Moby - Last Night [Mute Records]

22:57 - April 21, 2008

by davehart

The brand new artist album from state side producer Moby has finally arrived. If you thought he was just going to live off release 'Best Of' albums think again on here are fourteen new tracks to really enjoy.

The last few Moby albums that have been released celebrated his old productions and highlighted some fine remixes that other producers have done. His last artist album I have to say did not really impress on me that much even if it had a few catchy tracks on there. Compared to his earlier works it just seemed a bit week. That album is just a distant memory now as he is back to form with this new release. It's an album I've been waiting for since I first saw he was releasing a new one this year

I'd probably file Moby under the pop/dance category with his last releases being more song based than dance element based. This new album is very good indeed. It's got relaxing uplifting rhythms, old sounding synths mixed with piano riffs giving some tracks a bit of a funky feel. The opening track seemed to start off a bit slow as if it got recorded at the wrong pitch. 'Ooh Year' yeah is a steady track with a slow sluggish beat that breaks into a piano led break with a female vocal singing about something. I say something as without looking at the score I can't make it out with the effects on it. It is a catchy track to start the album off with and one Pete Tong featured in his Essential Selection last Friday. I think he rather liked Moby's first artist album for three years as much as me.

The overall vibe with this album is a lot of vocal fed tracks with different styles. Some on the house side, others more break beat and tracks like 'Live For Tomorrow' being chilled epic beats with a what I'd class typical Moby vocal sound offering the hook in the track. The mixture of down tempo tracks and more upbeat stuff is a nice blend. One track you should have a nosey at on here is 'Everyday it is 1989' which has an old sound about it. It starts off with a simple deep house beat and drum stutters leading to a piano melody feeding in a vocal. The vocal, I understand the first bit but not the last but I'm sure its saying something understandable. The beat and piano elements in it really give the track a good vibe and that feel good factor.

Moby has always been an artist I've enjoyed and that continues with this album. I'm not one for chilled out really down tempo tracks that he slides in at the end of the album but the stuff with a beat floats my boat all right. There is a hidden bonus track right at the end of the album which would see fit for being the backing music for a restaurant as it’s a chilled down tempo piano offering with a hint of jazz about it. A few people I've played this album to enjoyed it to and for those who are new to Moby I'd recommend you check out his early works, although different to his style these days, they are very good.

Conclusion:
This is a welcome return to the scene for Moby and a good one at that. It’s an album packed with variety but possessing that Moby dance style rather than more pop focused records. It is certainly better than his last album for sure and very much worth adding to the record collection.
