i'm listening to Moby's 18 B Sides+DVD for the first time. first i was struck by the beautiful voice of Azure Ray on "Landing". i know i've heard the voice before, though, and it's not on an azure ray album (btw, azure ray is a band, not one girl, right? and both are not on this song, are they?).
second, isn't "Love of Strings" just the instrumental version of "Sunday (the Day Before my Birthday)"??
okay. this is where is mention that i do in fact like this album. but only moby fans will be able to enjoy it; others will say it's another watered down moby album (you can definitely hear a lot of his earlier songs in here, even "Go" gets a nice facelift). why? because this is a demo-type album; it's like we asked what he was up to and he just threw in what he was working on right now, the almost-completed songs he had on his computer.
i think that's why he also loaded up the dvd with enough shit to choke a small country.
btw, there are a lot of 100% original songs on there, but i just wanted to let you know about what hits you in the face first :)
if you're a fan, you'll definitely enjoy this, though.
