Moby — Last Night

in
Yay! This is the Moby we love! No more crazy vegan punk. No more attempts at singing! No more happy rave techno with opera singers! Last Night is a collection of various dance music styles, all flowing together as one big electronic party. Moby, however has strayed from the genre for a long time now and it shows on this effort.

Moby — Hotel

Moby — 18

Fans who've waited since 1999's Play for new Moby songs should be impressed at the quantity — and quality — of music on display here. He continues to juxtapose traditional sounds of the Southern U.S. with electronic dance arrangements, a formula that proved quite popular on Play. For the most part, these familiar Moby sounds translate into...

Song Of The Day: Moby's "The Day" (Yeasayer Remix)

Yeasayer have put their own take on the first single from Moby's new Destroyed album, which comes out May 17. They make "The Day" sound even more swirly, trippy and hazy than normal, meaning that it straddles the line between experimental, electronic-influenced indie rock and ambient electronica. Moby wrote the track while staying in a Spanish...
