Description : Moby - Play (Probably the most original album in ages!!)

Review :

Ok, to put a points clear first. I bought this album when it first came out which was over a year ago. By then, only two tracks had been released, "Body Rock" and "Why does my heart feel so bad?", and this was long before the whole "Moby takes over advert campaigns" thing. The best way to approach the album is with an open mind. With there being 17 tracks on the album, there is a wide variety for all tastes.

Some may say it's a concept album, others a basic advertising album (Remember the lightning seeds?) but this album was out ages and no one batted an eyelid. Now there have been many tracks released due mainly to the success of many adverts and films like the beach. If you are a true lover of music then "Play" should have been in your collection ages ago. If you prefer the monotonous and choreographed routine of Steps, then this might not be for you.

Regardless, find someone who has this album and give it a listen. (In full!!!)

Altogether, the most original and inventive album I have heard in ages.
