Animal Rights is criminally underrated, great ambient pieces and amazing punk songs. Play and 18 are great, so much nostalgia and bangers on both album's.
very true. I remember being at best buy and they had a 3-pack of moby CD's in one box set. It was Animal Rights, Everything is Wrong and I Like to Score. I wish I had purchased that 3-pack because now 15 years later i've really come to appreciate all of those works
There was a lot of great music in 1999 in all styles. Maybe for popular music, this was special but there was a lot of quality triphop, dnb, hiphop etc etc
Even though every album after Play was consistently less successful, I have several favourite songs from 18, Hotel: Ambient, Last Night, Wait For Me, Destroyed, Innocents and forever he will make phenomenal music!
I'm embarrassed to admit that I only really know two songs by Moby- Southside, and My Weakness (which was used in an episode of The X-Files). Fantastic video, Josh!
Hum … I don't hink i would have said ' fall from grace that's more bill cosby or harvy Weinstein and kevin spacey …. fame just tapers off after awhile … and you're replaced by the newest shiniest thing …..
Porcelain was one of the songs that sparked my obsession with electronic music when I was 15 :) at that time all I'd listen to was rock and metal but a year later pretty much all I was listening to was house music lol
yeah that was THE song that got me into moby and then sent me down a rabbit hole of late 90's techno artists like daft punk, chemical bros, fatboy slim, crystal method, etc.
Fantastic video. I don't have much experience with Moby. I haven't even listened to a full album of his. But I have heard some of his work in commercials and in film and television. Specifically, Any Given Sunday, Deliver Us From Evil and Stranger Things(Season 1). My favorite song of his that I have heard to date is "When it's cold, I'd like to die." I also enjoy Extreme Ways.
It's ok for you to like Extreme Ways because that's a good song but it's not ok for you to not care for the entire Play album, you are wrong Zack...so very wrong
Cool video man. I found it after searching for a Moby documentary and I'm pretty impressed with some of the insights you have. If I may make a suggestion, the mic is pretty bad so the mids are way too peaky. Your knowledge and passion are being diminished by a bad mic, I'm subbed and look forward to your new content!
Another great video, although I would say that Fatboy Slim's "You've Come a Long Way, Baby," which came out a few months before "Play," was similar in its approach.
@@DancingwithGhosts A friend of mine even went so far as to say he felt the "Bodyrock" video was a "rip-off" of the "Praise You" video. I loved both videos and didn't see it that way. I did see those albums as complementary at the time, though. Man, now you've got me nostalgic for 1999.
@@SirHatchporch hahaa me too dude.. when remiscing about Moby it made me super nostalgic and miss those days.. I wish I could have actually gone to a rave in the 90s but i was too young.. Bodyrock is actually my least favorite song off Play, it also feels the most dated

I came across Moby on instagram , i follow him he's all about animals and being vegan. Lots of people still like him a lot.
Another excellent documentary. Right to the point and enjoyable to watch.
thank you :)

Many of Mobys albums are brilliant... Destroyed, Everything Was beautiful, All Visible Objects.... and the punk albums and ambient music.

Not enough people talk about Moby
i agree, it's sad that he's so underrated these days, his music is still relevant and good
I'm embarrassed to admit that I only really know two songs by Moby- Southside, and My Weakness (which was used in an episode of The X-Files). Fantastic video, Josh!
Check the whole of the Play album Play B Sidss, Destroyed and the more recent Everything Was Beautiful and All Visible Objects.
Absolutely amazing video! Just subbed 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Another fantastic job. I was wondering what happened to Moby...now I know! Thank you.
awesome :) thanks
Very, very well done Josh
thanks Pat! :)

I love 18. And his “all visible objects dj set” was so good
I’ve always liked Extreme Ways, but never cared for much else of Moby’s catalog

great video kid, keep it up
So wild, I swear Play was the 1st CD I'd ever bought. At a Border's of all places lol

I'll have to give that one a listen, though i do know the hits from the album like Praise You

hating on limp bizkit today is the lamest thing you can do if you are a music fan. its so lame to hate on them nowadays and they are fun to listen to.
so your just going to gloss over the fact that he invented speedcore with this song 1000bpm?
sexy
Eminem co-killed Moby's career.
he was a flavor of the month for 99 then people just lost interest.. the diss from eminem didn't help
He is annoying
What about the "everything's Wrong" album!? That alblum was magic & otherworldly IMO ☺️✨🪐
