Moby's new tune

joethelion · #1 04-25-2009, 10:41 AM

Ok - I am surprised that I'm the first person to mention this... as I'm pretty sure I'm more of a "former fan" of his - and there's definitely at least a couple of people here who are still in the category of "current fan"

but I digress...

how freakingly strange is it that "Shot in the Back of the Head" (the new track) is actually

*wait for it*

a GOOD SONG?!?!?!

seriously. It's not him trying to re-do his old songs (like on "Last Night") 'coldplay it up' as on "Hotel", or make music that sounds overly dry and dead - like on at least half of "18"

when does the new album come out?

It makes me wonder if he's going to do another "Animal Rights" - which, I'm sorry... was actually an incredible album ... once you took away most of those "thrash metal" (or whatever you want to call them) songs

I agree - "Shot in the back of the head" IS pretty good. I thought last year's "Last Night" was a definite improvement over "18" and "Hotel", but since the success of "Play", Moby's seemingly been trying too hard. I hope his new album truly is an unabashed return to form - just making nice, danceable music with some 4-chord emotion.

Might be worth mentioning that you can download the song in question from Moby's website.

New album is called "wait for me" and is coming out in June.

That was a good one.

I'm sorry, but, even though it's dated itself to the early rave days and such, the full release with "Go" and "Drop a Beat" will always be my fav. just from the memories that are brought about when I hear it, when I hear it.

And I've only done the "E"* once, and didn't like it. You get this raging hard-on and f. & f. & f. and f. and f. & yet, nothing ever REALLY happens.

Oh shit, did I say something like that out loud again.

W-E-T-F.

F-ing CYAssing & S.: X = new & improved coo-Koo-l-aid.

Really like this, nice trippy ambiance going on.

Take away the reversed sample and its all very The Album Leaf... which isnt a bad thing.

The video is from David Lynch. Have you seen it ?

yup its on Youtube

yes its a bit Album Leaf and no that isnt a bad thing...

..but still has Moby ever really sounded like Moby? Even in the Go days there was a fairly strong element of Fatboy Slim and Radiohead ... and that is why i think that Moby is never consistant.. he doesnt have his own sound..

..i can already hear a few guns being loaded and aimed in my general direction...but this definitely doesnt scream brilliance..

The Radiohead guys hadn't even been born yet.

Hmm - i didn't get the Album Leaf vive from this...it's still distinctly Moby in terms of minor chord electronica, but certainly less cookie cutter than what he's been pushing for the last 8-9 years. This could have been on "Animal Rights" or maybe a B-Side for "Everything Is Wrong". I like that he's calling the new album an attempt to make beautiful music free from celebrity guests or concepts.
