...is of….. …..Moby - Play (The no.1 selling album) Please note: The CD listing is slightly different to the DVD (As I reviewed previously). **Genre** For those who don't know a lot about Moby's music, this CD Album is different from most mainstream chart music you would hear. It features great beats, rhythmic tempo and you can really feel yourself within the music. If I was to assign this CD album to a genre I would classify it as down tempo - ... Read review

Advantages: A good mixture of tracks , for all moods!
Disadvantages: A tough act to follow , this gem !

...closer inspection the cd contains 18 tracks ,with an inlay of more pictures of Moby in similar circumstances. There is also an essay on mobys thoughts and beliefs and how it influenced his choices in making this cd. Something he takes seriously . The tracks themselves are a good mixture of old style Moby meets new , with the familiar instrumental strings, beats, samples and on this cd gospel thrown in as the main feature! So here is the order ...
...piano riff throughout. 12. 18 - Another lovely tune , instrumental with piano and strings , very calming influence. Again nice to rest to. 13. Sleep alone - Moby laments in this and is quite a slow piece. Probably the track Im most likely to skip . 14. At least we tried - A lady sings with melancholy about love . 15. Harbour - The longest track on the cd , with the vocal talents of Sinead o conner , haunting tune with strings . 16. Look back ... Read review

Advantages: Rhythmic simplicty masks symphonic depth, consistently upbeat and refreshing
Disadvantages: Could use a little more variation

...album is darkly moving. The last track "Last night" is another example of the slower side of the album, a good fadeout with some bluesy aspects that is well worth a listen. A bit of pub/bar-room trivia for you all: Grandmaster Caz, famous for weighing in on hip-hop bombshell 'rappers delight' and not to be confused with Grandmaster Flash, makes a vocal contribution on "I love to move in here". Put simply: If you're a fan of Moby, buy this record. ...
...buy this record. , buy this record. If you like to loose it on the dance-floor … buy this record. There are one or two weak links but as a whole it's an easy album to love and easily deserves a place up there with the best of Moby. Best Track: "Every Day it's 1989" Worst Track: "I Love to Move in Here" ... Read review

Advantages: Nice variation of electro, house, disco and techno
Disadvantages: Camp overtone

One of the many infamous DJ Kicks albums, this one from the electro king of camp - Tiga. Tiga's, from Canada been around for many years, owns his own electro/house label called Turbo. I have been a fan of his music and mix CD's since I started gaining an interest in electroinc music. Some of his early CD's and productions were more on a techno vibe with his latest stuff on the more electro housey tip. Anyhow, this DJ Kicks installation is an oldy ...
...in the series. The style of it is mainly electro house with hints of disco and techno thrown into the mix, all tracks seemlessly mixed together in a nice progressive order. There is also quite a camp element in the album as he is prone to getting on the mic and singing a few lyrics. This is apparent in Miss Kitten's classic 'Madame Hollywood' which he has changed to 'Mr Hollywood' with the addition of some pretty camp lyrics but still quirky and ... Read review
