Album Notes
Personnel: Moby (vocals, various instruments, samples); Pilar Basso, Reggie Matthews, The Shining Light Gospel Choir (vocals).Includes liner notes by Moby.PLAY was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. "Bodyrock" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance."Natural Blues" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.A marked departure from the sound of his groundbreaking EVERYTHING IS WRONG and his subsequent hard-edged output, PLAY finds Moby charting new territory. Abandoning the breakneck drive of techno punk for looser, groovier structures entrenched in dance-oriented hip-hop brings a whole new feeling to Moby's vast and varied sonic canvas. Several songs, including the hit single "Honey," are distinguished by the appearance of early American field recordings, looped bits of African American spirituals and folk songs culled from the Alan Lomax catalogue. Moby's penchant for complex composition is in evidence here, as layer after layer of keyboard ornamentation, percussive effects, guitar, vocals (Moby sings and also plays all the instruments), and pulsing, echoing beats create a rich, deeply textured tapestry. PLAY shows that Moby's sophisticated sense of sound collage hasn't dulled, and the combination of these wide-ranging sonic experiments with unique historical samples and rootsier, more accessible beats indicates his ever-changing vision as an artist.

Editorial Reviews
4 out of 5 - ...embraces both hip-hop syncopations and...early-twentieth-century African American folk music to create time-traveling beatbox rhythms....Moby sing-speaks, plays innumerable instruments and crafts complex soulful harmonies...
Rolling Stone Magazine (06/24/1999)

Ranked #20 in Spin Magazine's 90 Greatest Albums of the '90s.
Spin (09/01/1999)

9 (out of 10) - ...To hear an electronic dance album looking backward as intently as it dreams forward is a real-time jolt, and Moby rides the groove with a buzz reminiscent of his early, techno anthems....It's as real an image as rave,or alternative, culture has ever imagined.
Spin (07/01/1999)

4 Stars (out of 5) - ...Moby's visceral use of early blues samples is at the heart of PLAY, creating achingly emotional pieces...before the choirs, liquid piano runs and swirling analogue synthesizers kick in...
Q (06/01/1999)

...PLAY encompasses hip-hop beats, funky grooves, samples of old blues hollering, big house emotionalism and slow, smoldering soul....ploughing a unique furrow in pop music, he demands your enjoyment as much as your respect.
New Musical Express (05/15/1999)

...techno imp's best album since 1995's EVERYTHING IS WRONG....setting snippets from old blues and gospel recordings to new rhythmic settings....PLAY is music that truly moves back to the future. - Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly (06/11/1999)

Stars 4 (out of 5) - ...Moby operates in his own sonic vacuum, where gospel angels ride with outlaw cowboys and b-boy wannabes, just becuase they can. Idiosyncratically brilliant, as ever...
Muzik (06/01/1999)

4 (out of 5) - ...pushing the [electronic music] genre in new directions....[PLAY] draws you in with its beautiful combinations of sound....
Alternative Press (08/01/1999)

...Relying heavily on vocal samples of great Southern spiritual and blues singers, he has crafted an album of uniquely affecting soul....this onetime hardcore kid has found a way to match studio grooves with gospel harmony and deep blues...

  Moby (Play) - Moby at his Best!!!

Moby (Play) is without a doubt Moby at his Finest Hour!!! This compilation album is composed beautifully and puts Moby right up there with the best of them. I used to own this album on cassette which I seem to have misplaced, but this score is that good I decided to buy it again, but on CD. Also for any of you 007 Fans out there that like Moby, you will love some of the Bond Remix's he produces, they are literally 'The Best of The Best'.

Moby (Play) is ***** Rated by me.
