Moby - Go - the very best of Moby Remixed albumCD / download - XCDMUTEL14




Go “ Remixed follows on from Go “ the very best of Moby, released in November 2006.
There's so much more to Moby than down-tempo ballads and ethereal torch songs.




Though his recent hit album 'Hotel' and the accompanying 'Hotel Ambient' collection showed his softer, more contemplative artistic side, Moby made his name in club-land in the early nineties with rave anthems like 'Feeling So Real' and 'Go', both of which are included in remixed and updated forms here.




It's not hard to see why so many dance producers have clamoured to work with him over the years. After the Twin Peaks-sampling 'Go' was a smash hit in England, Moby helped show the world that rave could made you shiver as much as it made you smile and shake. His first album for Mute, meanwhile, was 'Everything Is Wrong', a cornerstone of mid-nineties electronica that included the haunting rave anthems 'Hymn' and 'Every Time You Touch Me.'


Last autumn, Mute re-released 'Go' with a slew of new mixes, including the two by Trentemo¸ller and Vitalic that are included here. Also featured from his mid-nineties career are acid house re-rubs from CJ Bolland (whose mix of the James Bond Theme is an evil techno stomp) and a shamelessly upbeat Old Skool Moby remix of 'Feeling So Real'.




Featuring an exclusive unreleased remix of 'In My Heart' by Manhattan Clique, 'Go Remixed' also includes rare and recently unearthed classic mixes by Rollo and Sister Bliss, Armand Van Helden and Bob Sinclar.
The CD offers James Bond Theme (Moby's re-version) and Feeling So Real “ Old Skool mix while the download delivers We Are All Made Of Stars “ Bob Sinclair Main Vocal Mix and Escapar (Slipping Away “ Manhattan Clique edit).




There's never been a better time to 'Go'...
