Following one of the most licensed CDs in history, 18 delivers more of the gospel samples and spiritual exploration that made Play Moby's breakthrough album. But keep your expectations in check. On 18 there is barely a body-rocker in the bunch. This is often a somber, melancholy disc, blanketed in the washed-over cinematic orchestral melodies Moby's been fond of since his classic self-titled debut. It requires several listenings before the gems shine through the ambient fog--and most depart from Play entirely. On the deceptively minimalist opening track, Moby delivers a powerful message through his thin little voice. "We are all made of stars," he sings, and indeed he's believable. MC Lyte punches out an infectious rap over old-school beat-box rhythms on "Jam for the Ladies," offering one of the disc's few roof-raisers. "At Least We Tried" is a tear-jerking swan song of the highest order, and, finally, "The Rafters" resurrects early-`90s house piano, which will make any of Moby's career-long fans pine for his earliest club hits. The diminutive DJ needn't have produced Play Pt. Two to keep his new fans engaged. Fortunately, his greatest talent for cooking up interesting sounds is still audible; you just need the patience to find it. --Beth Massa

What a beautiful CD with so many beautiful melodies... An amazing CD to be owned by anyone next to Schiller, Markus Shultz and other geniuses out there... Very, very different CD, but what a joy to listen to every single track... MOBY at his best... Simply Bravo.

I remember seeing Moby back in the early 90s at a club in Chicago. This was during his "rave" days and the entire show was pretty much a bunch of repetitive beats and loops. Great for dancing, but not much more than that.
If you would have asked me then about what would happen to him, I would have thought he would just disappear, along with the other "rave" artists who have done just that. Instead, he evolved and started working on songs with a more solid structure, which could be ... Read More

For the most part, I enjoy Moby's work but I especially like Extreme Ways which is the ending credits theme for the Bourne movies. And for the price of two bucks, I would be a fool to pass it up.

I heard one of the tracks from Moby's "18" being played during an episode of "Without a Trace". I had never heard of him before, but did some research and have made a wonderful discovery. I love his music! The whole CD is eerily beautiful. Can't get enough of it!

Another great mix of old soul, ambient, and dance music from Moby. It's a great combination. The ambient provides the spiritual tone; the dance provides the energy; and the old soul provides the added depth. And he's the best in the world at it. It works because you can tell he respects each sound he's using, and not just using it to prove he can, or fit a certain popular sound.
Moby must have a great soul. You can feel it in his music. Very spiritual and life driven. And that shines ... Read More
