 Pretty bad June 16, 2008
David A. Maas
This is a CD of original unremixed Moby, back from when he called himself Voodoo Child. It's pretty bad - Have you Seen My Baby is decent, but overall it's not a good CD. It's interesting to compare to his newer stuff (like Play), as you can definitely hear some of his influences, however he simply wasn't a good producer at the time in which he made these songs.

This is probably one of my all time favorite albums. I think it's easily Moby's most psychedelic work. It epitomizes what I imagine the rave scene was all about (imagine since I wasn't really a participant back in the day). If you listen to it expecting certain things you might be disappointed. It's raw and kind of elemental in its delivery. On it's surface it might seem simplistic. If you listen long enough you realize, however, that each sound is lovingly chosen, each incongruent rhythm expertly rendered to contribute to an otherworldy, trippy feeling. It's the type of techno I'd want to do a Shamanistic dance to (if I were into that sort of thing).
BEST OF MOBY December 29, 2004

This C.D is quite the surprise coming from Moby! Used to his weird but funky tunes on c.d's like 18 and Play? This Album definitly is quite different from the other. Its more hardcore, it's more jamming and it's more rumble in the bronx. two thumbs up my man, props

The music on this album may not be as complex or as polished as that on 'Moby' but it's a rich seam of early techno-period Moby tracks that you probably haven't heard before. My favourite tracks are Besame and UHF 4 mainly because they have the piano riffs (or whetever they're called) in them. A lot of the tracks could be seen as prequels the tracks on 'Moby' (Go Original Mix is an interesting listen) and Moby's learning curve can be heard when comparing these tracks to the ones on 'Moby'. The bottom line is, if you liked 'Moby' you'll like this.
Excellent February 3, 2003
I don't see how people can not like this CD. I mean, obviously, you probably don't want to start with this if you've just bought Play or 18 and now you want to venture into Moby's past - if that's what you want, I reccomend you look at Everything Is Wrong. But a prequel to Play this ain't.What it IS, however, is a bunch of GREAT songs (except for Drug Fits the Face, which is jarring in its irritance), including the original Go (which everyone seems to hate except me), UHF3 (which features great early 90's piano); Voodoo Child, one of my favorite Moby songs of all time, as well as other quirks like Move the Colors, great album opener Besame, Rock the House, and Party Time. M-Four, the last track, is a great album ender. Highly recommended.
