Comments

Moby's first album (He still has hair on the cover!) is totally overtly electronic dance music. Most of the sounds he uses here sound like they came from a mid-80s home computer like the Commodore 64 - bits of "Electricity" sound like the soundtrack from the original DOOM. The version of "Go" differs substantially from the later version on Songs...

Overall, this sounds very Kraftwerk, but with more of a leaning towards dance beats. Scattered about are slower more ambient (though still very electronic-sounding) tracks such as "Mercy" and "Stream".
