Editorial Review:
Throughout his ponderous career, Richard M. Hall (a.k.a. Moby) has mutated from skinny techno antistar to vegan Christian crusader to guitar-wielding punk and back again, picking up new fans (and new detractors) along the way. Although his brand of pop music has fallen out of favor with the techno cognoscenti, you can't ignore Moby's role in bringing the European variation on techno to American shores, transforming it from the mainstay of hip clubbers into the soundtrack of suburban teenagers. And for what it was, the music wasn't bad either. This eponymous album, released way back in 1992, collects the better musical moments from his early days on the Instinct label, including memorable tracks such as the frenetic "Drop a Beat" and the serene, Twin Peaks-sampling "Go." For neophyte techno listeners seeking some historical perspective or aging ravers looking to relive their salad days, this album is a must-have. --Matthew Corwine

Rating:  - Where it all began...
For those who only discovered Moby in the past few years, due to the phenomenal success of "Play" and the media expuse he's gotten since, it might come as a surprise that Moby used to make honest-to-goodness dancefloor-ready techno! This record chronicles his early 90's sound and is worth obtaining simply for his first hit, the classic "Go", still heard at clubs today! The album is a mesmerizing blend of beats and hooks, and is guaranteed to get you moving or driving fast! "Next is the E" was ... Read More
Rating:  - by far one of moby's worst.
i am a moby collector, and i have 25 cds and records, and this is the one i put in once and never listened to again. if you want some of moby's early music, buy early underground. it's a collection of tracks released on singles and remix singles. it's a much better collection. it's easy to see why only two of these songs were released as singles. it's absolutely nerve-wracking. it sounds like a boiler room exploding from the beginning to the end. the only two songs that are halfway decent on here ...

Rating: - Moby's Debut CD: The Anti-Aspirin
The first Moby album I ever purchased was Play, and I found it incredible. I then bought 18, Animal Rights, and Everything Is Wrong, and liked them all. So when I popped Moby's debut album into my CD player, I was shocked.
Moby's later work defies and rises above traditional techno, to create beautiful, sometimes soothing, sometimes energizing music. This CD, on the other hand, sounds like your worst nightmare out of the 80's. It's nothing but endless repetitive electronic beats paired with annoying ... Read More
Rating: - GO!
This was Moby's FIRST Cd and it's very diffrent from the radio friendly "play" and "18" but still very pleasant. This album is more of a rave/house album then the elecro-pop he later made. "Go" and "Drop a beat" became big Euro hits and Moby became a big name on the charts already in 91-92. It's a great album, most are obviosly instrumental with fast beats and catchy addictive melodies, Dancable like few other Moby albums. Songs like "Yeah" and "Next ... Read More
Rating:  - Drop a beat
I didn't get into Moby's music until his 1999 breakthrough smash "Play". That was a pop cultural phenomenon for techno music to make the crossover into pop music back then. Since "Play", I had been a fan of Moby's. Since then I have bought his last album "18" as well as his earlier albums like "Everything is Wrong", "I Like to Score" and his self-titled album. Unlike "Play" and "18", "Moby" is pure techno music. There isn't any ... Read More
