Same here. I passed on _Animal Rights_, but I am very familiar with the
catalog of Moby.

It's his best work... if you need an enema, your instant response is of
course "that's not saying much". But then, anything danceable or
semi-popular is crap, right? My favorite track is actually "Porcelain",
which as far as I can tell, doesn't even sample Lomax.
Oh yeah, and I like Fatboy Slim too. That and good taste are *NOT*
mutually exclusive. And I dare say he's not exactly in the poorest taste
either. But then, he is danceable and (now) semi-popular. I remember when
Skint had just started and some white kid in Texas was trying to figure
out just who the fuck this guy was who did "The Weekend Starts Here". And
then why it was pressed at 33rpm. Gack.

Not true, there's also "Underwater", "Alive", and "The Rain Falls and the
Sky Shudders". That's just on the ambient soundscape tip... I like a big
cross section of his work, even the guitar stuff.

When you're an artist, I think that's how you know you're right. Although
then I wonder about Creed and Days of the New and Limp Bizkit. Yuck.
