A bit more experimental compared to the main album's 18 tracks, The Play B-Sides jump all over the place without much thought, not that any thought was expected considering they are B-Sides. "Memory Gospel" with its massive synth strings and subtle vocalizations is a early highlight, while Sunspot sounds like a lost Spyro the Dragon level with its groovy Rhode lead and rhythmic bass. There are weak moments though, with "Flower" being one of the earliest examples. Feeling less like a new idea and more of a alternate universe "Honey" from the main album but without the bite. Those wanting more Play era Moby should be pleasantly surprised regardless of its imperfections.
