Hymn or ho-hum?

Starts out like an interesting intro to a Philip Glass tune and then, in typical Moby fashion, goes absolutely nowhere.

Yeah! he only had to use one finger and we'd be spared his ass-hattery

I enjoyed it. A great segue would be Rene Aubry,  Le Grande Cascade.

This would be good but that synth woodwind musical phrase sounds like a stuck record.




Laughs out loud. Kinda of oily even for Moby.

This would be good but that synth woodwind musical phrase sounds like a stuck record.  Over and over.
 
There was some other song where in comments somebody talked about Moby's music picking up a theme and not going anywhere with it, this seems to be one of them.

What happens when Moby listens to too much Philip Glass




This really has nothing to do with Philip Glass! This is just Kitsch

I came to comment because of the passing of Vangelis this week, then realized this is Moby. Def sampled off some early 1970s Vangelis though. Its cheesy now, but it was enough in the 70s to get me hooked on Electronic music.

It's not even a finger practice. It's a programmed synth piano. I mean, he can hardly even play the guitar.

Wait. Moby's middle name is Melville?

Based on the reactions to animated GIFs on RP it seems 15-20% of people hate them.


Interesting too, the ratings between 1 & 5 total 19% of votes for this tune.  Maybe the folks who don't like the music also don't like the GIFs.  
I'm still at a 7 on this one, nice ambience; LLRP

Just Awful... Not sure how anyone could take pleasure in listening to this studio tripe... Leave it in your head Moby... {#Wall}

Should really lead into Feeling So Real as the two tracks are really meant to be together, but a classic in its own right.

"Hey now" from London Grammar.... and then... THIS!!!!
Moby sucks at extreme level, but even lower than his fans do.

Well, and on the Everything Is Wrong album, this song is immediately followed by "Feeling So Real". A really excellent transition. {#Hearteyes}
Unfortunately, not here in the radio playlist. Hymn ends and... nothing. :-(

Really are you comparing this guy to the great Oldfield? How many Oldfield's albums did you listen? Haven't sense, totally different music and styles.

Even the cover of the album is reminiscent of the Jarre album I wore out eons ago.

My heart leapt: "Jean Michel Jarre!"  OK, maybe I should check out this Moby guy.

Cooool. I missed this the first time around. I didn't catch Moby until the later stuff!

I like it as a musical snippet, not sure how it holds up as a "song", but I do enjoy the progressions.

I think it's Glenn Gould but I don't know who Ultravox is. They probably sampled Glenn Gould too.

I like this a lot. I'm proud to be the only one to give it an "8". I'm not all that familiar with Moby's music,It's on my musical to-do list, but if this cut a fair example to his work, I'm sure I won't regret the purchase.
