One of the best dance albums of the 90s

I really don't know how I feel about seeing this called a dance album.

I have a personal connection to this album partly because of the place I was in when I first listened to it, and partly because of the emotional journey this album takes you on.

The end of that album with the title track, God moving over the face of the waters, and then "when it's cold I'd like to die" is an incredibly melancholic, and cathartic ending to an emotional roller coaster of an album.

It's an amazing work of art.

I mean you could dance to my two favourite songs on the album (when it’s cold I’d like to die, and god moving over the face of the waters) but you’d be dancing very slowly.

I don’t listen to techno, but I do go back and revisit this album from time to time. It’s really good.

If you knew anything about electronic music then you'd know Moby is not techno.

I believe we labeled everything Electronica back in those days. It was found in the back of FYE with "World" music

Jeez. I used to own a cd that had a load of remixes on this album. It was awesome until somebody nicked it.

Apropos of nothing: when this album came out, Natalie Portman was 13 years old.

The two of them didn't meet until she was over 18. Yeah, he came off as creepy saying they dated when she was 20 and he was 33 but you're really reaching here.

33/2 = 16.5
16.5 + 7 = 23.5
23.5 > 20

Sorry dude, that's just science.

Except she, Natalie Portman, said that they didn't meet until she was 18. Believe whatever you want but I'll trust the people involved.

I never said that they met before that. I said that, according to the Standard Creepiness Rule, Moby's a creep. That's just science.

I worked at used record stores throughout a bunch of the '90s & into the '00s. Bewteen this album & R.E.M.'s Monster, I could probably build a mansion with the number of copies that passed through my hands.

Purely based on quantiity. I think if I had to sell them all, I'd actually end up owing a lot of money.
