to the
new album.
The first tiem I came across Moby was at a party a few years ago and I have
been hooked every since and I can't wait to see him at a few festivals this
summer.
Speak to you all soon
Shar

Funny, my brother downloaded this also but quickly out it elsewhere on his
computer so it doesn't show up as being on his Napster server. I don't know
who has the copyrights to it but what I do know is I would get anything
that says Metallica off your Napster directory or else face the wrath of
Lars Ulrich. :)

Subject: (mobility) *NON-MOBY* (sorta)
Hi, this is sort of non-moby related, though not entirely :)
Anyways, I updated my websites
http://www.tonematrix.com
&
http://www.mp3.com/tonematrix
The tonematrix.com site now has all of my remixes, including the co-winning
remix of Orbital's "Way Out", which was in the Orbital Remix Competition,
plus 4 other Moby remixes (God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters, Myopia,
Everything Is Wrong and My Weakness). As well as a remix of Lange's "I
Believe".
The Orbital remix has been approved to be on my mp3.com page.. So you can
download the mp3 from there as well as listen to a streaming mp3 in either
LoFi or HiFi.
And then of course theres my own music :)
If you like electronic music.. then I suggest you take some time to take a
listen :)
Sorry to bother the list, but I just need as much support as I can get, and
I appreciate any and all support.
Thank you,
Eric

Subject: Re: (mobility) Moby in Time
So what's the url? I'd like to see him. Funny, I am on a rave list and
someone posted the url to the extacy article, but I didn't think to look for
anything else that might be good. Since when did Time write stuff like this?
I thought they were all about wallstreet and stuff that apply to the way old
generation. (not that walstreet can't be for a 20/30 yr old).
Later

Subject: (mobility) Returning to the List & New Moby Releases?
Hi all my old e-mail address got scrubbed and this is my new e-mail address.
To answer the old questions (I don't think I answered the first time
around):
* Name = Ruben Blanco
* Age = 25
* What is in your Moby collection (or a general idea)
All of the major releases and an extensive *ahem* mp3 Moby collection.
* Where you first heard Moby or how much of a fan you are
Heard music at a local club when GO was brand spanking new, and have
liked MOBY ever since. Saw him in Denver last year, was going to see him
when he made it to Las Cruces in New Mexico (Moby was opening for Bush in
the MTV 2000 Campus Invasion Tour), but concert was on the day before EASTER
and I was out of town during the time. So I am fan and would like to meet
MOBY some Day.
* Other artists you like
Anything Electronic/Trance/Ambient/Trip Hop/Chill Out Music artists in this
vein are too numerous to mention.
OK NEW MOBY RELEASES:
I don't know of the discussion going on lately but I am really excited about
the new Moby song FLOWER to be in the new "Gone in 60 Seconds" movie
Soundtrack. Plus it will have the excellent BT - Never Gonna Come Back Down
song.
Can somebody post or e-mail me the Porcelain CD Single release playlist.
Supposed to be released June 12th (I missed the FTP MP3 post :( a while
back.)
Well that's all for now.
Thanks,
Ruben A. Blanco

Subject: (mobility) New Moby Releases?
I'm not sure if its been talked about already (been away from the list for a
week) but has anyone seen that CDNOW is listing a Greatest Hits cd for Moby
in advance orders?
It doesnt show anything but a tentative release date. No tracklisting or
anything.
Anyone know anything about this?

Subject: (mobility) Hi guys
Hey everyone
I just subscribed to the list and I wanted to introduce myself. I'm 17 years
old and first became interested in Moby because I heard about 60 seconds of
Honey online. (I had previously only heard his remix of the James Bond theme
and also from Oil 1 of the Saint soundtrack) I was intrigued because it was
so radically different from everything else being done in music today. I
promptly went out and bought Play; shortly after that I added Everything is
Wrong and I like to Score to my collection. I think I am going to get to see
Moby for the first time in August, at the Rolling Rock festival in PA. Is
anyone else going? Maybe I could meet some more die hard fans there :) I
also was writing because I had a couple questions:
First of all, does anyone know of a site where I could download some Moby
videos. I have never seen any of them before, except the James Bond Theme and
Bodyrock.
Secondly, I am interested in getting some of the singles/more rare CDs but I
am not sure where I should buy them. Would most mainstream record stores be
able to order them for me? Or would I have better luck ordering from an
online store? (If this is the case, could someone please recommend a site
that is reliable and not too expensive. I have never ordered online before
and am a little nervous about getting the best service.)
Any help in these areas would be appreciated :)

Subject: (mobility) Flower
Hey I just got the new Moby song "Flower" off Napster and it is really good.
If anyone wants to download it from me let me know. I guess it's my turn to
introduce myself-my name is Alison, I am 17, and I live in Chicago. I have
been a fan of Moby ever since he redid the James Bond theme. (I love James
Bond so that just contributed to me becoming a Moby fan) So far I have seen
Moby only three times but I hope that it will be more in the upcoming years.
First saw him at Woodstock '99 (7/24/99), then in Champaign, Illinois
(4/14/00), and last but not least Q101 Jamboree in tinley Park, Illinois
(5/20/00).
Sorry I am boring you but I just wanted to say hello to all you fans out
there. Oh yeah the Moby cds I have are Animal Rights, Play, I like to score,
and everything is wrong. Nighty nighty people =)

I just looked it up on cd now myself.... no idea
what songs are on it, but WEA/Elektra is the
distributor, so it is undoubtedly material from
Move/EIW/AR/and ILTS. Hopefully it will have a
good deal of alternate mixes, some previously
unreleased material and good song selection.
