Far too many people compare Moby's earlier recordings unfavourably with his material since Play, failing to realise that it's of a different time. Until the time of Leftfield with the awesome Leftism made dance music listenable for the masses, people didn't really buy dance albums in any numbers, especially to listen to at home. Accordingly, Moby's pre-Mute recordings suffer from being compiled on 'albums' by his previous label Instinct, done without his creative input and therefore lacking cohesion as a result. (The first 'real' Moby album is therefore 'Everything is Wrong'). Anyway, out of these early albums this one is probably my favourite, every song on the first disc being a bona-fide classic dance-floor track. I believe the mixes are far superior to those in 'Early Underground' and 'Moby', particularly 'Voodoo Child', 'Next is the E' and 'Have You Seen My Baby', which is really quite menacing. Oh yes, and 'Thousand' is great for winding up friends and family who don't like dance music! So, don't judge too harshly, I see Moby as an artist of different eras, which beleive me is no bad thing. Just sit back, turn them up and enjoy the tunes for what they are. The second disc, containing all the mixes of 'Go' up to that point in time, is really one for completists, as listening to the whole thing is rather hard going, but it's still worth dipping in and out of occasionally and makes this album better value for money.Read full review
