Re: Moby - Last Night
Bought this on saturday and have spun it several times... it's a grower. Not as good as EIW, but so much more enjoyable than Hotel and 18, and dare i say, half of Play. I'd give it 6.5/10.

Best cuts: "Disco Lies" - impossibly catchy chorus's been stuck in my head. "Stars" - analog synth and rave-piano goodness. "Sweet Apocalypse" - basic Moby-esque instrumental, but warmer than most from the past few albums. Oh, and "Alice" is okay, not so much into the vocal, but the bassline is fun

Not too crazy about the number of diva vocals, or the crowd samples, which are always weirdly truncated. Though he gets the hi-hats and piano back out there, Moby can't fight his ambient ways, so the last four cuts are still pretty mellow.
