Comments

This release comprises of two disks, the first titled "Rare" being a collection of (mostly) remixes of very, very early Moby material. Most of this slots into the categories of electronic and/or dance, and hails from his first three albums or from the material he recorded under various different names. Like Moby this is quite good, but vastly different to his current output. Time's Up is my favourite "new" track, very groovy.

The bonus album is "Go: The Collected Mixes". I thought 14 remixes of the same song might be a bit much, but the remixes are sufficiently different to not become monotonous. That said, this could probably only really work as a bonus album...
