iTunes Review

Moby has spent several decades confounding expectations, turning towards alternative rock as techno was gaining ground in the mid-‘90s, favoring field recordings and gospel grooves with 1999’s Play, and then throwing out the vocal samples for 2005’s Hotel. With 2008’s Last Night, Moby's looking back with affection at a bygone era, while simultaneously celebrating the nightlife he still feels deep in his musical soul. Described as a loose concept album in which an entire night on the NYC dance scene (spanning several decades) is condensed into a sixty minute groove, Last Night surfs a dramatic arc that never takes itself too seriously — though “Degenerates” features a morbid symphonic sweep and the album’s title track features an exhausted Sylvia Gordon from the NY band Kudu at her most vocally distressed. ‘70s disco, Giorgio Moroder-styled Euro-disco, downtempo, rave anthems, and early hip-hop are all fleshed out in Moby’s epic style with special guests from Grandmaster Caz of the Cold Crush Brothers to members of 419 Squad and Aynzli adding their authentic touches. Is there such a thing as “Classic Techno”? There is now.

Customer Reviews

Party Like its 1989

Moby is very much either a love or hate guy, and this album is unlikely to win any new fans. 2008 has seen great dance releases from Hot Chip, Pete Lunn and The Whip so how does this compare? Well aside from some tracks which would be better left in 1989 it does boast plenty of new classic Moby moments. The openening 3 tracks all all great, as are 'Sweet Apocalypse', 'Mothers of The Night' and 'Live For Tommorow'. Expect to hear them on many a TV show or advert. The forays into old skool rave and dance seem a little pointless, when you can get the real thing on Moby's early albums. So just enough to keep Moby fans happy for the time being.

If you're unsure...

Moby, setting an extremely high standard with his previous release, had to make this just as amazing or atleast create a different produce. In actual fact, it's both. With a more upbeat vibe, 'Last Night' is an album that can be listened to from start to finish repeatedly with built-up excitement for the next track just as it lasts from the previous. Give it a go on headphones to appreciate the stereo-field play and other clever mixing methods.

Some New Old Skool

Heard this as Album Of The Day on Radio 6 Music. Loved it right from the start. Takes me back to approx 1990. It might not be new sounding, but to get some new Old Skool is brilliant. Well worth a listen. My album of the year so far.

Biography

Born: 11 September 1965 in Harlem, New York, NY

Genre: Electronic

Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

Moby was one of the most controversial figures in techno music, alternately praised for bringing a face to the notoriously anonymous electronic genre and scorned by hordes of techno artists and fans for diluting and trivializing the form. In either case, Moby was one of the most important dance music figures of the early '90s, helping bring the music to a mainstream audience both in England and in America. Moby fused rapid disco beats with heavy distorted guitars, punk rhythms, and detailed productions...
