"Animal Rights" (02/11/1997) Electronic Moby, ElektraPersonnel: Moby (guitar, keyboards, drums, percussion); Hahn Rowe (violin). Audio Mixers: Alan Moulder; Moby. Photographer: Moby. The two guitar-based, pseudo-hardcore punk songs on EVERYTHING IS WRONG whetted Moby's appetite for destruction enough to yield ANIMAL RIGHTS, an album that is chock-full of guitars. Although ANIMAL RIGHTS is book-ended by two melancholy acoustic guitar and violin duets ("Now I Let it Go" and "Love Song for My Mother"), the rest of the record contains the kind of raucous and loud music Moby made with the obscure punk band the Vatican Commandos. Fans of Moby's ambient work might not find this record as appealing as those who favor Moby's aggressive side. However, it might be hard for anyone to resist the hard soloing on songs like the Prince-meets-Minor Threat thrash-fest "Come on Baby" or the slam-fests that are "Someone to Love," "Heavy Flow," and "You." "Soft" and "Say it's All Mine" bring the pace down for a few moments to allow those slam-dancing in their bedrooms to rest for a moment. "Face it" could almost pass for a Black Sabbath cover. The excellent "That's When I Reach for My Revolver" is a Mission of Burma cover.

"Everything Is Wrong" (03/14/1995) Electronic Moby, ElektraPersonnel: Moby (classical & electric guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, electric bass, drums, congas, programming); Mylm Rose, Kochie Banton, Nicole Zaray, Rozz Morehead, Saundra Williams, Mimi Goese (vocals). Includes liner notes by Moby. Personnel: Moby (programming); Nicole Zaray, Mimi Goese, Rozz Morehead, Kochie Banton, Saundra Williams (vocals). Recording information: Current Sounds, New York, NY; Moby's Studio, Newyork City, NY. Photographer: Jill Greenberg. Unknown Contributor Role: Moby. At some point, every musical movement produces a work so evocative, inclusive, and challenging that it stands out as a reference for what is best in an entire musical genre. EVERYTHING IS WRONG is the WHITE ALBUM of dance music. On this album, Moby's interests in techno, ambient, punk rock, and gospel mix together in a sonic stew of epic proportions that not only holds together, but seems perfectly natural. As such, the beautifully moody "Hymn" is followed by the diva-driven "Feeling So Real," which is followed by the techno-punk of "All That I Need is To Be Loved." These tracks flow seamlessly together without a sense that genres are even being mixed, much less jumbled. But EVERYTHING's brilliance lies not so much in Moby's eclectic taste in rhythm and melody, but in the nuances of the vocals, most of which are contributed by a variety of female singers. In particular, Moby's collaborations with singer Mimi Goese on "Into the Blue" and "When it's Cold Out I'd Like to Die" are among the most revealing and humanistic moments in Moby's career. A masterpiece.

"Rare: Collected B-Sides" (08/20/1996) Electronic Moby, InstinctRARE: THE COLLECTED B-SIDES collects the B-sides of the records Moby recorded for the Instinct label. Personnel: Moby; Nicole Zaray (vocals). Personnel: Nicole Zaray (vocals). Audio Remixers: Jam & Spoon; Moby. Recording information: 1989-1993. Unknown Contributor Roles: David Lynch ; Angelo Badalamenti. Collectors. You can usually spot them skulking their way through the darkened streets at night, wearing their official tour jackets and clutching to their bodies a stack-load of obscure Belgian-only 12" dance remixes of their favorite songs. No one knows where exactly these rarities are obtained, and the true collectors never reveal their sources. The vast majority of fans are usually left forced to watch and drool in their frustration. Luckily, Moby understands the anguish that his fans go through in trying to catalog his prolific body of work. RARE: THE COLLECTED B-SIDES is manna from heaven for those unable to find those Moby rarities. Moreover, Moby's throwaways could move even the Amish onto the dance floor. With fat grooves like "Voodoo Child (Poor in NYC Mix)" and the "Next is the E (Club Mix)," it's easy to see why these b-sides have finally been collected together on one CD.

"Ambient" (07/12/1993) Electronic Moby, InstinctSolo performer: Moby (various instruments). Photographer: Jill Greenberg. Sure, we all know that Moby can drop a beat like he was the house DJ at the funkiest warehouse party this side of the South Bronx. But that's not all the Evil Little Ninja (which along with Voodoo Child is one of Richard Melville Hall's many aliases) can do. For within Moby there exists a classic dichotomy; on one hand, there's Moby the rock-the-house DJ, and on the other hand there's a quiet and meditative musician. AMBIENT is a collection of some of the most beautiful atmospheric music one can hear this side of early Brian Eno (who, along with Kraftwerk, is a clearly a formative influence). Moby, a frequent contributor to various soundtracks (see also I LIKE TO SCORE, a collection of his soundtrack contributions) seems to be writing soundtracks this time for the movies in his head. And what soundtracks they are! "My Beautiful Blue Sky" is the perfect soundtrack to the long lost sequel to 2001, while "Heaven" could be the background to a cheerier BLADE RUNNER. AMBIENT is a meditative flip side to Moby's usual party and perfect for mellowing out to after dancing.

"Moby" (07/18/1995) Electronic Moby, Elektra EntertainmentSolo performer: Moby (various instruments). This is an enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Once upon a time there was a scrawny vegan named Richard Melville Hall who easily became bored. While he liked to play guitar and jump around onstage, he also found something fascinating about the computers that bands like Kraftwerk were using to create music. With stints in local punk group the Vatican Commandoes and nationwide punk ensemble Flipper on his resume, Richard decided that perhaps he could combine the energy and dynamics of punk rock with the synthetic textures and danceable beats of dance music. And so with the name Richard Hall dropped to the wayside, Moby (a nickname that came from his relation to Herman Melville) was born. MOBY, the album, shows why musical reinvention can work so well. Where once Richard had snarled at the crowds, now Moby got them off their butts and onto the dance floor. And who could blame them? Especially not after hearing the synth chirps on "Drop a beat" or the sampled female vocals and slamming beats on "Next is the E." Some of the synth sounds seem a bit dated now, but Beck would kill to get the space-invaders sound Moby gets on "Yeah."

"Hotel" (03/22/2005) Electronic Moby, EMI Music DistributionPersonnel: Moby (vocals); Laura Dawn (vocals); Scott Frassetto (drums). Audio Mixer: Moby. Photographer: Danny Clinch. Following the runaway success of PLAY and 18, Moby takes a detour into pop/rock that leaves his signature sample-heavy electronica by the side of the road. Keyboards and drum machines are still prominent here, but they are used as background for Moby's songs, which often aim for a majestic, redemptive atmosphere. With the exception of live drums, Moby plays every instrument on the album, and sings lead on numerous tracks. Although, he's not a natural singer, Moby manages to make his half-spoken phrasing fit surprisingly well with the music, leaving the more emotive vocal tracks to Laura Dawn, as on her drowsy rendition of New Order's "Temptation." The anthemic "Lift Me Up" and "Spiders" are prime examples of Moby's pop-savvy direction, revealing what seems like a yearning to get in touch with his inner U2 and Coldplay. On HOTEL's second disc, however, Moby returns to the ambient work that garnered him attention in the early 1990s. These wonderfully quiet and dreamy instrumental tracks make for an excellent counterbalance to the songs on the first disc, proving that Moby remains an intriguing, multifaceted artist.

"Play: The B Sides [Limited]" (02/01/2006) Electronic Moby, V2 Records (USA)Personnel: Moby (vocals, various instruments). Audio Mixer: Moby. Liner Note Author: Moby. Photographers: Elizabeth Young; Corinne Day. Moby broke new ground in electronica with the 1999 release of PLAY, which found him delving into old field recordings of gospel singers, blues shouters, and work songs, while adding his own electronic wizardry. This mix of past and future spoke solidly to the present, and cast Moby as an individualist in a field too often filled with lemming-like trend-followers. This limited-edition version of PLAY is a two-CD affair that contains not only the original album tracks, but also a wealth of B-sides from PLAY's single releases. On the latter, Moby experiments even further with his unique mixture of organic and electronic sounds. To sweeten the pot still further, photographs and new essays by Moby are included in the elaborate package.

"Play" (02/01/2006) Electronic Moby, V2 Records (USA)Personnel: Moby (vocals, various instruments, samples); Pilar Basso, Reggie Matthews, The Shining Light Gospel Choir (vocals). Includes liner notes by Moby. PLAY was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. "Bodyrock" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. "Natural Blues" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. The Limited Edition packaging of PLAY: THE B-SIDES includes new essays, photos and drawings from Moby. Personnel: Moby (vocals, keyboards). A marked departure from the sound of his groundbreaking EVERYTHING IS WRONG and his subsequent hard-edged output, PLAY finds Moby charting new territory. Abandoning the breakneck drive of techno punk for looser, groovier structures entrenched in dance-oriented hip-hop brings a whole new feeling to Moby's vast and varied sonic canvas. Several songs, including the hit single "Honey," are distinguished by the appearance of early American field recordings, looped bits of African American spirituals and folk songs culled from the Alan Lomax catalogue. Moby's penchant for complex composition is in evidence here, as layer after layer of keyboard ornamentation, percussive effects, guitar, vocals (Moby sings and also plays all the instruments), and pulsing, echoing beats create a rich, deeply textured tapestry. PLAY shows that Moby's sophisticated sense of sound collage hasn't dulled, and the combination of these wide-ranging sonic experiments with unique historical samples and rootsier, more accessible beats indicates his ever-changing vision as an artist.
