Went into this not sure what to expect, and came out with a bad taste in my mouth. Not only is the album incredibly long, the loops go on way too long before Moby adds layers. Finally I understand the allegation that trip-hop is elevator music, and this album seemed to fit that pretty well. It was simply did not impress me in any way, almost offensive in its mediocrity.

A tremendous amount of fun. One of those albums that turns sampling into its own art form.

Why does this thing sound so fresh still? And at nearly an hour and 18 tracks it does not feel overlong? Impressive as hell.

There's a sense of comforting familiarity that makes itself known almost immediately when Play begins. Sampling famous delta blues songs and fashioning them into breakbeat and downtempo is but one aspect of the greater formula Moby puts to use here; things that are not necessarily original on their own come together and are arranged in a way that make them seem fresh and familiar simultaneously. It's a landmark record for contemporary electronic music for a lot of reasons, but one of the biggest is that it turned an underground sensation more based in acid techno than anything in his early days into a bonafide pop star, if only for a short time, which had rarely, if ever, happened beforehand. There are highlights spread across the map here, and while a couple of duds pop up here and there thanks to some shoddy sampling work, most of the sampling and songwriting is very good. It's not the most sophisticated work of electronic music out there, but it is a classic in the genre for a reason.

Making electronic music accessible and appealing for the masses, when all that was on offer to many Americans was cheesy watered down trance. Superb production throughout, which incorporates many styles from Ambient to Big Beat to Techno to Rock. Excellent vocals too, but even without them, the album would still be just as greatrHighlights: rHoney, Poreclain, Bodyrock, South Side, Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?
