My copy is signed by moby on the cover, and he drew a small illustration. Pretty badass. Even though I was focused on acquiring more 'underground' records at the time, the nostalgic part of me picked this up on a whim for like twelve bucks.
I'm glad that worked out so well.
Moby helped nurture my love for electronic music, as he did for millions of suburban white kids.
And this was basically the last Moby album I paid any attention to, consequent releases going further off the pop end. -
OK, this album became famous for songs such as "Bodyrock," "Natural Blues," "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad," among others, but for me the "secret" of "Play" is on the "D" vinyl: 4 simple songs that complement each other, and somehow become one. For me, Moby has proved an extremely sensitive and versatile artist. Recommended.
