Move EP

1)MOVE-A fast-paced dance track which has some high, strong vocals for the chorus. And if you don't know why it's called "Move", you will hear Moby (or another alike voice) saying in a soft tone of voice 'move' throughout the song.
2)ALL THAT I NEED IS TO BE LOVED-A nice techno version which is again long. I love the way Moby's vocals (only to be found scattered in choruses throughout the song) blend in with the techno sound. Creepy voice in the beginning.
3)MORNING DOVE-Nice tribal beat. You do hear sounds of birds in this one. Pretty well done.
4)MOVE (disco threat)-A beginning piano beat that songs very much like "Bring Back My Hapiness" from Everything Is Wrong by him. Great mix and great beginning piano.
5)UNLOVED SYMPHONY-You don't usually hear songs with this much variety, but listen to this if you really want variety. The beat goes to soft string at about 2:20.
6)THE RAIN FALLS AND THE SKY SHUDDERS-Amazingly relaxing, loving this one. About 6:15. A very nice rain sound in the background with great playing of piano in a classical way.

Well, that is my review. If you buy this CD, please respect the variety of styles and try to enjoy it. 'Move EP' prints a good selection of Moby tracks and sounds decent even more than 9 years from Aug. 31, 1993. If you like techno & ambient, this would be good to buy.

This has to be the best work that moby has ever done.
I remember in my band a few years back, moby was the one musician that got our lazy buts up and recording.
Ive been trying for 4 years to find this album (name) and I have finally found it.
This will deffinetly be listen to repeditevly for years to come.
Everyone in america should have this album, because it brings on a type of spirituality that not many other bands can give.

So, it's not an album. It's still a very important work that must be collected and listened to if you are a true fan of the man who likes to call himself, The Little Idiot. It represents Moby at his finest in techno and in ambient. Move is a great techno song and the remix may be better than the original. All That I Need Is To Be Loved which would be on his Everything Is Wrong CD as a hard/punk rock track gets an electric techno mix to it (I love this version instead of the one on EIW). The Rain Falls and the Sky Shudders is a great ambient track that is only rivaled by God Moving Over the Face of the Waters when it comes to his ambient pieces. Yea, maybe there are only 6 tracks on this EP, but with 4 of them being unbelievable tracks that only Moby can do, you owe it to yourself, especially if you are a fan of the techno/electronica/trance genre, to pick up this diamond in the rough.

This 6 track, 32 minute EP from 1993 hosts some of Moby's finest tracks. I purchased this cd in 1994 and I still consider it to be a fine release. You get a share of uptempo house with the first track 'Move', with it's choral style vocal samples and smooth beats and piano. You get one of Moby's first attempts at vocals, with his maniacal-tinged tones on 'All that I want is to Be Loved' followed along with a hard house beat and squeltchy acid synths. Track three has a more progressive, faster tribal beat, interesting vocal samples and it stomps on effectively. One delight of this quality EP is the track 'Unloved Symphony', where repetition rules... the beat remains the same and tests your ability to get into repetitious grooves. The layered synthesizers and abrasive textures further enhance the track into somewhat of an exciting dizzy experiment. It works well. There's also another mix of the first track, this one quite fast are uplifting. The female singing 'you make me feel so good!' crops up again. Moby signs off with a sleepy, piano meandering track with nighttime synth hovers which somehow remind me of The Doors' Riders on the Storm. The Move EP is quality from start to finish, and has as much variety as a 6 track EP can have. It may sound it's age to some people, but you can't deny the talent that Moby has. It avoids the more pretentious, dance grooves of Moby's self titled release (though that one is a classic also), and it also doesn't have the song structure or guitars that Moby later picked up with his Animal Rights album. Many Moby fans were created with the release of Play, and if these people are looking for a clear window into Moby's earlier recordings, I highly suggest this quality EP.
