Play - Moby

The recently released Play with Play-The B Sides gives anyone who hasn't already bought this CD no reason not to. 16 pounds will now get you 29 tracks, with every one an instant classic. Everybody by now will know tracks like Porcelain, Natural Blues and Why does my Heart..., but any other song on this album, except 7 (only because it lasts about a minute) could happily be singles in their own right. This album also caters for a wide range of tastes, ...

Review of Play - Moby

This album by Moby is really good. Moby has lots of different styles of songs on this album, some are relaxing, some are not. The lyrics are very good and there is something about him that makes you want to listen to his songs again and again. My favourite songs on the album are "Porcelain" and "Natural Blues". I prefer his relaxings songs on the album. Song of his songs are also really, really strange and make me wonder what they are actually about. ...

Review of Play - Moby

I must confess to not being a fan of the music my son enjoys, but this album is truly magnificent. The sampling of early 20th century blues combined with 21st century dance rhythms shows that this guy is a real genius. "Natural Blues" is easily my favourite song at the moment, but I can't think of any track on the album where I need to find the skip button, not something I can say for many albums I purchase! Moby told Jools Holland that the tracks ...

Review of Play - Moby

...The thing about this album is, you could play it in the background and not notice it's there. It's a strange thing, because the songs are basically strong, but the odd couple have a bit missing. It's a good album nevertheless, but it could have been great. ...

Review of Play - Moby

Moby has succeeded in providing us with another great album. The American Vegan sticks firmly with what he does best, yet of course he does it very well. There is a great range of sounds in this album - from the upbeat track of BodyRock to the mellow sounds of 'Sky is Broken'. They all have the idiosyncratic Moby feel to them - often ambient, in places quite Gospel. Although most of it is synthesised, which may irritate some musicians out there, ...
...music in some of the later tunes. Perhaps one of the greatest flaws of this album is not actually Moby's fault - it's so popular that these tunes have been used far too much for commerical purposes. You'll recognise some of them instantly from TV advertisements, and many others for incidental music in TV coverage. However, this means you're on pretty solid ground - there won't be many surprises - but it's merits as a musical journey encompassing ...

Review of Play - Moby

Moby's ever evolving style has most recently resulted in an album called "Play". If you needed me to tell you that WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS ? In a cave in Nepal ? Anyway, if you haven't bought this album yet ( and I can't believe there are some out there who haven't ) go and do it. You will be greeted by an album of music of the highest quality, the hippest kudos, the strangest lyrics and most enjoyable tracks you will have heard ...

Review of Play - Moby

Apparently the whole of this album has been licensed for advertising, and no wonder. The first one I heard was "Find My Baby" , used in the Nissan Almira ad, and when I found out what it was I immediately bought the album. Then I realised I knew Run On , Porcelaine (from The Beach), South Side and lots more. Its a wonderful fusion of old and new and everyone will love it, if not they must be deaf. If you've got this you know how good it is, if ...

Review of Play - Moby

This is one of the most boring albums I've ever heard. I've read some of the reviews, and this is not even close to techno / trance / electronica. Not only that, but most of the album wasn't even done by Moby. It's old recycled stuff with a bassline and drum beats spliced in. It does have its redeeming songs like Porcelain, Natural Blues, and the radio-friendly, Bodyrock, but on the whole, this is NOT the album it is been hyped up to be. Borrow it ...

Moby...class geezer...quality music. So yes, it was obvious I needed to buy the album. I'd heard that all the tracks on the album have been featured on TV and in adverts (although I don't recognise a lot of them). On the whole, the album is good and all the classic tracks are there (Natural Blues, Porcelain, Why does my heart feel so bad? etc). The album does get a bit boring towards the end but that's understandable with 19 tracks. Good album ...

Review of Play - Moby

Moby has definately outdone himself this time with his new album, "Play". I bought this album solely on the strength of one song "Find my Baby", which to me was an amazing track in itself. Then I listened to the rest of the album, amazing, every track was a joy to listen too. I had originally thought I had only known "Find my Baby" but there is a few tracks on the album most people would have heard on adverts on the TV and not even known that they ...

...is a refreshing change. Play fuses blues, gospel and dance to create an intelligent and addictive soundscape. Presenting a diverse range of styles this highly talented artist has enjoyed well deserved critical acclaim. Those who have never knowingly heard Moby will be surprise how familiar many of the tunes are immediately familiar. ...

Review of Play - Moby

And I always thought Moby was Welsh. All the signs are there: descended from Wales, eats leeks. Like the astronaut on direction-warping drugs, I'm left asking where can we go from here? Nowhere. Quit while you're ahead - it worked for Chris Isaak and he had a body to go with it. That's crazy talk, said the psychiatrist to the crazy person talking to him. Be good at your job, and if you can't for reasons of lack of talent, laziness or dishonesty, ...

I said to mine, I said, I said "Mind where you go mind, for you have but one mind and minding where you go leaves a terrible taste in your mouth." That's a complete lie, I never said that in my life, but once I said Moby was Welsh and like a prayer, Madonna believed me. What precludes is late 90s ...

I came across the Moby Album rather by accident. Having heard the releases of a couple songs into the charts, I wasn't sure really what to expect from the album. It's a strange album, with some excellent tracks. If you liked any of the released stuff, chances are you'd like the Album, and should buy it. You do have to like the released stuff if you are to enjoy the album, as Moby has quite a unique, and perhaps odd style, so it's not a "pick it ...
