 ... carefully crafted and intelligent album which owes a lot to jazz, funk, electronica and even punk in parts. Play is actually a fantastic album, after almost 15 years, it still sounds vibrant and relevant today from the beautiful Porcelain and 'Why does my heart feel so bad' with its folksy blues vibe through to the punchy focused 'Bodyrock' this is a taut, well judged album with a perfect mixture of chilled out classics and lively tunes to make you bounce around. Moby is an acquired taste, but his music for me is eclec...more

Play - Moby: Bonkers little man, or pure genious? (637 words)

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

Play - Moby: The instruction's in the title (606 words)

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

This is moby's best album (462 words)

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

Play - Moby: Getting the recognition he has now rightfully justified. (257 words)

Rating:

From ‘Bodyrock’ to ‘Natural Blues’ to ‘Porcelain’ to ‘Run On’ to ‘Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?’ only the most unembracing of hearts could really fail to understand the appeal of Moby....understated, seemingly incredibly original but more importantly very, very good. ‘Bodyrock’ the superb dance/rap track is easily the big ‘floor-filler’ with it’s sharp guitars, big beats and catchy sample. This time found he’s ‘found’ gospel and gently introduced it among some of the offerings on ‘Play’ with great effect. The MOST NOTED FACT is ...  Read the complete review
