The only problem I might say I have with Moby,and not that I really lose any
sleep over it, but since its come up, is that he has released some solid
techno tunes in the past. His stuff as Voodoo child was wicked at the time,
but I remember reading an interview with him where he stated he hated techno
and was going back to his punk roots. Now whether or not he has since
returned to the bare fringes of the techno genre because his punk stuff
didn't sell, despite slagging it off, is another debate that, I guess, only
he could really answer. If he did, well yeah, he's a sell out. But if not,

Voodoo Child vinyl (circa 1991 I think) titled Voodoo Child Remixes on
Instinct (cat. no. EX-232)... the label says Written, produced,  arranged
by Richard M. Hall.  Is this Moby's actual name, another alias, or another

the simple answer is that moby is outside this sphere - he seems to have 
more in common with britney spears. his music has been watered down by its 
overuse in what seems like every bloody car ad on tv. his music has instant 
appeal across the board, ie for the masses, as it's, imo, inoffensive and 
bland.


this is the man who turned his back on electronic music (with his album 
animal rights), saying it was dead, but quickly changed his tune when his 
album failed to shift. silly bugger.

Go was possibly the only 'techno' track he has ever done. Even that was
poor, and reeked of kiddie coin. Moby has nothing to do with techno as far
as I'm aware, and never has done.

I'd have to beg to differ. He had everything to do with techno as it was
then defined from about '92-'94 (if you don't agree it was good, that
doesn't mean it didn't fit with the definition of the term at that time). It
may not have been Detroit techno in the purist sense, but it was techno. It
wasn't until Move (I think it was called) that he started to incorporate
live instruments and turn his back on the techno community. That's when he
started to live out his long-time dream of being in a punk band, but trying
to do it himself with electronics. At that point, I don't think you could
really fault his shift in direction even though I can't really listen to
most of that stuff anymore.

Next is the E is another example of a Moby techno song, along with the rest
of that EP. Hell, I still listen to his Ambient album, which is oddly
misnamed (even as that term was being losely thrown around back then). Some
of it sounds like a weird cross between Plastikman and Model 500. It has a
similar feel to Deep Space IMO, altough nowhere near the complexity, depth
or importance to the future of techno. That's his best work by far IMO.

I think to give the man a fair criticism, you need to give him his due for
what he once was to techno. He was no Messiah to the techno world, but he
was a relatively important figure. IMO, that makes his moves over the last
5-6 years that much more unappealing than if he was irrelevant the whole
time.

Let's try not to turn this into Moby flame vol. VI. Please?

One thing about Moby; he is the most recognizable electronic artist in the
world. My 4 year old son, Trevor, can spot him a mile away on any show. He
spotted him on MTV Cribs, the Grammy's, mulitple videos on MTV and VH1, and
just the other day he spotted him on the Andy Dick Show. It so funny because
he'll shot out daddy, theres Moby again! Also, when I first got the Play
album, he'd always ask me can we listen to Moby? as I drove him to and
from daycare everyday. Trevor just has electronic music in his blood, and
Moby is a part of his musical universe. So in that sense Moby is Trevors
Britney Spears and I dont mean that in a negative way.

Underground?  Surely not.  But I won't chastise him for attaining
popularity.

But did he stay techno?  I mean, I listened to his latest, Play, and
some of his work afterwards.  And he veers away from techno more and more.
I mean, Southside, with that girl from No Doubt.  Argh, what absolute
horrendous music to torture my fragile ears with.  Play had some gems
(Porcelain comes to mind), but as a whole, it sounded like Moby wanted to
hit the mainstream so much that he shunned his techno roots.  Yes, it sounds
commercial, and yes, by sounding commercial, he sounds less electronic.

Never mind his punk rock album he made, I just think Moby is moving away
slowly from what built him up.

This is the issue with the Richie Hawtin @ Gatecrasher

I think a lot of people think of our music as if it is

good-for-nothing kids outside for their behaviour and
don't want our kid playing with them (I know it sounds
kinda stupid but...).  

The only way to resolve this issue IMO is for the
mainstream to change so that the music industry isn't
a world of superstars and underground music and stuff.
People need to be allowed to like what they like, not
what is said to be cool. We might give the other
kids a chance if they were willing to change. Places
like Gatecrasher need to stop bringing in dj's that
they know will sell and bring some real music in. Not
just techno either the whole system is wrong at the
moment.

mainstream to change so that the music industry isn't
a world of superstars and underground music and stuff.
People need to be allowed to like what they like, not
what is said to be cool. We might give the other
kids a chance if they were willing to change. Places
like Gatecrasher need to stop bringing in dj's that
they know will sell and bring some real music in. Not
just techno either the whole system is wrong at the
moment.

Just thinking,
Nick (Dj Pacific:)

Re: [313] is moby still techno

this guy is no image-maker.  i mean he's a skinny bald white guy with a 
quiet demeanor.


Uh, isn't that an image right there? It's hard now not to recognize his mug. 
He's been on the cover of every major music magazine, in tv commercials, 
giant clothing adverts, not to mention MTV rotation.  He is an image maker. 
No ifs, ands, or buts about it.



he still is pushing electronic music to greater levels.


A better thing to figure out is whether he is opening doors for others 
and/or inspiring others to create music.


Some of his music is beautiful but I feel it's rather simple... there aren't 
any big surprises in it. It's very baroque in it's attitude. It's catchy and 
pop tinged and if that's what he wants to do then so be it. Pop tunes can be 
useful and meaningful to some. It's not something I would purchase because I 
find that after two or three listens I've discovered everything there is 
about the tune. Some people might still consider him techno... he certainly 
doesn't (he's told me this personally). I'm actually really tired of 
figuring out whether someone is techno or not... call it what you will. Or 
as D.May titled it: It is what it is.

  well i just thought it my 313 duty to add my two
cents in...
  i agree that moby may not be techno, but IMHO he
still is pushing electronic music to greater levels.
this guy is no image-maker.  i mean he's a skinny bald
white guy with a quiet demeanor.  i feel that he
although he may be existing in the commercial world at
this moment he doesn't represent it.  i feel he is in
the underground of pop culture and i think that is an
excellent place for an artist to be.

just my thoughts
