Average Rating: Rating: - Ambient stuff is nice, but the techno fluff is trite This CD is a compilation of Moby's four albums on the Elektra label. After listening to "mobysongs" numerous times on my CD player I have come to the following conclusions: 1) I like most of the longer ambient pieces on the CD ("Alone" a stand out here). They emanate a meditative, relaxing feeling that makes for great background music when I am cooking dinner or just sitting on my couch. 2) I like a couple of the shorter, more pop songy pieces ("Into the Blue" stands out here). Moby has a great sense of orchestration on these pieces. 3) I enjoy most of the layered trance pieces, most done with electric piano (a/la "God Moving..."). To me, this repetitive layering is the "moby sound." 4) Finally, I am not so fond of the techno, 140 beats per minute dance pieces. Songs such as "Move", "Anthem", and "Feeling So Real" come across as trite and above ground to me. It is the same feeling I get when listening to much of 1980s dance/techno music. All in all, I would say this CD has a few good moments, but that overall one would be better buying one of his individual CDs rather than the "mobysongs" compilation. Rating: - Moby is up there with the greatest! A collector's item. "Songs" basically summarizes the New York DJ's efforts from 1993 to 1998, allowing listeners who are new to his music, or who might have first heard of his work through his 1999 VERY GOOD album album "Play", a chance to get exposed to his earlier work. I would like to cover each of the songs real briefly, so it can be made evident how eclectic an artist Moby is: 1) First Cool Hive: You have heard it. Sounds a lot like some of the "Play" songs. 2) Go: first written by Moby in conjunction with David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti (long time scorer for Lynch's movies), has certain elements from Twin Peaks 'Laura Palmer's Theme. 3) Into The Blue: sweet Mimi Goese's voice accompanies Moby's music. Song #14 has Mimi Goese as well, and both rank among the best of the album. 4) Now I Let it Go: like a celtic melody, very quiet an soothing. I let it go as well... 5) Move (You Make Me Feel So Good): very dance-oriented tune. Most likely you've heard it on some disco floor. 6) I Like To Score: a very funky down-tempo guitar-driven tune, very contagious, very hard not to tap on the floor to it if your listening to it while sitting. 7) Anthem: a trance tune with some Gregorian chants/Opera voiced over. 8) Hymn: very sweet, piano-drive tune, very "Play"-like as well. 9) Feeling So Real: a very 'pop' techno tune. Not one of my favorites from the album, in all honesty. 10) God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters: one of Moby's most beautiful compositions. You've heard it, I'm sure. If you haven't you need to. 11) Alone: just feels like walking on your own through the middle of the desert... at night... a 10+ minute epic. 12) Novio: (boyfriend, in Spanish) another beautiful Moby tune, revisiting the Gregorian chants theme. 13) The Rain Falls & The Sky Shudders: one of those songs to sit down an listen to on a rainy afternoon. Actually has the sound of the rain in the background. 14) When It's Cold I'd Like To Die: Mimi Goese interpreting yet another beautiful tune with Moby's music. 15) Living: very optimistic tune with a guitar leading it into 16) Grace: Moby's closing statement for this compilation album says it all. Incredible song. Not hard to find some Brian Eno-like influences in it. Whether your musical preferences are along the lines of dance music, new age, Gregorian chants, or just about anything, this album deserves room in your collection. It carries incredibly beautiful as well as vey contagious songs, that will make you respect Moby (as I now do), and most likely expand your collection to contain all his albums.
