Product Description

It's easy to dismiss the music of this cute, vegan, bare-pated relative of Herman Melville, especially if you don't actually listen to the music and focus instead on his ultra-PC interview style or the manner in which he sold dozens of songs to commercials and film soundtracks back in Y2K. But to do so is to knee-jerkedly miss out on some very fine and innovative music by one of the most influential musicians of the last decade. With the exception of two tracks (one of them the title tune), Go is a best-of from the years that Moby's been on the V2 label, from 1999's breakthrough hit Play onward. But Play--with its uncanny reworking of field recordings with playful beats and ambient textures--remains the artist's finest moment. A full disc of remixes and a smattering of unreleased songs (including a rad new number with Debbie Harry on guest vocals) make this an essential purchase for rabid fans. And, as a judicious selection of Play-era material is included alongside the finest songs from Moby's subsequent albums, 18 and Hotel, this is also the perfect entry point for the more casual fan. --Mike McGonigal
Product Description
While hailed as one of the most important musical figures since the early 90s, Moby has enjoyed great success bringing music to a mainstream audience by giving the notoriously anonymous electronic genre an identity and recognizable face. From his 1992 debut, with the massive club hit 'Go,' to the groundbreaking success of the inventive' Play', to the critical acclaim of last year's 'Hotel', Moby has become and iconic figure in the world of pop music, as well as a household name. The DELUXE EDITION features an 11-track remix CD personally compiled by Moby including the legendary 'Bodyrock' Olav Basoski remix The deluxe edition tracks are NOT available on ANY Moby full-length CD. Many of the remixes on the 2nd disc are hard to find. Several were only released as commercial 12 inch singles or on a compilation, others have only partially been featured within a megamix, and three more tracks have never been released at all! In 2007, V2 will release a single disc version of the Greatest Hits. None of the incredible content from the remix CD will be included. The deluxe edition will not be kept active indefinitely, so this is the time to maximize this great package.

Compilation cd's never do the artist justice, however... Moby's "BEST OF" comp satisfies both the casual, and the die-hard fans.
Whittling down someone's career into sixteen tracks is always a tough task, nevertheless, this package is more than a satisfactory listen. The big hits are here from PLAY, HOTEL... EVERYTHING IS WRONG... heck, you'll probably buy this, and then you'll wanna get other selections...
For the Fans, there's a full extra cd of Remixes, as well as the New Moby Track "New York, New York" featuring Debbie Harry... the video for the track is absolutely mesmerizing.
His cover of "That's when I reach for my revolver" originally done by MISSION OF BURMA isn't on this comp, although I highly suggest you check the song out, as well as his earlier album "Animal rights".
All in all, worth the money.

Greatest Best
Oct 27 2006
By JBizzle
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is a great collection showcasing some of the high points of Moby's career. All the greatest hits from rescent years including "Porcelain", "South Side", & "Go". The real cool part of this collection is the additional remix disc. Included are remix's from some of dance music's top talent such as "Mylo", "Tiesto", "Oakenfold", & "Corsten" to only name a few. You'll already have most of these if like me you've already bought his singles, but it's still nice having all these on one disc. The only gripe I have & it's a small gripe is the lack of "Hybrid" remixs on disc 2. Again, not a huge issue & definately not a deal breaker, but it woulda' been nice seeings as Hybrid's mix's of both "Southside" & "Bodyrock" blow "Basoski" & "Heller"'s mix's outta the water. All in all this collection honors Moby well. It may not have everything, but still a great jumping on point for casual listeners & anyone wanting to jump into the world of Moby.

The mostly best of.

Format:Audio CD
This is actually a good collection of Moby, though mostly of his work from "Play" and afterwards. Of course there's still a few flaws. It's only 61 minutes, should be a good 70. There's alot from his huge album "Play", but it's still missing "Bodyrock". It IS on the remix disc, but is nearly a different song. Also from "Play" is "South Side", but it is NOT the superior version with Gwen Stefani. Why not? Who knows. However, the new track "New York, New York" with Debbie Harry is good, and we get other big hits such as "We Are All Made Of Stars" and "Beautiful". Plus a new mix of "Go" and a live "Feeling So Real". The remix disc is a bonus for fanatics. Others might not care so much. This collection would go well with "Mobysongs 93-98". Still does the job alone though.

Mix CD is Great

The remix CD is fun to listen to. It reminds me a lot of how I figure Paul Oakenfold would remix Moby's music. It's very trance techno and there are a few tracks on there that get you shakin' your b**t in the car seat a bit. The best-of CD is basically all of Moby's best songs. You can't make that CD any better unless you somehow improve Moby's original songs. Good work.
