Melville, especially if you don't actually listen to the music and focus instead on his ultra-PC interview style or the manner in which he sold dozens of songs to commercials and film soundtracks back in Y2K. But to do so is to knee-jerkedly miss out on some very fine and innovative music by one of the most influential musicians of the last decade. With the exception of two tracks (one of them the title tune), Go is a best-of from the years that Moby's been on the V2 label, from 1999's breakthrough hit Play onward. But Play--with its uncanny reworking of field recordings with playful beats and ambient textures--remains the artist's finest moment. A full disc of remixes and a smattering of unreleased songs (including a rad new number with Debbie Harry on guest vocals) make this an essential purchase for rabid fans. And, as a judicious selection of Play-era material is included alongside the finest songs from Moby's subsequent albums, 18 and Hotel, this is also the perfect entry point for the more casual fan. --Mike McGonigal

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.Includes a bonus DVD.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.[Reviews]Rolling Stone (5/23/02, pp.77-78) - 3.5 out of 5 stars - ...His impolitic insistence on stroking his pop-star ambitions...has been good for his music, forcing him to master the pop virutes of melody, variety and rhythmic drive...Spin (1/03, p.72) - Ranked #29 on Spin's list of 2002's Albums of the Year - ...Somber like a Sunday afternoon.Entertainment Weekly (12/20-27/02, p.126) - Ranked #8 on EW's list of 2002's Albums of the Year - ...The tracks that merge his trademark aural wash with sensual female R&B voices from the '60s and '70s are some of the year's most rapturous music...Q (12/02, p.66) - Included in Q Magazine's The 50 Best Albums of 2002.Q (May 2002, p.105) - 4 out of 5 stars - ...Its music is more sensitive, its emotions more personal and...what's on offer is a closer, more inviting experience....They're songs rather than cleverly arranged loops...technically complete and emotionally raw...Alternative Press (5/02, p.77) - 8 out 10 - ...18 makes PLAY sound like a what-if experiment in techno blues...Everything is bluesier, achier and more awestruck....Moby's contradictions give 18 its depth and forgive the extrapolation of PLAY's blueprint...CMJ (5/13/02, p.4) - ...Moby the composer and musician emerges as an emotional lover of soul music and R&B....features a batch of diverse, uplifting and melancholy songs...Vibe (June 2002, pp.147-148) - 3 out of 5 - ...Moby reveals a weary, wary soul on...18....setting samples of blues and gospel recordings from the '30s and '40s to a mournful, contemporary beat...n
Advantages: A long history of prpducing high quality and astoundingly diverse music. Disadvantages: Some of his earliest techno work is not so good.
...by compiling them onto a two-CD set 'Everything Is Wrong - Non Stop DJ Mix By Evil Ninja Moby' (Mute, 1996). This era also saw the beginning of Moby writing essays for the inlay cards to his albums, embracing environmentalism, vegetarianism, pacifism and democracy.
His final release on 'Instinct' came in 1996, a two-CD set, 'Rare - The Collected B-Sides 1989-1993' and 'Go - The Collected Mixes'. This is the definitive guide to Moby's earlier work, taking in some of his best mixes ('Drug Fits The Face (Drug Free Mix)' is a notable high-point) and other works. This album, like 'The Story So Far', includes his successful attempt at the world record for fastest song ever recorded - 'Thousand' - an unlistenable techno-hardcore monstrosity which accelerates to over 1000 bpm.
Also in 1996 came Moby's next album of original material, 'Animal Rights...

Advantages: Tantalises your ear buds! Disadvantages: Probably not too everyones taste!
...**Introduction**
For those of you who have read my Moby Play DVD review you will know that I am a massive fan of this extremely talented musician. I have purchased this particular album, 3 times since its release in 1999. This just proves what a fan I am of this highly acclaimed and powerful album that has sold over 8 million copies worldwide! I can't live without the inspirational tunes of this album! Each track means so much to me emotionally and I am about to tell you why with both fact and opinion! I will list some of the lyrics for particular tracks so that you can appreciate for yourself the intensity of this man's composure talents.
You will find that most of the albums' tracks have very few lyrics (In comparison to fellow artists) and offer a lot of repetitiveness. I find this all adds to the intensity of this outstanding...

Advantages: Very Catchy Disadvantages: Lots of instrumentals
...When I bought the Moby album I wasn't sure what the other somgs on the album would be like. The reason I bought this album was because I liked the following songs 'Porcelain, Natural blues' There's something about 'Moby,' that is really original.
There are 18 tracks on this album and they all sound different, What I mean is that i've bought albums in the past and the songs all sound the same.
Honey:
Very catchy, a real foot tapper, quite repetitive. 9/10
Find my baby:
Not my favourite song on the album, feature Moby saying 'I'm going to find my baby,' all the way through. Although there is a good instrumental going on while he's chanting.
4/10
Porcelain:
Very Mellow, calming and relaxing. Quite a slow song, with a fast instrumental in the back ground. Quite a sad tune. One of my favourites, easy to relate to. 10...
