Editor's Review:

The long awaited follow-up to 1999's Play has arrived and once again, Moby has put a traditional "pop" song out as advertisement for the album. So naturally, the herds of consumers are flocking to stores, only to find that the rest of the 18 tracks are simply beautiful, having nothing to do with average popular music. "In This World," "In My Heart" and "One of These Mornings" are most certainly the highlights though at least 12 others are good in their own respect. Moby uses his own electronic traditions to combine jazz, gospel, techno, ambient, classical and rock music together seamlessly while maintaining a certain unexplainable rhythm through the album's entirety. But I must say; I could listen to "I'm Not Worried at All" all day long.

Moby

Bio[+]

Being born the great great grandnephew of Moby Dick author Herman Melville, it isn’t a far stretch to see where Richard Melville Hall got his nickname. Moby began playing classical guitar at an early age, and as a teenager found himself immersed in the New York punk / noise / new wave scene. After dropping out of college, Moby began DJing in nightclubs, and his 1991 single “Go” was an unprecedented hit in the UK. After signing with Elektra in 1994, he released Everything is Wrong in '95, earning him the first taste of critical praise. Not one to be easily categorized, his next full-length release Animal Rights was an electric guitar-fueled endeavor, and the ’97 follow up I Like To Score focused on re-devising film music. In 1999, Moby released the chart-topping Play, launching him into superstar status.
