on this coming monday mute will be releasing ‘go the very best of moby: remixed’.
this will be released pretty much everywhere, i believe, but not in north america(sorry, north america. i guess the man doesn’t want you to have a disco party).
earlier i said that it’s a good record. this is still true.
earlier i said that i could say with objectivity that it’s a good record because i didn’t actually do any of the remixes and could thus judge them impartially. this, also, is still true.
earlier i said that the remixers are all much cooler than i. this, also, and sadly, is still true.
note: it’s a dance record. all up-tempo ‘bangin'(i don’t like the word ‘blog’ and i also don’t like losin’ the ‘g’s from the end of words. but i’ll write ‘bangin’ cos it reminds me of flyers from the early rave days)club tracks. thus it is a good record for activities requiring energetic dance music, like, for example, dancing. it’s not such a good record for things that might require introspective, comtemplative music, like, for example, being introspective. or, say, contemplating.
so: saturday night disco party? this record would be great. sunday morning lying in bed reading the collected works of jean baudrillard? maybe this record wouldn’t be so appropriate.
again: driving through berlin at 2 a.m on a friday night? this record would be great. having a quiet conversation with your significant other about whether or not you should consider in vitro fertilization? perhaps other music might be better suited to the situation.
here’s the track listing, featuring a veritable ‘who’s who'(yes, i just wrote ‘veritable “who’s who”. deep down i think it’s been one of my life goals to at some point write ‘veritable “who’s who”. it’s a pretty great expression, and one that i dont’ get to use all that often) of dance dj’s & producers.
if you had a party and you asked all of these people to play music at your party you would probably have to spend around a billion dollars. so, in many ways, this cd is quite a bargain as it costs significantly less than a billion dollars.
thanks,
moby
