I just don't get the Moby is a pioneer argument myself. You know the story of that album, don't you? Moby went out to his local chain store bought two CDs of old blues/gospel samples and thought aha and viola. You could do it. Even Puffy is more original as at least he devised an aesthetic (hip-hop soul) and didn't just sample. And as for Moby's live shows, well..... Now Garnier, there IS a genius.
