Album: More Fast Songs About the Apocalypse by Moby (2017)
Genre: Electronic | Mood: Philosophical
Record Label: Mute
Format: Album

Description: More Fast Songs About the Apocalypse is the fourteenth studio album by American electronica musician Moby. It was released on June 12, 2017 as a free download and released physically on June 16, 2017 by record labels Little Idiot and Mute. This is the second album from Moby's musical project Moby & The Void Pacific Choir (formed by Moby, Mindy Jones, Julie Mintz, Jonathan Nesvadba, Joel Nesvadba, Jamie Drake and Lauren Tyler Scott).

News regarding the album first appeared in mid-May as various retail stores began taking vinyl pre-orders. A few days before the official release date, official updates surfaced along with a fake PR website of spokesperson John Miller, the name under which current US president Donald Trump used to talk with reporters in the 1980s. On the respective page, Moby under the John Miller alias jokingly dissed himself and More Fast Songs About the Apocalypse. A link was also provided, leading to a free download of both this album and These Systems are Failing. 

On June 20, Moby revealed the music video for 'In this Cold Place', directed by Steve Cutts. Much like 'Are You Lost in the World Like Me?', it is a Looney Tunes-inspired cartoon where the album's main themes of veganism, animal rights, environmental safety, political and social issues as well as their drastic consequences are portrayed. It rapidly drew negative attention from Republican party and Donald Trump supporters, against whom Moby rails.

He is well known for his electronic music, vegan lifestyle, and support of animal rights. Moby has sold over 20 million albums worldwide.

Album: Innocents by Moby (2013)
Genre: Electronic | Mood: Philosophical
Record Label: Mute
Format: Album

Description: Innocents is the upcoming eleventh studio album by American electronic artist Moby. He announced the album through his YouTube channel and through his Web site on July 1, 2013. The first official single from the album "A Case for Shame" was also released on the same day. The album is set to be released on October 1, 2013, and features collaborations on 7 of the album's 12 tracks. For Record Store Day 2013, Moby released a 7-inch record called "The Lonely Night," which featured former Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan. An accompanying video was created by Colin Rich, of which Moby stated: “I’m really excited to have an experimental music video from this great video artist, and I feel like the slow, rich, and languorous desert visuals fit the song perfectly.” The track was subsequently released as a download with remixes by Photek, Gregor Tresher, Freescha and Moby himself.
In July, Moby announced that he would be releasing a new studio album titled Innocents. The album had been written and recorded in the previous 18 months and is due for release in October. The album was recorded in Moby's apartment. As with Destroyed, the photographs compromising the album's artwork were all shot by Moby. The first official single from the album is titled "A Case for Shame," which was released on the 1st of July, while the previously released track "The Lonely Night" will also appear on Innocents. The album was produced by Grammy-winner Mark 'Spike' Stent (Muse, Depeche Mode, Björk, U2, Coldplay).
The album features several guest performers and vocalists, including Cold Specks's Al Spx (who appears on two tracks), Wayne Coyne (The Flaming Lips), Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age), Damien Jurado, Skylar Grey and Inyang Bassey. Of the collaboration, Al Spx explained that Moby approached her to sing on the new album: "He had heard about me because I'm on Mute in America and the UK. He heard about the record ("I Predict a Graceful Expulsion") and asked if I wanted to sing. So I went and I sang. It was a very free, collaborative, creative environment. He was really open to what I was doing and, luckily, he liked what I was doing and it worked really well. I was quite happy to do it and I would probably do it again some day if he asked me." Specks also confirmed that a video was currently being filmed and completed to promote the single "A Case for Shame". It was released on July 17. A quieter remix of the song by Moby himself (“Under the Manhattan Bridge Version”) can be downloaded for free from his official Web site.
It was revealed in August that The Perfect Life, which features Coyne, would be the next single, after a casting call for a music video was announced, calling "for obese Speedo-sporting bikers, nude rollerskating ghosts, and an S&M gimp proficient in rhythmic gymnastics" The video saw a premiere on Rolling Stone's website on the 3rd of September. On working with Coyne, Moby stated that "Wayne and I first met in 1995, when The Flaming Lips and I were both opening up for a Red Hot Chili Peppers’ European tour. We became friends, shared a dressing room and the same bad craft services, and watched the Chili Peppers from the side of the stage. I thought of Wayne for this song because the Flaming Lips have evolved in this very open, celebratory band when they play live, and that was the perfect vibe for what I was imagining for 'The Perfect Life.'

Description: Moby is the debut studio album by American electronica musician Moby, released in 1992 on Instinct Records.
This album was subsequently re-released in 1993 as The Story So Far, with a different track lineup and slightly different cover art, which incorporates the different title.

Album: Play: The B Sides by Moby (2000)
Genre: Electronic | Mood: Philosophical
Record Label: Mute
Format: Compilation

Description: Play: The B Sides is a B-side compilation album by American electronica musician Moby. It was originally bundled in a limited edition box set in 2000 with Moby's acclaimed album, Play, but later released separately on July 27, 2004.
Play: The B Sides is a compilation of tracks that Moby had decided not to include in Play. He explains, "The B Sides is a collection of songs that weren't quite appropriate for Play, but that I still love enough to release as B-sides. Some of these songs might not be instantly accessible, but I (immodestly) think they are all quite special." A few of the album's songs are somewhat similar to the ones found in Play, but the tracks were criticized as inferior. Moby realized this and even admitted that if not for the overwhelming success of Play, the songs would not have been given a wide release. At least five more B-sides were released on various singles from Play but were not included on this release.

"All Visible Objects" showcases Moby's signature blend of electronic and ambient soundscapes, characterized by lush textures and a contemplative atmosphere. The production is polished, featuring a mix of organic instrumentation and digital elements, creating a rich sonic tapestry. Tracks like "Morningside" and "Refuge" evoke a serene quality with gentle melodies and soft percussion, while "Power Is Taken" introduces a more driving rhythm, balancing introspection with energy. The album maintains a moderate tempo throughout, allowing for a reflective listening experience. Distinctive in its emotional resonance, the layering of synths and vocal samples enhances the depth of each track, making it a cohesive exploration of themes like love and change.

Description: Hotel is the seventh studio album by American electronica musician Moby, first released internationally on March 14, 2005 and then on March 22, 2005 in the United States. Hotel was recorded under the Pacha label and mixed at Moby's apartment, Electric Lady Studios, and Loho Studios in Manhattan, New York City. Initial quantities of the album came with a second CD of ambient music entitled Hotel: Ambient.
The album was a departure from Moby's previous two electronica- and dance-driven albums (Play and 18), encorporating a more alternative rock-based approach, and is the first Moby album since 1993's Ambient to not contain any vocal samples. The album received a mixed critical reception. Despite this, it reached number 8 in the UK and debuted straight at number 1 in some European countries and went on to earn gold and platinum awards in over twenty countries, with global sales of over 2 million copies.

Album: Play by Moby (1999)
Genre: Electronic | Mood: Philosophical
Record Label: Mute
Format: Album

Description: Play is the fifth studio album by American electronica musician Moby, released on May 17, 1999 on V2 Records. While some of Moby's earlier work garnered critical and commercial success within the electronic dance music scene, Play was both a critical success and a commercial phenomenon. The album introduced Moby to a worldwide mainstream audience, not only through a large number of hit singles (that helped the album to dominate worldwide charts for two years), but also through unprecedented licensing of his music in films, television, and commercial advertisements. It eventually became the biggest-selling album of its genre, with over 12 million copies sold worldwide. According to Rolling Stone, "Play wasn't the first album to make a rock star out of an insular techno nerdnik, but it was the first to make one a pop sensation.  Play made post-modernism cuddly, slowly but surely striking a chord with critics and record-buyers alike."
One of the notable aspects of Play, as opposed to other electronic albums of the time, was the way in which it combined old gospel and folk music rhythms with modern house sensibilities. Moby sampled heavily from the collected field recordings of Alan Lomax in songs such as "Honey", "Find My Baby", and "Natural Blues", while the track "Run On" was inspired by the traditional "God's Gonna Cut You Down". The album also has more purely electronic tracks, as well as the rock-influenced single "South Side" and the more ambient "Porcelain". In 2003, the album was ranked number 341 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
It was nominated for both a Grammy Award and Brit Award, was the UK's biggest selling independent album of 2000, and certified platinum status in more than 20 countries.

Description: Wait for Me is the ninth studio album by American electronica musician Moby, released on June 29, 2009. Moby announced the title, track listing, and release date of the album on his website on April 14, 2009.
The first single from the album was "Shot in the Back of the Head". The song's accompanying music video was directed by David Lynch. The videos to "Pale Horses" and "Mistake" feature the alien shown on the cover and a dog. The alien is a new design of "Little Idiot" who appeared in earlier videos (the videos for Play's "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?" and "Natural Blues" are both examples) and is also the name of Moby's own label, on which the album was released.
The album was re-released as a Deluxe Edition on November 23, 2009 featuring the complete Wait for Me original album, two new songs (including the brand new single "One Time We Lived"), an extra CD of ambient versions of almost all the songs, and a DVD featuring many recent live performances, an intimate EPK of the album, a section of questions and answers, and five music videos made for the album.[14]

Album: Everything Is Wrong by Moby (1995)
Genre: Electronic | Mood: Philosophical
Record Label: Mute
Format: Album

Description: Everything Is Wrong is the third studio album by American electronica musician Moby, released in 1995. The album was Moby’s first acclaimed electronica album, but true mainstream success did not come about until the release of his 1999 album, Play.
Everything Is Wrong was released with a limited edition bonus disc of ambient music, Underwater, 43:07 in length.

Genre: Electronic | Mood: Philosophical
Record Label: Mute
Format: Album

Description: Animal Rights is the fourth studio album by American electronica musician Moby, released on September 23, 1996.Moby's decision to release a punk rock album was in part the result of being disillusioned by the lack of positive media feedback he had been receiving from the music media for his electronic works, which they struggled to comprehend and failed to take very seriously. Ironically, just as Moby decided to change direction, the electronic music he moved away from started to gain recognition and popularity through artists like The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy.
The album's liner notes contain various pictures (the cover photograph features Moby at two weeks old, being held by his grandfather), an essay on the course of basic rights over history, an essay outlining Moby's disregard for the Christian Coalition, and a page with various "last minute maxims", such as "cruelty is unacceptable" and "you can't expect people to worry about the world when they can't feed themselves or their children."

Genre: Electronic | Mood: Philosophical

On his official website, Moby stated that this album is "a lot more dance-oriented and electronic than my last few albums, probably as a result of all of the DJ'ing I've been doing lately". He also wrote that:
Last Night is basically a love letter to dance music in New York City. What I love about the New York approach to dance music is the eclecticism and the open minded-ness on the part of the musicians, the DJ's, and the people in the bars and clubs. In making Last Night, I essentially tried to take a long 8 hour night out in New York City and condense it into a 65 minute long album.
The album was recorded in Moby's home studio in Manhattan, New York and features a number of guest vocalists, including Wendy Starland, MC Grandmaster Caz (one of the writers of "Rapper's Delight", which boosted the popularity of sampling, a common method to make the music on Moby's 1999 blockbuster Play), Sylvia from the band Kudu, British MC Aynzli, and the Nigerian 419 Squad.
