New Moby

JDN · 9th April 2008

anyone else out there really liking the new moby. I don't think it's groundbreaking, but a really great sounding, original CD ala moby. The electronica, techno, what ever you wanna call it genre seems so nameless and faceless a lot of the time, and i'm really digging this right now. Moby to me seems to hit you with the heart whereas BT seems to hit you with the computer, if that makes anysense.

I Like the way it's trying to capture the new york nightlife club scene from his perspective. First song is so ABBA

9th April 2008

Just listened to it on iTunes.
All I can say is: The 90s are back!

I'm not a big fan of dance music (or Moby for that matter), I thought "Play" was a step in the right direction but I don't know about this one.

BT I think is an insane programmer that doesn't put out anything that seems to move me, except for "This binary universe" which I think is his best work by a thousand miles.

EDIT: Yeah, it's pretty much shit.

I think this album is really lame. Poor 90's recreation which actually turned into self parody- also soundwise. One good hook in first piece is really not enough for a whole album. Beside this guy repeats himself on each and every album- somebody please steal his string synths, cause I cant stand it anymore.

cheers

Don't like Moby. And believe me when I say I know my dance music. He expired long ago.

Moby's first record was great. This one... No....

BT was good, when he had those big beautiful epic trance tracks in the late 90s... Flaming June is still a killer imo.

Live he is great - I went to his Spring Break PAnama City gig about 8 years ago- he really rocked for more than two hours. But as for albums I agree - Play was the last sensible thing he did.

I REALLY loved Hotel, really showcased his songwriting as opposed to just techno. I also liked the very similar album that followed, with stars. I just thought this new album had a cool retro feal, was fun, and had the new york late night club vibe he was looking for....I thought I'd post here for some moby love, had no idea they were all haters and mainstream play fans

can you tell me which synth and which patch that is please ? maybe i am the only one but i love this strings.

didn't buy it . sounds older than his first stuff and i live in 2008. he was great live when he was opener for front 242 in the early 90ies but that was way before his commercial breakthrough.

I bought Hotel and that was a mistake. I am neither a mainstream Play fan nor a hater. I simply don't care for the music he makes. It's boring.

Moby sucks...Seems like a nice guy though. He really weathered that Eminem debacle quite well too.

I have it on my TG-500(dont remember the preset #,havent used the TG for years!)
You can find it pretty much on all TG or SY series(I think Moby is using the SY-85)

Pet Shop Boys have used the same preset on a few of their songs as well

Cheers

Moby rhymes with Blow Me. He He He

A lot of stuff sounds old. I've never really been into dance or techno.
How 'bout some modern alternatives to Moby? I know Moby's stuff, but this album kind of makes me feel like I'm in a gay 90's club. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
I like what Moby has done. I'm going to give it some listens before rejecting it outright.

my favortie moby CD's are Hotel and the one with Stars and of course(cliche) Play...but those found records for vocals on play was pretty inovative. I'm in a minority here I'm sure, cause the CD's I mentioned are more rock and have more classic songwriting arrangements(which is maybe why I like them, I'm all about songs) as opposed to just 6 minute free form techno instrumentals.

I just figured moby was respected around here and am surprised he's not, nothing wrong with opinions, they're likd A**holes, everyone has one, and at the end of the day music(and all art) is completely subjective

What does your stinky asshole have to do with my perfect and wonderful rose smelling opinion. :-)
