Pros: Intriguing, Excellent sound, Well Mixed, Emotive Cons: Subjective, Capitalistic in Presentation
Allow me to eliminate one of my own Cons from my review: I wrote "capitalistic in presentation" above and while I stand by it, it is not a fault of this c.d. per se. The idea of this complaint is that the music inspires spinoffs that become...
Pros: Great music; variety; marries electronica and gospel/blues very well. Cons: Gets a bit repetitive.
I bought this album after months of intrigue based on the various videos and songs I had heard in various places. Apparently every song on the album has been licensed in some form, be it movie soundtrack, advertisement, or in a TV show. I'm pretty sure...
Pros: Blues, gospel, techno, New-Age - this CD has it all! Cons: There's a fine line between creative and robotic... Some tracks cross the line.
Aaaargh! Why do I always hear the best records later than everyone else? Here I am, writing a review on an album that was all hyped up in 1999. Please don’t accuse me of recycling old hype, as it stays just as fresh two years on. It’s a classic, whose...
Pros: Incredible use of electronic sound that will move you in more than one way. Cons: Some songs are a little boring, you need to be in the mood.
When I first heard the song Porcelain it was in the movie The Beach. I fell in love with it instantly, and was on a mission to find out who was responsible for such a great creation. I got The Beach Soundtrack, which I will likely...
Play, brainchild of veteran dance man Moby, is a strange creation: rather warped in its fusing of what one would normally dismiss as incompatible genres ? blues/gospel and electronica - and although aimed at making money, yet with no...
Pros: Loads of great music from beginning to end. Cons: A few generic techno songs.
Moby is one of the most notorious figures in modern music. He has gained a reputation as a vegan preacher, much like Michael Stipe of REM. But that reputation should not overshadow his music, which is very good. Moby is a DJ who creates many songs by...
Pros: An interesting mix of jazz and ambient styles Cons: 'Bodyrock'
Moby has created an interesting album he explores the lost art of old world blues. How I got Moby (in a nutshell). Watching MTV (one of the few times they were actually playing videos) I saw the 'Natural Blues' video with Chrstina Ricci, and Moby. I...
Pros: very fulfilling in its originality. funky. fun gospelly. (english is so limited) Cons: too short!
I know what you're thinking. You're probably saying, "she likes Moby. Oh how Madonna of her. Next thing you know she'll be going on about Beth Orton and Macy Gray and speaking with a British accent interrupted periodically with her true New Yawkese....
Pros: Good place for those who are wary of electronic music to start, Great sampling savvy and musicianship shown by Moby, Good essays in the liner notes, Porcelain is a great tune Cons: Some throwaways, Some songs might turn off those that just aren't into techno
I have never been a big fan of electronic music or "techno". When the whole genre sprouted up out of European clubs I secretly hoped it would die a quick death. I was a little quick in my opinion, and have actually enjoyed some electronic...
Pros: Fabulous intro to Moby's music Cons: It only contains 18 of the hundreds of Moby tracks available :)
This opinion is a little bit different. It isn't so much about Play. It is more about what Play is similar to. I don't think I need to tell you to buy Play if you don't already have it. There are a few dozen opinions already telling you to do that....
Pros: Very catchy sound. Amazing to listen to. Cons: No lyrics with the CD.
Moby is probably on of the most creative and talented artists of today. Not only does he do all his own mixing, he plays all the instruments himself. He isn't a professional musician (by my standards anyway), but he's a very creative guy that decided to...
Pros: Varied, different vocals every time, nice background, some good songs Cons: Lots of poor songs, too many repeated lyrics
Take the the South Side, add a bit of Everloving, Natural Blue, and a dash of Honey, and what do you have? Moby's platinum album, Play. This album possesses, to say the least, the most creative, unique, and varied music I have ever heard in my entire...
