Moby
Richard Melville Hall, 11 September 1965,
New York, USA. A New York DJ, recording artist, Christian,
vegan and Philosophy graduate. Moby is so nicknamed because
of the fact that he can trace his ancestry to the author of
the famous whaling tale. This is by no means the only interesting aspect of his idiosyncratic
artistic life. He refuses to travel anywhere by car because
of the environmental considerations, and generally displays
little of the public anonymity that is the creed of the underground
DJ. In 1991, he took the Twin Peaks theme, under the guise
of "Go", into the UK Top 10. Although that appealed
to the more perverse natures of both mainstream and club audiences,
the release of "I Feel It"/"Thousand"
in 1993 was yet more bizarre. The latter track was classified
by The Guinness Book Of Records as the fastest single ever,
climaxing at 1,015 bpm. It was typical of Moby's playful,
irreverent attitude to his work. In his youth he was a member
of hardcore punk outfit the Vatican Commandos, and even substituted
as singer for Flipper while their vocalist was in prison. He has brought these rock 'n' roll inclinations to bear on
the world of dance music: at the 1992 DMC/Mixmag Awards ceremony
he trashed his keyboards at the end of his set. His introduction
to dance music began in the mid-80s: "I was drawn to
it, I started reading about it, started hanging out in clubs.
For me house music was the synthesis of the punk era."
He collected cheap, second hand recording equipment, basing
himself in an old factory/converted prison in New York's Little
Italy district. The albums issued by New York dance label
Instinct collect the artist's early work. Ambient comprised
unissued cuts from 1988.91, composed of barely audible atmospheric
interludes. Moby signed to leading independent Mute Records
in 1993, and the following year released "Hymn",
a transcendental religious techno odyssey, distinguished by
a 35-minute ambient mix and a Laurent Garner remix. The track
was included on his eclectic major label debut, Everything
Is Wrong. His own remix catalogue includes Brian Eno, LFO
("Tan Ta Ra"), Pet Shop Boys, Erasure ("Chorus"),
Orbital ("Speed Freak"), Depeche Mode and even Michael
Jackson. He moved away from his dance base in 1996 with the
thrash rock of Animal Rights, and in turn sounded more like
Johnny Rotten.
His "James Bond Theme' debuted at UK number 8 in November
1997. The attendant I Like To Score was an uneasy experiment
in soundtrack work. Another change of style was apparent on
1999"s Play, a superb album on which several tracks were
based around sampled field recordings made by folklorist Alan
Lomax in the earlier part of the century. Play became a remarkable
sleeper hit, thanks in the main to the licensing of every
track on the album for use in advertisements. Moby repeated
the Play formula to lesser effect on 18. Artist's Web Links | Classic & Electronica Compilations :: Moby Compilation 1 CD: (4) DVD: (1) | Special Offers :: Moby
