That won't happen... Moby knows what sells... He tries to please the mainstream... Duke Ellington did what he wanted to do and his stuff has a place in music history... The difference between Ellington and Moby is that Duke Ellington isn't a sellout... People that sellout generally start making crap music... Kinda like when the money got to Michael Jackson's head, he went all weird.
