I really dig the blue & red winner's remixes 12" though. anybody have that one? Is it hard to come by these days? I also did a Yello remix (I can't remember the name of the song) for the magazine Future Music around the same time. didn't win anything for that either but had fun doing it. some of the stuph sounds real cheep, like he took a >casio and recorded the flute sound off it. but its kinda fun in that >way. You've hit the mark, Paul. S. I have a Casio CZ-101 (cheezy case--some cool programmable sounds though...kind of like Novation's 'Basstation') and on the track 'House of Blue Leaves' Moby uses this keyboard quite extensively (the organ and xylophone sound, etc.) It might be a CZ-1000 (same exact synth but in a full sized case--not a child's case...) but either way... RE: Thanks II CD's are limited to around 74 min. right? So, if 10 people are contributing that's 7.4 min. each. I'm doing the track 'Heaven' which clocks in, around 8 min. (I don't remember exactly) but a considerable length of time. I've shortened my version to around 5 minutes. Something I haven't heard this list discuss is the issue of a time constraint for Thanks II. We have some people doing two songs. IMO, if we run out of time, one of their songs should be bumped. I don't mean to sound nasty about it but I think it'd be fair for everyone who wants to contribute to be able to contribute even if it involves compromise on each person's part. Somehow I can envision some 'ambient' musicians stretching a Moby track 10-12 min. also...Thanks II seems to be quite a 'male' project. any female musicians around here? - --A ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 21:45:17 +0000 (GMT) From: Tim Beecher Subject: Re: (mobility) Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 02:01:26 -0500 On Sat, 30 Jan 1999 00:00:49 -0700 4 Wilsons <4wilsons@shaw.wave.ca> wrote: > > > Question- If you are considered vegetarian because you don't eat meat, > then what is vegetarian footwear.. if you don't plan to eat it? > Good question and I've always wondered, but that's what some call them and I picked up the term - brainless sheep?

However, it was a pointless exercise in the end. Yes, it's annoying. All stopped now - peace. At least it's been relatively peaceful lately (a few blips), but it's being ironed out and more people are more Moby/techno conscious in their discussions - so maybe we'll reach a balance and everyone will be relatively happy and the list will be great once again?

Moby frequently trades mixes with other artists, and that's what he did with Jam & Spoon. The two mixes he did for J&S were for the song Stella. The Barracuda mix and and the Electro mix are their names. The CD single has a very pretty cover with computer generated flowers, blue skies, and monarch butterflies. I found it at my local Tower, in an unsorted pile of imports. It's a release from Belgium, R&S records RS 9203 CD. The Barracuda mix is the same trancey house as Drug Fits The Face, with more conventional elements. (DFTF has the strange vocal sample that works bizrrely well with an operatic organ in the background) It's got some nice floaty piano riffs, some quiet dubby bongos, and steady high symbols on every beat. Samples include some triggered "breakdown"s, some breathy female "hold me/love me"s and the ending of the song is the beginning of the Electro mix. The Electro mix is also very trancey and relaxed, but it's got a more progressive feel. It builds and releases energy. All the elements are very comfortable with each other, sounds weaving together gracefully. It reminds me of a BT song, sort of, except the sounds are more natural sounding and less digital sounding, but kind of spirally in the way the sounds come and go in different combos, like BT. These songs would go over equally well at a club or a rave, I think. Thoughts or contrary opinions, anybody? Moby provided a Voodoo Child song called Frog for a compilation benefit for the School of Sound, an organization that researches the use of sound & music as medicine. The song is along the lines of the End Of Everything songs, not like the songs Voodoo Child, Higher, & Desperate. Frog has quiet pianos tinkling over peaceful ambient waves, and everything builds very, very slowly like the EOE songs. Some echoing drums compliment the arrangement, and the song is nice, but nothing spectacular. It doesn't go anywhere, it just floats by, and comes apart almost as slowly as it comes together. It clocks in at 7:09. Don't go chasing after this one just for the Moby song, though. If you like minimal, ambient textures, almost meditation music, go for it. It is a cheap $12 including shipping. There's a link in the moby.org links directory if you want to order it from Bubblecore records. Next time I'll write about Moby's mix of Grave Ride for John Lydon and the mixes Moby did for Fortran 5's Only Time Will Tell. Or some other remixes Moby's done, whichever strikes me when the time comes. That's just what comes to mind at the moment. - -Steve ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 16:31:12 PST From: "Daniel Lee" Subject: Re: (mobility) survey surveysurveysurveysurveysurveysurveysurveysurv ey survey >1) Do you like Moby?

And I can safely say that Porcelain has definite potential for upper-tier Moby song status (in my opinion). It's so different, yet so stylistically Moby. So groovy, yet so achingly touching. It's simply a beautiful song. As for this whole Honey argument, the Honey single has been one of my faves since I got it. I don't think the song is trite or merely catchy. It's awesome. Micronesia is mindblowingly good, and Memory Gospel can only be described as holy. Once in while, the man touches god. peace, dan lee ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 16:42:27 -0800 (PST) From: BRIAN HOVEY Subject: Re: (mobility) breath of fresh air Well I thought that I should share this info to all, from an interview from Jan. Moby says that he needs to try on new styles to grow as a musician. Seamless but busy. Rivaling rap producer/artist Puff Daddy as the most prolific musician of the year, Moby released three albums in one year: Animal Rights, side project Voodoo Child's The End of Everything, I Like to Score, a compilation of movie-soundtrack contributions from such films as "Scream" and "The Saint". And while the I like to score album has gotten perhaps the most critical attention, Moby said he is most fond of the Voodoo Child record. "It is far and away one of the nicest albums that ive made", he said."In the last year Ive sone so many outside projects, so many remixes, film stuff, that now I want to just make my own next record. I have a moratorium on doing out side work". Hving covered almost everything from techo to punk to cheesy '70's songs, Moby didnt want to talk about specifics of his next record, except to say that trying on different styles is essential to his growth as a musician. "Depending on the song, its almost like meathod acting, to the extent where if Im working on a quiet piece of music, it brings out the more reflective side of me, and if im working on a nasty punk song, it brings out the more visceral side of me" Of his different musical personalities and how they relateto the way he writes music, Moby added, " I give then free rein. I indulge then to the point where they become extreme musically. And also just the way I live. I think that that confuses alot of people like how is it possiable to be on one hand a thoughtful vegan, animal-rights activist, reflective essayist and, on the other hand, like pornography and occasionally find my self at seven in the morning drunk out of my mind??????" "Its nice to be able to express yourself in so many ways", he said. Well I thougt that I would give this to everyone who has had questions about the man.
