Soot and Stars
I AM SOOT!
Moby
Here's an artist who broke me into a variety of sounds that neither I or a lot of people had gotten into before. I think anytime an artist breaks down walls for music they are awesome. I never would have heard the beauty of ambient or electronica pieces if it weren't for Moby. I tend to follow what he does with mixed results but regardless I'm a fan. His music a lot of times is like his personality, quiet and subtle but has a lot to say. Other times it's bursting with soul and sometimes it just rocks! At his best, Moby's music is just gorgeous and breathtaking! I think those with an ear for classical could enjoy some of these! Here are my Moby faves!
God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters
(my favorite piece, gorgeous)
Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad
(a great use of soul samples, just moves you)
Find My Baby
(see above)
Guitar Flute and String
(so soothing)
Novio
Now as a Moby fan (if any of them visit CRF ) you'll noticed that I left off tracks from newer albums like Hotel and Last Night but that's more about the type of albums they are. I like them as a whole like the others but even more as a unit because those are made to be cohesive as each one has a theme. I also like Moby better as a manipulator of sounds rather than when he contributes vocals. Moby as a vocalist is definitely adequate but it's not his strong point IMO. Anyway, any Moby thoughts?
