maybe he's a big rick james fan?

all sarcastic exaggeration aside, i think it's fairly safe to say that the wink
track was influenced by the bell track, or is similar to the bell track, but i
just don't see the necessity for the level of vehemence that's been invoked in
condemning the former artist.  it's not as if it's an abominable tone-for-tone
trance cover released by a major label directly in violation of the original
artist's rights-- the two tracks are kind of similar but hardly identical, wink
is a credible artist (well, relative to sony), and does an (imho) pretty good
job of playing around with the sonic elements that he shares with bell while
simultaenously keeping his track different enough to allow it to stand on its
own merits.

anyways, that's enough yammering about this more-than-dead subject out of me.
so what does everybody think about the new moby album?   ;)
