Play - Moby

**Introduction** 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!

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 ...  Read the complete review

Moby? That weird looking little fellow? Yeah that's the one! Remember that album he did back in 1999, ten years ago. How good was that! Many of the songs on this album have been used in TV ads and are instantly recognisable. There are some real classics on here. It was just something completely different! I'm usually into my rock and indie music, but I do love this album. So why is it so good? Well here what the songs are like: 1. Honey - Upbeat start, very repetive words but it just works. Not the biggest song on the album but still a good start. 8/10 2. Find My Baby - Quite a slow laid back feel to this one. Bulids up slowly and then ...  Read the complete review

Moby - Play Play is Moby's 6th studio album, released in 1999, though to be honest I had never heard of him before this and I confess to buying this at the time simply because of the hype surrounding it, well, to be more accurate, the hype that my mates made. In the CD booklet Moby shares his wisdom with us in five essays: 1. Fundamentalism. Very naïve but well intentioned. 2. Drugs and prisons. Not a bad stab at a very complex issue, but hardly Nobel prize standard. 3. Being a Vegan. Sanctimonious ass, really. 4. Racism & Holocaust. Fair points. 5. Christians and ...  Read the complete review

I was pleasantly surprised when a friend of mine lent me Moby's 'Play', infact I was very impressed. I appreciated Moby's work, but ever since the release of this album I just regarded him as 'that guy who's music is on almost every TV ad known to man', and so I never really gave him a chance. I just thought he was a soundtracker, which is a naive and dumb way to perceive any artist, but hey it happens. Sorry Mr Moby. Straight from the piano heavy opener of 'Honey' complete with funky beats and vocal blues samples (dotted over many parts of the album) I was pretty hooked by the album, it took me a few more listens to ...  Read the complete review

Well, the title says it all. This is basically moby's best album so far. It has a good mix of tracks, and is brilliant for listening to on the pc while your working. There is also a limited edition copy of this album with a second cd, with the never released b-sides. These are ok, but you can tell why they didn't make it out on the initial release. Quite a few of the tracks on the b side cd sound a little similar to the play cd. A few tracks worth mentioning: Bodyrock-If anyones seen a sitcom on sky1 called 'veronica's closet' this will sound very similar. This is because Bodyrock is used for the opening credits on the ...  Read the complete review
