at some point in march, i believe, we’re releasing:
‘go, very best of moby: remixed’.
why?
well, because we have all of these great remixes and we thought that it made sense to release them.
some caveats:
a-it’s not being released in north america(you’ll notice that the north american version of ‘best of’ already came with a bunch of remixes as a bonus disc).
b-i’m not sure which countries it’s being released in.
c-it’s good.
d-i can say that it’s good because i didn’t actually do any of the remixes.
they’re remixes as done by other people on my behalf.
of songs i’d written.
a phenomenon of which i’m sure you’re well acquainted.
or ‘with which’.
you’re well acquainted. that is.
e-some of the remixers are: mylo, murk, olav basoski, faithless, armand van helden, and many others(all of whom are profoundly cooler than i. i just kind of show up and bask in their reflected glory.).
f-it’s basically the songs from ‘best of’ remixed by lots of good remixers.
g-some of the remixes are old, but most are pretty new.
h-one of my hopes is that at some point mute will release every single remix that’s ever been done on my behalf. there are about 18,000 of them. it might make an interesting box set. for the 14 people who’d like to own such a thing. so maybe mute could make 14 of these box sets.
i-think that’s it for now.
j-oh, i don’t know the release date(surprise surprise. i don’t really know much of anything, do i?).
k-the artwork for ‘go, the very best of moby. remixed’ is really new-wave, like a punk rock 12″ from 1981. i like it. again, i can say that i like it cos i just sat in a chair and watched as the talented graphic designer did the work.
ok, that’s all for now.
g’night.
