MOBY - Must HAVE!


Ever wondered how a rather awkward looking, vegan electro-pop geek like Moby has managed to sustain his commercial and critical success for the past 11 years? Well, as this 15 track “best of” collection featuring crucial cuts from critically-acclaimed albums such as Play, 18 and Hotel testify to, Moby has never been a one-dimensional beat boy.

He segued from the savvy American Primitive synth-pop shuffles of "Honey" and "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?" into ecstatic soul-gospel pop anthems such as “In this World”. He introduced a decadent indie-dance cocktail back into the clubs with "Bodyrock" and the hypnotic half-tempo rock ballad “We are All Made of Stars”. Hell, as his breakbeat blancmanged re-version of the 007 theme tune from Tomorrow Never Dies and his delectable new retro disco pop duet with Debbie ‘Blondie' Harry, “New York, New York” reminds, Moby’s magic is that he’s always been on a mission to renovate the dance floor with an all comers aural feng-shui that anyone would be happy to hear in their living rooms.

JA NEE WANT THIS ONE FOR XMAS! :) (hint hint)
