Moby - The Move EP [12 MUTE 158 UK 1993 24-Bit FLAC] The proudly religious and vegan self-styled champion of euphoric techno was responsible for some cracking singles during his early Mute period. Love him or hate him, the Little Idiot was both prolific and genre defining during the early-mid nineties. His ode to thrash metal Animal Rights remains a big favourite to this day.

Moby - All Visible Objects [IDIOT 80 UK 2020 24-Bit FLAC] The self-proclaimed Little Idiot has only gone and released a double album of searing, euphoric techno. It's time to party like it's 1993 again! In my opinion, All Visible Objects is his best for a good number of years, possibly since Everything Is Wrong - his two books Porcelain and Then It Fell Apart are humorous tales of sex, drugs and stardom and a bloody good read as well.

Moby - Everything Is Wrong [STUMM 130 UK 1995 24-Bit FLAC] At a time when all dance records began to sound the same, along came Richard Melville Hall and his unique blend of anthemic, euphoric, god-fearing vegan techno. Set aside his monster hit Go! , it took a while for him to break the mainstream ...actually it took a lot of gospel & blues samples and a James Bond theme from memory. I think Moby's problem was that everybody (including himself) took him too seriously and it took an album of thrash-punk to reset everything. Perhaps everything was wrong until then? Everything Is Wrong is the album which precluded that thrash metal-punk album and the mega-seller Play (and all the subsequent hits). It is also my favourite Moby album and it set the tone for my musical listening in the nineties and early noughties. I'm currently reading Moby's first book, Porcelain and it reveals so much about his character, diving into a hedonistic world of dance, drugs and...
