Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Throughout his ponderous career, Richard M. Hall (a.k.a. Moby) has mutated from skinny techno antistar to vegan Christian crusader to guitar-wielding punk and back again, picking up new fans (and new detractors) along the way. Although his brand of pop music has fallen out of favor with the techno cognoscenti, you can't ignore Moby's role in bringing the European variation on techno to American shores, transforming it from the mainstay of hip clubbers into the soundtrack of suburban teenagers. And for what it was, the music wasn't bad either. This eponymous album, released way back in 1992, collects the better musical moments from his early days on the Instinct label, including memorable tracks such as the frenetic "Drop a Beat" and the serene, Twin Peaks-sampling "Go." For neophyte techno listeners seeking some historical perspective or aging ravers looking to relive their salad days, this album is a must-have. --Matthew Corwine

4.0 out of 5 stars Moby's debut is different, but in a good way
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2000

First things first: DO NOT expect the type of sampled electronica you've heard on Moby's more recent albums. This is pure, raw techno, baby. I knew of this album when it was pretty much new. My sister had it years ago and would listen to Help Me To Believe on full blast for an hour at a time. Upon hearing the rest of the album, I grew to love Moby and the whole techno thing.

Unlike most other techno albums these days, including Moby's newer work, which are mostly mixing and remixing of samples into completely new songs, this entire album (aside from a few vocal samples) is done on synthesizers. Repetivive? Kinda. Different? Definitely. Bad? Depends on what you're looking for, but this album is definitely an excellent history lesson in what techno started as.

Particular favorites on this album are Drop A Beat, Yeah, and Stream. The latter being very relaxing with its jungle beat and slow tempo. For anyone looking for a fresh Moby experience, this album may disappoint, but for pure techno connoisseurs, it's a nostalgic trip to the days when techno was for dance and synthesizers were the hottest thing. A very good album indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Techno Album
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2001

Although he had been putting stuff out since 1989, this album can really be considered his first album. Unlike Play and even I Like to Score and Everything Is Wrong, this album is 100% pure techno. So, don't be expecting another Play with this one; however, this is IMHO, classic techno. It has great slammin' tracks like Drop a Beat, Electricity, Next Is the E, Have You Seen my Baby, Ah Ah, and of course, Go, which is easily Moby's most famous early song. The rest of tracks are good as well as Moby does a great job in making this album flow from one track to the next. If you love techno and/or Moby, then this album is a mandatory selection for your collection.

Before I start, you need to be better familiar with Moby's rather complex discography. From 1989 thru 1992, he did lots of experimental work under lots of different names, but they were all small experimental albums and singles released in small numbers. In 1992, his 'then' record label started a series of compilations using the best songs songs from his early work, the 1st of those compilations being this album. The other 2 were 'Early Underground' and 'Ambient'. Although technically compilations, these albums are usually considered his first 3 official albums, because they were rereleased in wide release, unlike his earlier records, and they were more organized and all released under the name 'Moby'. As for this record, it's amaizing, it's wonderful, it's explosive, it's powerful, it's fun, it's rave! Buy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's Moby's Birth!

I used to work at this radio station in Santa Clara, California. It was just a college station, don't get all excited or anything. Anyways, I remember the day when the single "GO" showed up in my mailbox. This is a true story. I must have played that disk so much that people started tuning out. When I left the station, I left the CD (after all, stealing is wrong), but I always had that one song in my mind as the pinacle of Moby music. I saw the whole CD for sale on Amazon, and got it. I have to say, I'm pretty dissapointed. It's good, sure, but it's kind of awkward in parts (clearly, MOBY is just getting into the style) and lots of the songs are too fast for their own interests. However, now I have "Go," and that makes it all worthwhile. (two slices of toast)

quasi un capolavoro considerando gli anni in cui MOBY ha partorito questi brani. va dal rock all'ambient, misto a pura elettronica e campionatori. se piace Moby, e avete già altri suoi dischi + orecchiabili, forse siete pronti anche per questo.
