18 by Moby (CD - 02/01/2006)
"18" (02/01/2006) R&B Moby, V2 Records (USA)Personnel includes: Moby (vocals, various instruments); Jennifer Price, Azure Ray, Dianne McCauley, Angie Stone, MC Lyte, Freedom Bremner, Sinead O'Connor, Shauna & Lorraine Phillips, The Shining Light Gospel Choir (vocals). Includes liner notes by Moby. "18" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Personnel: Moby (vocals); Shining Light Gospel Choir, Freedom Bremmer, Shauna, Lorraine Phillips, Dianne McCaulley, Jennifer Price, MC Lyte, Angie Stone, Sin?ad O'Connor, Azure Ray (vocals). Audio Mixer: Moby. Liner Note Author: Moby. Photographer: Danny Clinch. Continuing to deliver the kind of soulful electronica with an ethereal sheen that made PLAY such a breakthrough album for him, Moby keeps the good vibrations going on the equally engaging follow-up 18. Having previously drawn from such disparate sources as subtle dance beats and samples of African-American spirituals, it's not surprising that this devout Christian once again looked to the church for recruits. This time around the talents of The Shining Light Gospel Choir (the revival-like "I'm Not Worried At All" and the sweeping "In My Heart") and the recently ordained Sinead O'Connor (the lush "Harbour") get tapped. Moby avoids making 18 a strictly austere affair by throwing some beats onto the barbie in the shape of the thumping Angie Stone/M.C. Lyte collaboration "Jam For The Ladies" and the subtle cut-and-paste funk of "Sunday (The Day Before My Birthday)." Moby does a fine job manning the mike himself for the striking '80s-style electro-pop meditation "We Are All Made Of Stars" and the equally gorgeous soundscape "Signs Of Love." Ever the sonic chef, Moby has once again succeeded in whipping together a collection of songs that are the musical equivalent of comfort food.

18: The B-Sides by Moby (CD - 02/01/2006)
"18: The B-Sides" (02/01/2006) R&B Moby, V2 Records (USA)Contains a bonus DVD which features videos from "18:..", a live concert from Glastonbury in 2003, outtakes & bonus songs, and a megamix. Personnel includes: Moby (vocals, various instruments); Azure Ray, Jennifer Price, The Shining Light Gospel Choir, Angie Stone, MC Lyte (vocals). Displaying a knack for keeping his name in the public eye and his music in their ears, Moby once again follows the path blazed by his PLAY with b-sides reissue. This time around, 18 B SIDES ups the ante by also including a bonus DVD chock-a-block full of extras, including a complete live set from a 2003 Glastonbury show. As for the CD side of the coin, the Connecticut native continues to traffic in the kind of compelling dance music that kicks off enough of an ethereal edge to blend in and soothe rather than disrupt a cool mood. "Nearer" brings together swirling synths and a gospel vocal that'll make you feel like you're waiting to meet a higher power, the gorgeous "Stay" comes off like a Velvet Underground-era Lou Reed outtake, and the lush "String Electro" features an unobtrusive beat gilded by an anonymous female vocal. With the music serving as an appetizer for this collection, the bonus DVD serves as a meaty main course that not only includes the aforementioned concert, but outtakes and demos from his last two albums, videos, and much more.

Hotel [3/22] *
"Hotel" (02/01/2006) Electronic Moby, V2 Records (USA)Initial pressings included a bonus disc. Personnel: Moby (vocals, various instruments); Laura Dawn (vocals); Scott Frassetto (drums); Shayna Steele, Jason Candler, Kurt Uenala, Orion Simprini, Brian Sperber (background vocals). Following the runaway success of PLAY and 18, Moby takes a detour into pop/rock that leaves his signature sample-heavy electronica by the side of the road. Keyboards and drum machines are still prominent here, but they are used as background for Moby's songs, which often aim for a majestic, redemptive atmosphere. With the exception of live drums, Moby plays every instrument on the album, and sings lead on numerous tracks. Although, he's not a natural singer, Moby manages to make his half-spoken phrasing fit surprisingly well with the music, leaving the more emotive vocal tracks to Laura Dawn, as on her drowsy rendition of New Order's "Temptation." The anthemic "Lift Me Up" and "Spiders" are prime examples of Moby's pop-savvy direction, revealing what seems like a yearning to get in touch with his inner U2 and Coldplay. On HOTEL's second disc, however, Moby returns to the ambient work that garnered him attention in the early 1990s. These wonderfully quiet and dreamy instrumental tracks make for an excellent counterbalance to the songs on the first disc, proving that Moby remains an intriguing, multifaceted artist.

Ambient by Moby (CD - 07/12/1993)
"Ambient" (07/12/1993) Electronic Moby, InstinctSolo performer: Moby (various instruments). Photographer: Jill Greenberg. Sure, we all know that Moby can drop a beat like he was the house DJ at the funkiest warehouse party this side of the South Bronx. But that's not all the Evil Little Ninja (which along with Voodoo Child is one of Richard Melville Hall's many aliases) can do. For within Moby there exists a classic dichotomy; on one hand, there's Moby the rock-the-house DJ, and on the other hand there's a quiet and meditative musician. AMBIENT is a collection of some of the most beautiful atmospheric music one can hear this side of early Brian Eno (who, along with Kraftwerk, is a clearly a formative influence). Moby, a frequent contributor to various soundtracks (see also I LIKE TO SCORE, a collection of his soundtrack contributions) seems to be writing soundtracks this time for the movies in his head. And what soundtracks they are! "My Beautiful Blue Sky" is the perfect soundtrack to the long lost sequel to 2001, while "Heaven" could be the background to a cheerier BLADE RUNNER. AMBIENT is a meditative flip side to Moby's usual party and perfect for mellowing out to after dancing.

Play by Moby (CD - 02/01/2006)
"Play" (02/01/2006) Electronic Moby, V2 Records (USA)Personnel: Moby (vocals, various instruments, samples); Pilar Basso, Reggie Matthews, The Shining Light Gospel Choir (vocals). Includes liner notes by Moby. PLAY was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. "Bodyrock" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. "Natural Blues" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. The Limited Edition packaging of PLAY: THE B-SIDES includes new essays, photos and drawings from Moby. Personnel: Moby (vocals, keyboards). A marked departure from the sound of his groundbreaking EVERYTHING IS WRONG and his subsequent hard-edged output, PLAY finds Moby charting new territory. Abandoning the breakneck drive of techno punk for looser, groovier structures entrenched in dance-oriented hip-hop brings a whole new feeling to Moby's vast and varied sonic canvas. Several songs, including the hit single "Honey," are distinguished by the appearance of early American field recordings, looped bits of African American spirituals and folk songs culled from the Alan Lomax catalogue. Moby's penchant for complex composition is in evidence here, as layer after layer of keyboard ornamentation, percussive effects, guitar, vocals (Moby sings and also plays all the instruments), and pulsing, echoing beats create a rich, deeply textured tapestry. PLAY shows that Moby's sophisticated sense of sound collage hasn't dulled, and the combination of these wide-ranging sonic experiments with unique historical samples and rootsier, more accessible beats indicates his ever-changing vision as an artist. Moby broke new ground in electronica with the 1999 release of PLAY, which found him delving into old field recordings of gospel singers, blues shouters, and work songs, while adding his own electronic wizardry. This mix of past and future spoke solidly to the present, and cast Moby as an individualist in a field too often filled with lemming-like trend-followers. This limited-edition version of PLAY is a two-CD affair that contains not only the original album tracks, but also a wealth of B-sides from PLAY's single releases. On the latter, Moby experiments even further with his unique mixture of organic and electronic sounds. To sweeten the pot still further, photographs and new essays by Moby are included in the elaborate package.

Rare: Collected B-Sides by Moby (CD - 08/20/1996)
"Rare: Collected B-Sides" (08/20/1996) Electronic Moby, InstinctRARE: THE COLLECTED B-SIDES collects the B-sides of the records Moby recorded for the Instinct label. Personnel: Moby; Nicole Zaray (vocals). Personnel: Nicole Zaray (vocals). Audio Remixers: Jam & Spoon; Moby. Recording information: 1989-1993. Unknown Contributor Roles: David Lynch ; Angelo Badalamenti. Collectors. You can usually spot them skulking their way through the darkened streets at night, wearing their official tour jackets and clutching to their bodies a stack-load of obscure Belgian-only 12" dance remixes of their favorite songs. No one knows where exactly these rarities are obtained, and the true collectors never reveal their sources. The vast majority of fans are usually left forced to watch and drool in their frustration. Luckily, Moby understands the anguish that his fans go through in trying to catalog his prolific body of work. RARE: THE COLLECTED B-SIDES is manna from heaven for those unable to find those Moby rarities. Moreover, Moby's throwaways could move even the Amish onto the dance floor. With fat grooves like "Voodoo Child (Poor in NYC Mix)" and the "Next is the E (Club Mix)," it's easy to see why these b-sides have finally been collected together on one CD.
