Fine

First album in a while that I already know and like. Haven't listened to in its entirety in a long time though - here we go. I love these roots and blues samples. The piano in Porcelain.. ugh so beautiful. I always forget South Side is on this album. Bummer the studio version doesn't include the Gwen Stefani feature, she is probably why I loved that song growing up. Natural Blues another classic Album gets a little sleepy toward the end. Great album that I'll continue to return to for years to come. The piano is what really makes it special I think. 4.1/5

I had this one when it was first released. Massive then (eventually) and still holds up now. Virtually every song on this was a successful single.

I love a lot of what the album does, but I do not love this album. Moby clearly has an ear for what works and there is no denying it did well. But for me, it's like one long yet mildly pleasant television advert.

gets better, but not my thing

Okay, so long instrumental electronic albums have been bumps in this road for me since I began this project, but every once in a while one of them works for me. Sometimes something is dynamic and catchy enough to override my prejudice. I think the blues and roots music samples were what did the trick. That shit is pretty cool. Still, it overstays its welcome by at least ten minutes and can sound dated.

Kind of cheeks tbh.

One hit after another. Loved hearing this album again.

Koste meg overraskende mye med det

Actually listened to this recently, not my style usually but some good inspirational tunes

Album 54/1001 The first truly unlistenable album on this list so far. I'm well aware of Moby's music but in the sake of this challenge I thought I'd try to brave it. Got half way through the first song on the album and I'd had enough. Sorry, but no. 👨🏻‍🦲

My youth

Mellow blah memories

LOVE this album. It's a great late 90's release, and that's saying something cause the 90's kinda blew. This is a mix of old meets new, creativity abound, grooves you can chill to or dance to, it's unique, catchy and was the perfect release at that time. "Honey" (73M listens), "Find My Baby" (20M), "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad" (153M) & " Natural Blues" (185M), & "Run On" (31M) all use older recordings while Moby adds beats, guitars, percussion & energy to create entirely new songs. Throw in radio songs, "Porcelain" (361M) and "Southside (30M, #14 on Billboard), "Bodyrock" (30M), all more in the Moby electronica vibe, and you have a really solid album that captures the vibe of the time. The weakest song on the album has over 6M listens, this one stands up and still gets listened to on Spotify and the radio. The numbers don't lie. Hit album for has-been, huge payday on low expectations. Holds up well, IMO, today, doesn't sound dated for the most part 25 yrs later. The first 8 tracks (plus "Run On") make the album, the rest ("Machete", "7", "Slow Down") is average stuff but "Everloving" is a gorgeous song. The B-Side, "Flower" should have been included, but was added to the updated release with other cutting room tracks. I'd give this a solid 4.2 out of 5.

I still like this, but I don't (and probably never did) find it hugely exciting. My favourite Moby tracks aren't on here - Extreme Ways, and We Are All Made Of Stars. But it's still enjoyable, has some good beats and is quite clever. He's also a nice chap, it would seem.

not really my thing

Damn, I really didn’t think I would like this, but it was fucking great. I perceive Moby as very pretentious and I guess I am too?

This collection is really stellar. Despite fair criticism of building tracks off of peerless blues samples (ie, Black music;) a kinda weak voice; and a couple middling tracks that close out the album, the first 80% is a joyride. Soaring gospel heights; undeniable dance beats; and rich textures that still sound good. It’s a classic.

We've heard this everywhere, which makes it "good" in a sense, and I do appreciate it for what it is, and I love Moby for just doing what he likes, but it's just so... Lacking. I love a fun album, and this ain't it.

I had to laugh when the 1001 Album Generator threw this one at me. In my head, Moby has always been filed under “not exactly essential.” I remember when the album came out — I was 19 and doing my military service. It was the kind of record that just seemed to be lying around at every party. Total stoner music. Usually next to that red Morcheeba album everyone had back then. Of course, I know almost every song just from hearing them so often. This record must have played hundreds of times in the background. The songs stick in your head, but never enough to make you actually get up and check who’s playing or what the track’s called. And honestly, what is Moby? A band? Is that even his voice? “Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?” — sure, it’s all listenable, but it leaves me as cold now as it did back then. Which is saying something for music you grew up with. Sorry, Moby — still not my cup of tea.

this album made my bus ride and my day

When a weird guy makes a great music

first listen super sick

Not sure how I missed this during my university days. Decent music, but I guess I am missing the nostalgia factors others have.

I gave this a solid listen in the morning, attempting to dissect the story or the purpose of the album. That was ok. Then I heard it later on in the afternoon, walking through a crowded city on my earbuds. Today there's a beautiful blue sky and a ton of tourists. The album put a pep to my step, it felt like I was featured in my own movie, or the protagonist of a of a lengthy well produced series. The magic didn't finish at a particular track, it finished when I stopped appreciating the rest of the world with my eyes. It feels to me like this effort is great for a multisensorial experience, providing an enhancing audio track to the 'event' of our choosing. I find that really special, but also difficult to listen to on its own. 3.1/5

Great throwback. Love his style just seemed like the same sort thing every song

Great album

3.5/5

Another artist I’ve heard of but never got to hear. This is sample based dance music which can be ok but this album makes me wish that it had more adventurous content or that I was at least listening to some real musicians playing. There are some moments here and there of harmonic movement which keep it interesting however presented over an unchanging electronic beat does make it sound a little flat. I am curious though to listen to at least a couple more albums by Moby to see if anything grabs me. In the meantime unless I can muster up any desire to listen to this one again to see if it clicks, I’m afraid that this will be filed under non-essential listening for now.

Hadn't listened to this in a long time but really enjoyed the back half of the 'complete' recordings with stuff I hadn't heard before. South Side and Bodyrock remain favorites. 3/5

I think like 90% of assumptions and dislike toward vegans comes solely from Moby. I know he’s become uncool but I still like him. The dude is kinda weird and very much in his own lane, but he’s still entertaining to me even when he’s annoying. Play is a pretty fun and interesting album too. I have no affinity toward whatever techno scene so him “selling out” means nothing to me. I can just enjoy the music for what it is

This is a duplicate selection for me. Original review below, from when I was less verbose. Some interesting production techniques, but felt a bit tiring by the end

Repetitive sampling but it’s done in a pretty creative way. I was mildly enjoying this throughout, so it gets a mild 3 from me.

Listening to this while in public transport is like being the main character in a badass film with a killer soundtrack

Moby's shining moment of genius - at the time this was a game changer album, his sampling and re-use of old cotton picking songs and hymns; almost every track was used in a commercial of some sort as well. I played it so much I had to get another copy. This record is 26yrs old already!? Love it 4.5

Background music.

Wow…so many songs. So many. A good edit would create a great album. There are many that create a whole world, very cinematic, and several that seem like distractions and unnecessary.

WRAS. Album 88. 88.5 in Atlanta. I owe much of my love of music to this station. From age 14 to 18 I just learned so much. Replacements, Jesus and Mary Chain, Love and Rocket, Husker Du, Black Flag, Dead Milkmen, Siouxsie and the Banshees - all heard for the first time. And Wednesday nights Pure Mania - that was the epicenter. Like sticking my head into a centrifuge for three hours - I would emerge changed. Eventually I taped the shows and especially the weekly album side - they would play a whole album side of a recent release. And that how I came to know Mission of Burma. The album was Versus. It felt important in a way I didn't fully understand. It wasn't as graspable as the other things I was picking up my music dive. But it perked up my ears. There was something. Some months later I heard not one but two MOB songs that still define Mission of Burma for me (and many others). Songs that became bakes into me DNA. First - Academy Fight Song. This track transports you to another world. Even if that world is a boarding school in New England - to quote the song - it has a strange allure. I am still fascinated. And then... That's When I Reach for My Revolver. It defies category. A bass led anthem that defines urgency in music. It kicks ass but still has melody. It hasn't lost an ounce of feeling in the 40 years it's been in my life. As it turns out - I was far from alone because 10+ years later I hear the song on my fave Album 88. But this is not the original. It's a cover. Not a great cover mind you. But bless his heart - he's trying. This trung out to be none other than Moby. At that point my only awareness of Moby was from the Heat soundtrack - God Moving Over the Face of the Waters - an unimpeachable great track that I still carry with me. So why the hell is he destroying a formative song form my youth. But from that moment I just couldn't forgive that man. He had desecrated the sacred scrolls. So this album - I just can't. But do get listen to God Moving Over the Face of the Waters. Or even better - watch Heat.

Loved this album unironically when it came out. I knew it was uncool but didn’t care, it was fun as hell and it still is.

Fine, I guess. Starts off strong and has some bright moments, but quickly gets repetitive and dull.

Most tracks are familiar of course, but never actually listened to it before. To my surprise, I like it. I mean, I already knew Moby was capable of producing some good stuff - The Lonely Night is an amazing song (largely due to Mark Lanegan’s contribution, but still) - but I never paid attention to Play. I’m giving this five stars and feel like hunting down that Lomax collection he gathered so many of the samples from. 5/5

So much repetition—sampled vocals spin in endless loops like mantras while the techno beats are more for the dance floor rather than for listening depth. Most tracks slip into monotony, and I confess that I had to stop halfway through several. If Things Were Perfect is a rare highlight, with steady bass and reflective lyrics (I don't like the cold, either). By the closing tracks, though, the album’s energy has largely evaporated.

Awesome

In general I like downtempo electronica, but I found this album quite boring. Maybe it’s over-familiarity with the songs, but I think the fact they were all used in advertising probably says a lot about the bland universality of them. I thought the Pitchfork review was funny - describing this album as fun, functional and disposable - like a condom. I didn’t realise until reading the Wikipedia page that Moby’s name comes from the fact that he’s a descendent of Herman Melville.

This was just meh for me. Not bad, but not memorable either.

Ohhhhhh man...... seeing this album cover takes me back. Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be young was very heaven. This album is THE sound of commercial music in the early 2000s, and for that alone deserves a place in this list. The songs for this record were everywhere- the radio, MTV, commercials, movies..... and yet at the same time I remember the critical response being fairly positive. It's a pleasant listen, if a bit long. Its ability to transport me back to the year 2000 is a special trick for which it earns THREE STARS

02/11/2025 Good, solid album. Spotify listeners: 7.8 million

I love this album. I'd say I wore it out when it was first released, if it were possible to do that with digital media. My CD definitely got a lot of plays, is what I'm saying. Although when I hear this again I can't help but remember that Heavyweight episode where Jonathan Goldstein's friend went to confront Moby about stealing his Smithsonian Collection CDs and using them as samples for the songs on this album. Puts a bit of a different spin on it.

kedelig

I once became a vegan because of this album (for a week - my willpower didn't survive a spring break barbecue). I've been listening to it for more than two decades and it feels like I only just realized what Moby is trying to do here, which is call back to and synthesize pre-rock blues ("Honey," "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad") with Seventies ambient music (the Eno-ism is especially poignant on "Inside") with modern sounds in disco and hip-hop music (complete with Gwen Stefani playing the Debbie Harry role on "South Side"). He's not just listening to Eno and Byrne and Pink Floyd and Scott-Heron - he's listening to the stuff they listened to. Which is why what he's made here contains multitudes - among them Wish You Were Here-esque lonesomeness ("Guitar Flute & String"), a "Dancing in the Street" for a new era ("Bodyrock"), and a spiritual call-out that, like all good spiritual call-outs, is really directed at the one doing the calling out ("Run On"). Also: if you were born to White parents between mid-2000 and early 2002, this album may be somewhat responsible for your existence.

Play is a classic and highly influential electronica (house, ambient, techno, club) album that bounces between genres. As evidenced by its worldwide popularity (platinum in 26 countries), Moby tapped into something that resonated with people when it was released. Play is a fun in a nostalgic sense, but it is also an album that I haven’t felt compelled to put on for many years now. The album is too damn long, but there are some good tunes with catchy hooks that famously (infamously?) caught the attention of commercial licensers. This bothers many people, but the commercialization brought attention to Play and likely saved Moby’s music career. My favorite part of this record was Moby’s mixing of samples from different genres and eras. Again, with todays cultural sensibilities, this bothers some people. It is hard to deny that this is a good, if not great album. It was certainly worth at least one more listen before I die.

Biggest electronica of all time South side Natural blues

Ok Dean! Troy & Abed would be proud. Some nice beats!

Enjoyed this way more than expected. Some classics on here

Good album this

While Moby may overuse his gimmick of finding old samples of soulful vocals, I do think this album holds up quite well. I really enjoy the classic hits from the album like Honey and South Side, while also finding joy in some of the softer passages. I thought most of the songs had a good amount of depth to them and liked the layered instrumentation throughout. That said, there were a number of forgettable tracks in the mix as well. I'm not big into the electronic music scene, but it does seem this album continues to have a large influence on this style of music. Also, I somehow didn't realize (or forgot) that South Side is a Moby track! 3.5 -> 4

Excellent just for a lot of the sample choice alone, highlighting some great blues classics.

This was probably my favorite house album we've had so far, still a little too repetitive for me though

I'll be honest, I was not enthused to have another electronica/ambient album after yesterday's. But I guess... I actually like Moby ... and actually enjoyed this. I'm not sure that this is an album that will make its way into my normal rotation. But if I need a background track for something where I don't want the focus to be on the music, I know what I'm picking. 3.5 stars rounding up to 4 stars.

I hadn’t intentionally listened to this album in nearly 25 years, but the moment I hit “PLAY,” I was instantly transported back to 1999. It made me wonder why Moby hasn’t released anything even remotely as significant since. Revisiting it reminded me how much I miss his contributions to pop and electronica. His reimagining of the James Bond Theme remains iconic, but for me, Moby’s most powerful impact came through 'New Dawn Fades' and 'God Moving Over the Face of the Waters'—two tracks Michael Mann used so effectively in his epic crime film 'Heat.' Those pieces are so evocative that the film would feel entirely different without them. What surprised me most, though, was how this album didn’t grate on my nerves like I expected it to after decades of distance. You couldn’t go anywhere in the early 2000s without hearing something from it, and Moby’s ability to sample such a wide range of genres—yet make it all sound distinctly his own—is exactly why this album still feels, at times, like pure genius.

I really enjoy chill electronica and this album is super enjoyable

2025 tells me I should feel uneasy listening to ‘Play’ by Moby, framing it as a work of cultural appropriation. It’s so powerful and potent because it collapses distance between past and present, sacred and commercial, Black and White sound worlds. That tension is both the source of its beauty and the root of its ethical complications. The album is gorgeous, but much of that beauty is borrowed. Moby is hardly the first or last white artist to build music around samples of Black music, but ‘Play’ stands out because its most iconic tracks rely so heavily on the haunting roots and folk vocal samples of Bessie Jones, Boy Blue, and Vera Hall. Those voices, lifted from Alan Lomax’s 1993 box set of collected field recordings ‘Sounds Of The South: A Musical Journey From The Georgia Sea Islands To The Mississippi Delta’, do a huge amount of the emotional heavy lifting, which is why the album sits at the centre of so many debates about appropriation. The story of its slow rise only adds another fascinating layer. ‘Play’ initially flopped, only to become a global phenomenon through relentless licensing: films, TV, ads, everywhere. It became one of those rare albums whose ubiquity built its success rather than diluted it. For all its complexities, one thing is undeniable: at 18 tracks and over an hour long, the record never drags. Its pacing, sequencing, and production remain remarkably tight, a testament to how carefully constructed it is. In the end, at least in my opinion, ‘Play’ while a complicated album, is also a great one. Whatever your feelings about how it was made, it absolutely merits a listen, and it more than deserves its place on this list.

Album amb sons bastant originals i diferents entre si.

I wore this album out back in the day

Not bad but very average like background music nothing crazy

Nice to revisit this after a long while. Still holds up.

Liked it way more than I expected: catchy samples and tight production make it easy listening.

Some great tracks on here for sure,

Gonna be honest I do stan Moby. Intro to this album fuggin iconic. This album captures the zeitgeist of the late 90s. This is the future old man get used it. Music sounds like this now. And tbh I love it. Introduced the genre of repetitive light techno / ambient techno beat in a more mainstream context. With this album he does a stellar job. Also looks fuggin cool in album art. May as well be skateboarding over a shark.

More fun than I anticipated.

3.5 Stars

Es música d'anuncis de cotxe,te 3o 4 hits de publicitat i lo altre es musica relax,bona però això. Li dono un 6 perquè le sentit hasta a la sopa a la Tv i això te merit...Tinc ganes de comprar un cotxe...😂

I like electronic music, but this, to me, seems like an odd pick for this project. If someone set out to make an album with the goal of selling as many tracks as possible to people interested in making car commercials, this is probably what it would sound like. I think there's better electonic music out there and Moby strikes me as a one trick pony.

Honestly pretty good for dance/electronica (not my usual listens) but hard to listen to a whole album of it.

Kind of all over the place for me. Sometimes catchy, sometimes corny and dated, sometimes meh. This album hasn’t aged as well as some of the other electronic/dancy albums on this list. Just barely a 3.

Ha ha, list. I mean, at least this one has some songs that are decent, including some more ambient tracks. And it’s all catchy stuff. A three, how about that?

This was alright. Had some recognizable bits for some reason. Better than the electric beat drop-y club electronica that wears on me. But I know the list will keep trying.

Really good.

Eh

The whole album was fine to me, nothing incredible. Except for Porcelain, that song deserves 5 stars on its own

the more melodic tracks are quite nice and everything else is really bad and unlistenable. so, perfect 3/5

Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad? is the obvious standout. Maybe it would be a stretch to call the remaining album a collection of Blues Loops, but that's what it feels like, and I don't even The Blues(tm). 2.5/5

Amazing album but a hard listen due to circumstances when it came out

i think it's too long for an album but it's great.

It’s good and you can see why people like it. However I do feel it’s a tiny bit for bald guys who wear checkered shirts and play Nintendo 64 games and fix PC’s. Nothing wrong with that genre of man, but I feel I can’t relate

Think I get what he was trying to do, just didn't do it very well...

this gotta be racist somehow

I feel like i keep mentioning Brian Eno, but theres a lot of big nods to him in Moby, especially in songs like porcelain. The album is bissful and lovely to listen to.

Background music

I didn't get this when it came out and I don't get it now. I have no idea why so many people like this.

Self indulgent lobby music. 1/2 star

Very good album. Lots of iconic tracks used in films and pop culture.

Catchy tunes with great layering of various instruments and beats that i’d rock to at a club..

Does not hold up. (Wasn't sure on 2 or 3 stars. I'll say 2.5) This certainly did a lot to bring EDM into the mainstream, but is honestly very lackluster. Today, the songs sound like someone who has finally learned how to use Garage Band. They're decent, but kind of bland. Even in it's day, it falls well behind the quality of other contemporary or even preceding music. There is nothing this does that wasn't already being done better by other artists. At same time, other artists were working in the same or adjacent genres and truly pioneering new ground.

No idea how to review this now. There's the degree of borrowing involved in the making of it (he even borrowed CDs of the Lomax recordings in the first place, and never returned them). There's the fact that most of the album was so oversaturated through adverts and radio play. That it sounds so much of its time. I can't even really hear what I'm listening to. Giving it a neutral 3 and moving on.

was expecting this to sound better. had remembered it as better. but i guess it’s true now like it was in 2002—“it’s over, nobody listens to techno.”

This is very solid but a bit dated. Bodyrock is still a solid jam, the rest is just cool and interesting, but nonetheless listenable and enjoyable.

oltre il fatto che effettivamente questo ha fatto un fatto veramente figo e quindi sembra di sentire una roba che viene dal futuro ma anche dal passato, la prima metà dell’album mi ha fatto godere molto peccato che poi invece le tracce della seconda parte si appiattiscano un po’ e quindi perde la carica fortissima dell’inizio (e solo per questo sarebbe più 3,5 che 4) forse find my baby la mia preferita, capiamo

Molto bello, soprattutto nella prima parte. Questo genere di elettronica fatto di sample mi piace molto, infatti lui, i chemical brothers e fat boy slim sono i miei artisti preferiti in questo campo. Tuttavia la seconda metà è troppo spenta e moscia

Elektronista downbeattia, menee vähän sinne taustamusiikki kategoriaan. Isoin hitti Porcelain tällä levyllä, mutta koko levy ei kummiskaan sen tyylistä. Enimmäkseen aika chilliä. Perus normi ok. Parhaat: Porcelain, Inside, Machete

Meh

You know what? I thought this would be a 5. I've listened to it so much before and the use of the old blues and soul stuff is still great (if exploitative) and burned into the memory. But this might be the first album that familiarity has not helped it (maybe bar Fat Boy Slim). It just wasn't as consistent as I remember. And nothing to do with the fact every song was on an advert. I reckon if 18 is on this list it might be better.

The darker sounding atmospheric ones here were pretty cool, some of those I knew as singles. His sparse piano parts were particularly nice. But whenever he tried to do a more upbeat track it felt like someone doing a really bad impression of fatboy slim. As such as an album it didn't really hold my attention so much. Cut out the naff ones and have a shorter album moby. I'm surprised record labels don't force that to happen more often.

Moby was less terrible than I remember

It’s called electronic music but it’s way more layered the that. Nice listen.

Solid 90’s nostalgia album

I had this record on regular repeat as a teenager, and it still holds up pretty well. Great use of old vocal samples, and even though some of the production sounds a little dated by today's standards, there are some good tracks here. Why Does My Heart Feel so Bad? is my overall favourite track, but the whole thing works great as a complete listen. Not quite five star material for me though.

I honestly don't have a lot to say. It's a solid album but I won't be seeking it out and listen to it probably ever again lol. The runtime is also a tad too long.

A few things: 1. I didn't realize how many tracks of Moby's I knew from other places 2. South Side is WAY better with Gwen Stefani doing backing vocals vs the album version 3. I apparently don't hate Moby Not necessarily what I'd listen to on a regular basis, it is definitely a solid choice for some background music. Very mellow, no bombastic pop songs.

Pretty iconic album when I can recognize the album art but have no idea who the artist is. Clearly I’ve seen this around on some playlists. Definitely some really good tracks on here and some really well written tunes. I’m always happy to hear more diverse tunes from electronic artists that aren’t just 4 to the floor or the same beat repeated over and over again. Each sone here is very unique and adds to the overall experience. I feel like most electronic musicians should use this record as inspiration.

iconic album that i've listened a lot. many tracks that i eagerly sucked up as a teenager. in its entirety as an album, there are some fillers, however.

Kinda pioneering album and certainly one of the first electronic acts to his mainstream. Moby had been around for years and was relatively famous for those in the know, but didn't break out until this. "Porcelain" is a classic jam and so 90's. "Southside" is one of the best tongue-in-cheek "sell out songs" and banger with Gwen Stefani. Sorry Eminem but now everybody listens to techno so let's go...

This was interesting, the songs were catchy but to repetitive

I like it. very good for chillin

finally listened to this one! i think it’s a classic and now i’m not surprised why. the songs are so well mixed and flow into each other, but at the same time every track feels fresh. i feel like it mixes bits of electronic, ambient, trip-hop, even blues and gospel samples, and it all actually works together. plus, there are some huge hits here like porcelain, why does my heart feel so bad? and natural blues! - songs you’ve probably heard even if you never listened to the whole album

Like being locked in a cold room with buzzing factory lights while having a migraine.

A genuine pleasant surprise -- earworms that dig far deeper into your brains than they should

Pretty good although many of the tracks are very repetitive.

Uneven and hard to listen to.

This could’ve been 5 songs instead of 18. They all sound the same. Still pretty cool though.

I like it, but do I like it. I mean you have got to accept repetition or you just can’t listen to this. The samples, the blues singers are great but… Arranging has always been a part of music so I suppose that’s my answer. So guess I can like it. 4 Star.

I got this when it came out and liked the first half, with the second half being a little too slow for my high school brain. But now on read lesson many years later, I find the back half, especially the last song a nice evolution through the album.

Lots of repetition, mixed bag, already knew Porcelain and South Side

A very cool album with some dance style and atmospheric moody type electronica. Great album to play while you are getting stuff done.

I am not a fan at all of sampled music that has repetitive lyrics and just a cool beat behind it. Most all of these songs really hit on my nerves. However, South Side is so good it almost makes me a Moby fan. Almost but not quite

A droll, daft and deft album by the second most hated bald artist of the 1990s.

I only really know Moby from being the butt of many early 2000s jokes, but this really isn't that bad. Some of it is kind of like elevator music, but some of it is good.

A strong 3, a weak 4. The songs with the soul samples will live on as classics. The other tracks on this album feel of their time.

Great electronica album that defined an era. Can drag on a bit, but some real heaters on it.

I remember listening to this a lot when it came out. Always enjoyed it, but on a revisit maybe it was a little slower than I remembered. Not bad, great background.

I don't know why but I scoffed when this album came up and it turned out to be a heavy dose of welcome nostalgia. There were more bangers on this album than I remembered.

sin mas

7/10

Jeg synes det var sjovt at lytte til! Der er rigtig mange fede ting, og sjov brug af gamle blues samples, og sætte ind i en mere moderne dance/elektronisk univers. De fedeste elementer var dog for mig de sange der føltes mere som originale kompositioner end kreativ sampling, som på "porcelain" (klassiker) og "Guitar Flute & String". "Bodyrock" står også ud som et highlight på pladen for mig, og jeg vil nok helt klart vende tilbage til albummet, men mest for at finde bangers frem igen, fremfor som helhedsoplevelse Men det her er helt klart en af de oplevelser jeg havde ledt efter med denne her hjemmeside/udfordring/oplevelse, og jeg er mellem 4 og 5, men ikke helt oppe og ringe

A musician who isn’t really a musician, but wants to be a musician. No feeling, no depth. No real emotion. Sort of like a hipster trying to dress a certain way to fit in. Good at what he does, but he knows he’s a fake and he wonders how he got his as popular as he did. This isn’t music, kids.

This really sucks. It is an example of the power of MTV at its zenith in the late 90s early 00s that Moby could have such success with this lazy and predictable dance music album.

I was surprised on how good this album is.

Oh, this album goes in the ADHD Get Shit Done bucket, not the Active Listening bucket. Time to clean the kitchen, motherfuckers! wait, what in the ridiculous car commercial hell is this? Okay. It's well made, but I have no place for it in my library. It doesn't really work as a focus aid, and I didn't enjoy the hour I sunk into it. (At one point I wandered off to feed the cats and Moby got drowned out by a chorus of meows... an improvement.) For a well made album I'll never listen to again? Three stars.

Ikke rigtigt min stil men behageligt nok. Jeg kan ikke lide Mobys brysthår ☹️

Fedt nok at høre noget chill elektronisk der ikke er britisk! Klassiker, men det er ikke lige min stil

There were some good songs in the beginning that are super TV ad-friendly.... But it's way too long and gets boring quite quick

very good, 10/10, one of the best albums so far

Elektronisch, enthält aber auch ein paar ganz schöne Gitarrensoli

Electonic and repetative but a vibe.

Some fun classic tunes here. Was never a big fan of his aesthetics. Annoyed I can’t easily find the actual original album on iTunes (they just have the “complete” version that’s 2 hours long?!) so struggling through Spotify ads.

rad

Ultra repetitif, super pour en entendre quelques extraits mais en tant qu'album pas vraiment. J'aurais essayé, Moby ça ne passe pas.

Um album que me trouxe novamente a lembrança do sintentizadores. Musica eletronica, mas estranhamente calma. O album começou mais frenetico e foi acalmando. Ao chegar no ultima faixa, principalmente, nas ultimas cinco ou seis, me fez sentir complativo, como se tivesse na beira da praia escutando as ondas.

I just can't get into him...

Sampling got a bit repetitive but has some absolute bangers.

produção primorosa que se encontra em harmonia com os samples de blues, porém após "Machete", ápice do álbum, tudo torna-se vazio e sem propósito. entretanto, as faixas em que Moby vocaliza trazem um refresco de identidade para a obra. é bom, mas se fosse um EP faria mais sentido. 3/5

I have a lot to say about this one, but I can't be bothered right now. It's pretty good.

A Moby classic! Very good, imo. I could listen to it any day. Not my preferred genre, but what genre really is this? A bunch of bangers and extremely recognizable sampling. Overall, very VERY solid. Not much to say.

It was pleasant but ai wasn’t blown away

Haters gonna hate. This is a great album and a backdrop to the early 2Ks.

Gostei. Acho que não conhecia nenhuma das músicas. Tem umas qie parece Legião (na verdade Legião que parece eles). Tiago: não é o melhor do The Cure, mas valeu a experiência.

Surprisingly less obnoxious than I thought it was going to be. I liked some songs. Only real complaint is the length. Maybe save some of the songs to add in as filler on a later album when you need more songs. Just too much all at once if you are not specifically trying to tell a story through the music.

It's cool, but it all reminds of credits music from mid 2000s movies. All the songs are well done and upbeat and catchy. Well layered, well mixed. I'd just rather listen to the real thing, aka the songs that were sampled to make all this music. This doesn't feel like it has any of the soul or feeling that the original songs possessed in their creation. It's great background music. Like in a commercial or walking around a mall. I like being at work listening to it because I don't really need to be paying attention to it at all to get the enjoyment out of it.

Pretty good. Loads of memorable songs. The whole album is very cohesive in style. I probably wouldn't seek it out.

Everything interesting about this album might have been destroyed by commercials and overplay. Still not half bad, but very hard to feel excited about.

Pretty good. Nice nostalgia tracks. Nothing amazing, though.

𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘺 is an iconic late-’90s electronic album, but for me it lands more in the “decent” category than truly great. The mix of downtempo beats, gospel samples, and ambient textures is pleasant enough, yet it often feels more like background music than something I’d actively return to. Its cultural saturation — everywhere in ads, films, and TV at the time — gave tracks like 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘋𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘔𝘺 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘚𝘰 𝘉𝘢𝘥? a life of their own, but that ubiquity can make the album feel more like a product of its era than a timeless classic.

One of the best!

Solid album, but the techno samples were annoyingly repetitive.

I liked this more than I expected. Too long though, 6/10.

Pitchfork said “ In short, it's fun and functional, yet disposable: Play is the condom of rock.”At least it’s not a used condom, but it’s safe!

I really kind of wanted to hate and dismiss this, since I knew it wasn't going to be as good as at least three or four Warren Zevon albums that inexplicably did NOT make this list of 1001. In the end, though, I have to give it grudging respect. WAY too long, but generally entertaining, especially when listened to with the videos.

I guess I didn’t really know the genre of music that was mint and only heard the name from HIMYM… I think it’s good background music but that’s the only time I would listen.

Hey, it's Play, my favorite Moby album. I do legitimately like this album, but I've never been the world's biggest Moby guy. I'm not even very well versed in the electronic music landscape, but I know there are way more interesting artists in it than Moby. Sorry Moby. Honey rules though.

Nearly every contemporary of Moby’s gets more play from me, both because their music is better and because Moby himself rubs me the wrong way.

Maybe 6.5/10. This was pretty interesting. All of the songs were layers on top of an original loop it introduces at the beginning (probably hence the name of the album). Sadly it felt less like an expansion of the original loop and much more like an overly-repetitive chorus.

Moby is clearly an influential EDM artist. I am not a huge EDM guy but Porcelain is an outright classic. Album takes a bit to get going but then it goes from banger to banger after Porcelain. Also enjoyed "why does my heart feels so bad?", "south side" "body rock" "natural blues" "Run on" is another classic. Loses momentum again towards the end. But overall really cool album!

I have a "post review right after listening" rule, so it took me 10 times through to decide whether I still like this or not. I don't think I do. I still really respect what he did here by incorporating samples of old blues tracks into modern electronic stuff, but it doesn't hit.

A nice album but probably more 'Background music' vibes for me. I'd definitely listen to it again, and I think I'd heard a few of the songs before 'Porcelain' and one other one, that I now can't remember.

Gear: Sennheiser MOMENTUM TW 4 Artwork: 🕴️📷🟩 Production: 🎧😘🤌 Music: 😌☕🍫 Ratinng: 🎳🎳🎳(🎳)/5

i can count on one hand how many of these songs i will revisit as background music to study or drive to

Bem vibe anos 2000 (apesar de ser de 1999😳). Lembra muito séries norte americanas como “Suits”. Gostei de ouvir para estudar

Ahead of its times, slow and fast, many tracks brought me back. Will listen again!

It's just the same line over and over. South Side was kinda nice though, as were the samples in Bodyrock and Natural Blues. Still, hard pass. Best song: South Side

Pre-listening notes: Shit. More techno/dance/edm nonsense. Listening notes: For Christmas one year, my sister gave me a bar of soap that she had made for me. I was pretty impressed, as she's never made soap, at least to my knowledge. So, I asked, "wow, you made this? how?" She explained the process: she had somehow melted down her favorite soaps and combined them into one ultimate soap, reformed it into a bar state, gift wrapped it, and handed it to me on Christmas. "So, by 'making soap', you actually mean that you basically took other soaps and mashed them together to form a new bar of soap?", I asked. "Yes," she said, and we had a good laugh over how she didn't actually make anything; she just combined a bunch of pre-existing soaps into a different format of soap. That is exactly how I feel about Moby. The difference is, I enjoyed that bar of soap. Moby's restructuring and reformatting of pre-existing music by other people is just tedious to listen to...but more than that, I cannot believe that a man as pretentious as Moby can look in the mirror and take himself seriously as an artist. He's just a re-soapmaker, but without the sense of humor. 1.4/5

Love it

A 90s classic.

boring

There are parts of this that I like very much. They are the parts that Moby samples and fucks with the least.

Some fun songs on here like “Find My Baby” but not something I’d go back to.

Some of this is pretty good. 3.5

Ik heb het hier elke keer als er Zuid-Amerikaanse muziek voorbij komt over 3 op Reis en zeg je 3 op Reis dan zeg je Moby - Natural Blues. Dit is een ontzettend lekker album om aan te zetten en te vergeten. 'Porcelain', 'Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad', 'Bodyrock', 'Natural Blues' zijn stuk voor stuk dijken van nummers wat mij betreft. En dan blijken er toch nog meer nummers op te staan die ergens, Joost mag weten hoe of waarom, een belletje doen rinkelen. Het heeft iets ongrijpbaars qua geluid wat voor mij typisch Moby is. Ik ken geen succesvolle artiesten met zo'n soort geluid. Het is niet jankerig, het is niet geforceerd diepzinnig, het is gewoon aangenaam. En naast de bekende liedjes die goed matchen bij droneshots van tropische eilandjes en uitgestrekte regenwouden laat Moby op dit album ook nog even horen dat hij ook gewoon vieze bunkertechno kan maken. Ik ken verder denk ik echt helemaal niks van Moby z'n werk, maar dit album is wat mij betreft zeker een klassieker. Ik durf wel te stellen dat Moby m'n favoriete kale veganist is. Ik geef hier graag de volle mep voor.

Electronica for middle aged middle class White people, but some super catchy tunes in the first half of the album. Gets a bit generic ambient towards the end.

It was great to hear Michael Franti in his element & not just as a guest featuring role. Quintessential socially-conscious hip-hop.

Are all of the songs just repeating the same 4-8 lines…..? Yes. Yes they are. Also why is this album so LONG..?? It gets 3 stars because 2 felt too low but genuinely what is this

Defined a new era of accessable electronica

Enjoyable. Surprisingly the lesser known songs in the second half of the album were the ones I enjoyed the most.

When I was a kid I liked some track from the album and these that I liked are good but honestly not sure how I feel about now listening to it again. I think I have a lot of mixed feelings. Like I see that there's same approach to each composition has some old gospel or old song and it builds around it a new track which isn't bad house music is basically made this way but I feel the sameness here a little too much for my taste. Tracks that I liked: Honey, Porcelain, Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?, Machete 3/5

Loved it from start to finish. 4.5/5 rounded up to 5/5

Great album

Some of the most mid music ive ever heard. Half of it sounds like music from a flop 90s action movie, the other half just sounds like the background music for car commercials. Not everyone can do electronic, its not as simple as repeating the same phrase over and over 😭😭😭😭

grating.

that was something

We had a special needs section of our junior school and we named those kids "Moby's". It was in the 80's and we were all far more cruel than now, but that's what I think about now.

I have always been interested in listening to Moby after the "not Moby" episode of how I met your mother The songs were chill, vibe was OK, nothing groundbreaking

There's some serious tracks on this one. I'd call it "ambient" music. Just leave it on in the background while you work

this is such a tricky album to rate.. it’s an absolute rollercoaster of “this slaps” and “i can’t take this”. i wanted to rage rate it but i’ll give it a 3… songs i’ve enjoyed: honey porcelain why does my heart feel so bad (really love this one) rushing bodyrock everloving inside my weakness natural blues is obviously amazing too. still a 3 star album for me.. too many songs, too long and too repetitive in ways that have annoyed me so much at times. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Meh. Some classics, but not really my cup of tea.

Pretty cool album. Very long though. Has some bangers on here: Flower (bring sally up), Why does my heart feel so bad, Porcelain

I was surprised that I knew the first song. But then I became progressively uninterested in the songs that followed.

I got this the same day Ed Sheeran released a new album called Play. I've not listened to that yet nor do I want to, but if it is anywhere near as good as this I will eat my... whatever it is bald, vegans eat, tofu I guess.

Almost every track is a half a minute of music in a song that lasts four minutes. Then the same, without a beat, with a beat, with a beat and some synth strings, without a beat but with strings etc. No real progression. There's a reason it all worked in adverts - those snippets are pretty good. An hour of it is way too much. It's ok if you don't want to listen to music, just to cover the silence and thoughts in your head. I guess that's why it sold so many copies. South side is good though, but then Machete comes along and is like a weak Prodigy copy.

Patiko, raminantis pasiklausymas.

Listens: 1.5 Standout Tracks: Natural Blues, Inside My thoughts are all over the place on this album: First, it's over 2 hours long, at least the version on YouTube Music, and there is no non-deluxe-whatever version available consisting of the original some ~18-20 songs. So there's that whole struggle of listening to this Moby for 2+ hours. Second, turn-of-the-century electronica is a weird hodgepodge of sounds and genres, and this album has many of them: techno, breakbeat, house, trance, downtempo, ambience, just to name a few. Some style work better. The tracks where it's not just a breakbeat loop - where there's actually some "meat on the bone"; a clear path from beginning to middle to end of song, some lyrics, interesting instrumentation (digital or otherwise), etc. - aren't actually too bad. I quite liked a few of the tracks on this album. There is enough variance across the tracks that you're not stuck with just break beat or just techno or just ... If you hit shuffle on the album you're going to get a lot of variety. That's good in my book. Maybe not entirely cohesive or flowing, but it beats 2 hours of a singe genre. I thought this was better than Fatboy Slim's You've Come A Long Way Baby (1998), which is also on the List, and different from, but as good as The Prodigy's Fat Of The Land (1997), again, on the List.

Never actually listened to the entire album before this. It was good.

Debated this one, but enough variety/significance to push through. 4.

pretty good album. moby at it's best

Moby is interesting, slightly ethereal electronic. The beginning songs very good others not memorable

me gusto mucho. I liked to listen to it complete though.

good. just really long

Cool album with a lot of cool sounds. I tried to listen with fresh ears and I heard a lot to really like. Don't feel I can grade higher though as it did slightly drag for me - each time I listened I found myself checking how long left.

It was alright, nothing crazy for me. A few good tracks, but a bit overly long for me. So nothing great but not awful either. I think 3 since it’s listenable.

skroz neloše, iako nije moj đir

A little too cute for its own good. I tried getting into this when it was first released and always immediately forgot what it sounded like. Not awful but lacking substance.

Not a half bad electronic album. Not super annoying or repetitive in ways that electronic music tends to be. 3/5

Not listened to this in years. I was big into Moby at the time and purchased the album before it exploded and became the soundtrack to everything. Unfortunately overexposure is to the detriment of the songs as it diminishes their emotional impact as you just think of the shit its been used to flog or crap tv moments soundtracked. Shame.

When Moby got trendy. Decent, but prefer the raw trance /ambient stuff of his earlier days. (Nothing beats Go).

Couple good songs, overall fairly boring.

It’s wasted on me. But it’s got some neat-o history.

Moby's music is way too mid for the ego he has

This is REALLY on the line for me but I think I'm going to give this a 4. It's very minimal to be sure, but I think I enjoy it quite a bit as background music? It's close to being too long for me, but some of the tracks towards the end help keep it alive for me (Machete and Inside being my favorite).

And the streak of 4s and 5s ends... This was a cool sound for a bit, but it went on for WAAYYYY too long to really hold my attention, unfortunately. Solid 6/10.

After the first two songs, my thought was that this was basically fatboy slim but significantly worse. Thankfully it got a little better after that, with a lot of variety (maybe too much variety?) Porcelain was great but none of the rest of the album sounded close to it. I probably need a second listen but I didn’t really like it enough to warrant one honestly. But I really liked some parts of it a lot??? But I had to skip a lot of it after some songs droned on annoyingly and repeatingly for too long.

Weird album. Half of these tracks are just sample loops that don't really go anywhere. I actually recognized two on here from later reworks (Porcelain sampled in A$AP Rocky's 'A$AP Forever', and 'South Side' covered by The Knocks & Foster The People). That made me realize Moby does know how to build a solid foundation, and his production really shines once fully fleshed out by these other artists. In the context of this album though, these songs mostly feel like unfinished ideas that I don't want to revisit. I suppose it makes sense that it gained popularity as music for commercials, where it's not the sole listening focus.

Very confused. This is like multiple albums all confusedly trying to make a unit but the parts don't fit. Nothing is really bad, but he only has two tricks - blues with a looped beat over it, or ethereal piano tinkling. That's a lot to stick with on 18 tracks.

Moby’s a good producer but this album is middling at best. Most of the tracks are repetitive with the most interesting parts being the African American hymnal samples. Also, the optics of a white dude profiting from sampled Black music aren’t great. Earlier Moby is much better.

Least fav album so far

iznenadilo me koliko mi se ovo svidjelo

When I first listened to it, I was not impressed with the first two songs. Then, I listened to "Why Does My Heart Feel so Bad?" I liked it. Following the other songs, I listened to them and found it wasn't so bad. In my view, I feel that Moby's songs could have had more power if they had some lyrics, a bridge...My take is that I am only listening to the chorus of a song. That's what I don't like. It has a lot of potential, but it has a long way to go. Still a great record, nevertheless.

This is not a perfect album - it’s very long, and some of the tracks are not great. Some tracks have been used to death (Porcelain I’m talking about you!) But when it’s good it’s really good. The blues influence in it speaks to me, and his new takes on old spirituals elevates the source material. I’ve always been a fan, and each listen gives me something new, so yeah, it’s not perfect but I kind of like it.

It was so dull, and he really REALLY cant sing the blues.

This is an album full of songs you have heard bits of somewhere before. Video games, adverts, etc. Thing is, you really don't need to hear any of them in full; nothing else is added. I don't mind it though. It's quite reminiscent of a time. Bodyrock y'all. Game of Fifa 99 anyone?

Great album! Reminded me of my youth. I remember this being one of those first cds my friends had growing up. Glad I could listen to this again. Will play it again down the road.

I have a much deeper appreciation for music this sample heavy than I did when I first listened. My bad Moby

Un de mes classiques

Starts out kinda slow but finds it's niche and is pretty ambitious

too much

As someone who publicly admitted to liking Moby way back in the '90's, I'm highly entertained by the global reviews of this album. The most representative is a 4* review that simply reads, "Do . . . Do I like Moby?" For reasons I don't understand, most folks want to crush the guy for his use of samples. The thing is, even if you don't like the use of samples, it is highly prolific, and Moby not only arguably does it best, he was absolutely the first to do it really well. All the hits, big on influence, and I really like it. This has got to be the closest to a 5* without actually being a 5*.

Um músico sensível em meio à frieza do cenário da música eletrônica. Sua capacidade de construir belas linhas melódicas, especialmente usando o piano, impressiona. Pesa contra, a inconsistência, ou talvez até discrepância, entre os temas e climas do disco, que levam a perda de unidade. Outro ponto é que sua música soa como feita para propósitos diferentes de se "ouvir música". Parecem orientadas para temas de filmes e até peças publicitárias, mas mantém uma beleza ímpar.

ok...i was ROCKING with this! so long tho... 2 hour 36 minutes wow

I really liked this album. It sounded very polished and thoughtful. Good grooves, good songs. I had only heard South Side, which I thought was ok, and after listening to the entire album I think that was one of the weakest songs on the album. Nice find.

I hadn't really listened to any of this artist's work. I enjoyed this album, I could even see myself buying. it.

Really enjoyed. Maybe I’m too easily pleased.

Every production choice on this is wack

Tired. It's impossible to review many of these albums without the historical moment that they were part of. And if you were of an appropriate demographic and in a place that had a culture significantly interconnected with globalisation, when this album came out, it was near inescapable… and certainly carries personal connotations as a result.

A few tracks I liked but overall no

Started hot and mellowed out. Just like every white bitch I’ve dated.

An inescapable album in the ‘99 and early 2000s, it produced no less than 8 singles many of which ended up on adverts. I was briefly taken in but I ultimately found this a little lacking and still do. Along with Fatboy Slim the mix of soulful ambience and vocal hook wore thin quickly and I haven’t gone back to this in well over 2 decades. The first half in particular is decent but overall it’s too long and interest falls away over the back half. I can hear its influence though in some of the music that I love like **Bicep** and **Odesza**, both of whom have produced albums recently whose roots can be traced back to this but I find them more interesting and with greater depth.

Enjoyed Moby in the early 2000’s. Liked about half the songs. I got the 2 hour album

Not quite my thing

This came out right before I moved to Chicago, and god did the scene kids their love it. Because of the nature of electronica, I think the way they licensed every track on this album for movies/shows/commercials was a smart, and no doubt lucrative movie that made sure EVERYONE knew who Moby was, or at least, had heard his music. It's a good album that once started, you just lose yourself in.

The brightest spots on this album are the ones where Moby layers samples of folk singers over electronica, setting the their vocals against new chords and arrangements. The tracks where *Moby* is singing are far less successful (especially the ones where he does some spoken word shtick). What's left is a grab bag of EDM, hip hop and downtempo tracks of varying quality.

Loved every song

So long, good ambient stuff in the later half, but kinda feel like I stopped paying attention

Meh

Very repetitive

It’s fine not that interesting

Didn’t jam with this one ngl

meh

Some truly great tracks in the first 15mins … but quickly peters out.

I didn’t realise how big a fan of Moby my dad must be because I knew more of these songs than I was expecting. Secondly another Music GCSE set piece flashback moment with Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad

Very well diversified. I like how the album changed pace at the end and took on a slower tempo with some neat instrumentals. Good workflow jam

Super fun to listen to, shift from vocal to instrumental-focused tracks was a really nice contrast and showed Mobys true versatility as a producer. This is super ahead of its time.

Here's some words that pop into my head as I listen to this: repetitive, formulaic, predictable, soulless, artificial, unexciting. I have heard some electronic albums I can respect, but this probably isn't one of them

De los primeros que escuche de electronica

This album isn’t bad by any means, but to me it just didn’t sound like anything remarkable. It has its moments, but they’re far and few. I felt like I listened through it without having any strong feelings about any of it. It kind of just passed through.

The thing that bugged me about dance/electronic music from the '90s was that many songs were one verse of singing taken from another song that was played over & over throughout the "new" song. I can’t even understand the sample in most cases & the song gets annoying or boring. Moby was 2 for 2 in annoying me from the start of the album, then we get Porcelain, which was pretty good. As I continued to listen, it hit me, this is montage music for shows like House, or Bones, or other one-name TV shows, maybe Suits, yeah, Suits would work too. I couldn’t sit around & enjoy this music, but, good on you if you can. Oh crap! South Side, a song I’ve heard. It’s also a song that sounds like a real song, with Mody singing. I can get into this, but most of the songs seem to be made by AI for AI. As I moved further through the album, a lot of it sounded like it was made with GarageBand and used as royalty-free music for podcasts. I’m an old guy who is set in my ways. This stuff isn’t for me; I won’t be giving this a second listening.

Moby Dick???

Rules

Listening to this was like watching classic heist / action movies from the early 2000’s

Muy sólido

Ca s'endort un peu sur la fin mais sinon quel classique quand même

Enjoyed it 3/5

vsf porra

mais um pra lista de trilha sonora pra filmes de hacker dos anos 90 o problema eh que eu nao gosto de filmes de hacker. nem do moby.

A pretty good album, I liked Find My Baby and South Side.

Couple bangers, rest is solid but not standout

I didn't realise a lot of these tracks were by Moby. This music is good for listening to while working. Would I play it to listen to intentionally? Probably not.

goeie nummers, maar niet om na elkaar te spelen

A few good tracks that I will listen to in the future but a lot of dull tracks as well.

I listened to this album a lot when it came out. The mixing of blues samples and electronic music worked perfectly for me. I haven’t heard the record in many years, and I was concerned I’d not enjoy it anymore. Thankfully that wasn’t the case, and I totally dug it just as I had back in 1999/2000. I forgot how many songs I really loved on this album (which makes sense given how often I played it back then). It’s a 4.5 that I’m boosting to a 5.

Its moby

Not interesting enough loops to hold attention. Stupid lyrics (especially when Moby isn't sampling old timey record) make it hard to tune out and just relax to. I was around when this came out -- was on the radio constantly. Bored me then, bores me now. Please, if you're looking for electronica from this era with a groove, give me Nightmares on Wax or DJ Shadow every day and twice on Sunday before this dreck.

Reminds me a bit of Odesza

This is a 3.5 for me, mostly because I loved it back in the day. Reactions now? Still has some songs I really enjoyed (great opening track, for instance), but the album is too long.

I have been trying to find south side for months but couldn’t remember anny lyrics. and it was such a relief to listen to this album and hear it!!!

Enjoyable, certainly, but not amazing. I knew a good lot of the tracks from when it was in the charts, but I preferred "In My Weakness", which was completely new to me.

Very interesting album, there were a lot of songs on here that surprised me in the sense that I knew them. Definitely a classic will be going back.

Better electronics than most. I can listen to this

Its actually great

And Moby? You can get stomped by Obie You fisty-nine-year-old bald-headed fag, blow me You don't know me, you're too old, let go It's over, nobody listens to techno so I guess this album is pretty nice, although it gets boring at the last tracks

Под настроение

This kind of music will never do it for me. Beats for the sake of dancing without much substance.

Great album. One of the best of the era.

A box of chocolates in terms of music variety. Some classic beats
