Awesome / Moby

Awesome Moments:

• The incredible comeback of Play, and how he went from being the laughing stock of his genre to the highest seller.
• Holds a Guinness World Record for Fastest Recorded Song (as in, highest BPM) with "Thousand". Guess how fast it gets at its peak.
  "OOH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.."
• To this day, Moby occasionally performs in a shirt that says "Nobody Listens To Techno," after Eminem's diss on "Without Me". Speaking of which, the way Moby consistently kept a good sense of humor and dignity during their "beef" was kind of awesome in itself.

Awesome Music:

• From the first album "Moby" is "Go".
  • There's also "Drop A Beat" and "Next Is The E".
• If you enjoy ambient music a lot, his second album, aptly titled "Ambient", is just for you.
• Other rave tracks by him can fall under here such as "Mobility", "Drug Fits The Face", "Thousand", "Move" and "Permanent Green".
• From the third album "Everything Is Wrong" is "Hymn"
  • There's also "Feeling So Real", "Everytime You Touch Me", and "Into The Blue".
  • Special mention to "First Cool Hive" and "Bring Back My Happiness".
• Say what you want about the fourth album "Animal Rights", but you have to agree his take on the James Bond theme was amazing.
  • There's also "That's When I Reach For My Revolver".
  • "Come On Baby" is also kinda nice.
• Onward to the fifth album "Play". Just listen to "Machete". Nuff said.
  • "Rushing" and "Porcelain", too.
  • "Honey" is certainty both catchy and cool.
  • Then there's tracks like "Find My Baby", "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?", "Natural Blues", "Run On", and "If Things Were Perfect".
  • If you want some badass music from him, check out "Bodyrock". You're welcome.
  • Also "The Sky Is Broken" and "My Weakness".
  • And if you want some from "Play: B-Sides", we have "Flower", "Memory Gospel", "Sunday", and "Running".
• "We Are All Made of Stars", off of the sixth album 18. Especially the chorus.
  • What about "Extreme Ways"?
  • There's also "In This World", "In My Heart", and "Sunday (The Day Before My Birthday)".
  • "Jam For The Ladies".
  • "One Of These Mornings", "Another Woman", "I'm Not Worried At All". There's enough here to make it a nice sequel to "Play".
  • Not that "Extreme Ways" isn't a great song on its own. But then he rerecorded it for The Bourne Ultimatum.
  • And then came Jason Bourne's rerecording, which somehow manages to take the best aspects of every version of the song, combine them all, then breathe some fresh life into it with a sick electric guitar riff.
• Opinions on the seventh album Hotel, Moby's flirtation with mainstream rock and pop, are divided, but if you get the double-disc version, disc two, titled Hotel: Ambient is devoted to a smooth collection of his dabblings in ambient techno. It's breathtaking.
  • If you want actual songs off of "Hotel", you have things like "Raining Again", "Dream About Me", and "Spiders".
• Album eight, "Last Night", has "Disco Lies".
  • Same can be said or "Alice" and "I Love To Move In Here".
• Album nine, "Wait For Me". First of all, "Shot In The Back Of The Head" and its David Lynch directed video.
  • "Mistake" is this in a gloomy way.
  • Little Idiot making a comeback, though as an alien.
• "The Perfect Life", off of "Innocents".
