I&#8217;m going to<br \/>\nopen up my personal collection of albums and review those that<br \/>\nsort-of stand out by their presence. It has nothing to do with<br \/>\ntheir quality, but that they&#8217;re departures from the albums I<br \/>\nregularly purchase. Here we go.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone who doesn&#8217;t know, Moby is one of the most respected<br \/>\nand demanded techno\/electronica makers and producers around. There<br \/>\nwas even a rumour running last year that he was going to work with<br \/>\nAxl Rose on his new album. The guy is in demand.<\/p>\n<p>Among his many works, he has done several songs for movie<br \/>\nsoundtracks. This album,<br \/>\n<i>I Like To Score<\/i>, features songs that he has done for movies<br \/>\nlike &#8220;The Saint,&#8221; &#8220;Tomorrow Never Dies&#8221; and &#8220;Scream.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The album starts with &#8220;Novio&#8221; &#8211; from the movie &#8220;Double Tap.&#8221; A<br \/>\nsoft, quiet, piano piece, it serves as not only a backdrop, but it<br \/>\nalso is one of the more quieter pieces of the album. Next comes his<br \/>\nre-make of the classic &#8220;James Bond Theme&#8221; which he did for the<br \/>\nsoundtrack to &#8220;Tomorrow Never Dies.&#8221; (It never appears in the movie<br \/>\nthough.) If you have heard the soundtrack&#8217;s version, you will<br \/>\nnotice that this one is a little different &#8211; certain pieces are<br \/>\nswitched&#8211;but don&#8217;t worry. The piece is still, as the kids say,<br \/>\n&#8220;cool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other highlights include his remake of Joy Division&#8217;s &#8220;New Dawn<br \/>\nFades&#8221; &#8211; a driving tune &#8211; the original &#8220;Go&#8221; and the ultra-technoish<br \/>\n&#8220;Oil 1&#8221; &#8211; which, though repetitive, is exactly the kind of music<br \/>\nMoby makes. As for any down points, there&#8217;s &#8220;Ah-Ah&#8221; from &#8220;Cool<br \/>\nWorld.&#8221; The other big problem is that some of the songs, though<br \/>\ninteresting, don&#8217;t stick in your mind.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the entire album, Moby mixes in subtle changes, loud<br \/>\nbarrages of drums and screeching guitars. He wields all of the<br \/>\ndifferent music styles rather well. Though he won&#8217;t make you<br \/>\nremember his solos, you will like the way he moves the<br \/>\ninstruments.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the album is good. If you like techno, you probably<br \/>\nhave this album or will get it soon. To those that don&#8217;t, well,<br \/>\ngive it a listen. Sometimes you can forget some of its bad<br \/>\naspects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":27664,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[6934],"rating":[5614],"class_list":["post-39039","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-moby","rating-rating-c-plus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/39039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39039"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/39039\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39039"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=39039"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=39039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
