Review: 18 came at a time in Moby's career when the bulk of his hits had been and gone. Play, Moby, Ambient and Everything Is Wrong had all made a splash, and by 2002 the artist, real name Richard Melville Hall, was seeking to broaden his horizons. The breakbeat stylings of Go, for example, still shine through on 18, but additional ambient and trip-hop tinges also impress on tracks like Jam For The Ladies and Harbour, featuring Sinead O'Connor and MC Lyte respectively.
Review: Moby has been in the headlines for some of the wrong reason recently but his music still warrants attention. His best days might have been his earliest period and albums like Play and 13 but on this record electronica meets orchestral in a new collection of house, techno and contemporary classical remixes of his material. The album comes with notes on the project from the man himself as well as reworking alongside the Budapest Art Orchestra of his most recognizable rave classics and anthems, many of which have all new arrangements for orchestra and acoustic instruments.

Review: The follow up to his acclaimed album Reprise, released in May 2021, Resounds NYC sees electronic pioneer Moby reimagining and orchestrating fifteen of his most iconic tracks, written or recorded in New York during 1994 to 2010. Featuring an impressive array of internationally acclaimed vocalists including Gregory Porter, Ricky Wilson (from Kaiser Chiefs fame), Margo Timmons, and Amythyst Kiah, Moby has also paved the way for smaller names. Collaborating with lesser known artists including P.T. Banks - discovered by Moby via a wedding band in Texas - a democratic touch that sees the iconic artist giving airtime to the talent that has naturally crossed his path. Another instant-classic from the ground-breaking musician.
