Play 's concoction of breakbeat rhythms, ambient mixology, and inspired blues and gospel samples cry out across musical genres and histories, imparting a time-tested wisdom to beat-driven ears. Moby's devout faith--in both God and his own musical whims--give this approach a sort of legitimacy that another, less sincere artist would never have. That sincerity reverberates through the beats and instrumental eclecticism like a pulse. The soulful refrains and proclamations in "Find My Baby" and "Natural Blues" somehow nestle between straight-up dance-floor rave-ups ("Bodyrock") and melt-in-your-mouth ambience ("Inside") with an effortless grace. Moby reaches across his turntables and finds something pure--almost organic. In fact, the album feels more natural than techno is ever supposed to feel, more spiritual than what DJs are supposed to be able to muster, and more alive than it has any right to be. --Matthew Cooke Moby ~ Play Review: Still holds up after all this time - If I had the time, and space, I could write a term paper about this seminal, remarkable album from one of the world's great musical artists, Moby. But that would probably bore readers (and me) to death. What I will say is that Play almost single-handedly changed my musical life. In a sense. It was the late 90s / early aughts and I was just waking up to a new generation of musical artists like Radiohead, Moby, The Chemical Brothers and learning about how electronic music and digital technology was transforming music in ways we are still trying to understand. I had heard Moby on the also seminal soundtrack to the film, The Saint and was kind of blown away. I decided to buy a CD and, after acquiring the cheekily-titled I like to Score I bought Play. Wow. Just Wow. Moby was using samples, combined with his own original compositions to create completely new songs, but he also was a pretty good bespoke song writer. Play weaves a marvelous musical tapestry, with a variety of existing, usually obscure source material -- such as a virtually unknown song by Southern Gospel group BIll Landford and the Landfordaires (Run On) – to which he adds own musical enhancement, sometimes beats, sometimes background chords, sometimes melody to create something completely new. The opening track, Honey, sets the tone with its combination of a “call and response” type of African American tune with a fierce drum track, and Moby’s trademark muscular piano. Then he effortlessly weaves in, a few tracks later, the achingly beautiful Porcelein, which has become a Moby standard and one of his most beloved songs. Here, he inverts the formula, and most of the song is his music and lyrics, with a sampled backround vocal of a man singing “woman”. Again, wow. I could go on, but if you like Electronica, you like great music, drum, piano, guitar, great song-writing, and can stomach sampling done in a way that you probably have never heard before, Play is for you. In some ways this is the album that really put Moby on the map. And oh, what a country the elfin, balding musical geek is. Thank God Moby exists in our world. Review: Legendary Album - This was, arguably, one of the last truly great albums of the last millennium. Okay, so in 2026, this album has been licensed and played to death in movies and TV shows, so it's easy to forget just how massive and groundbreaking this album was upon release. It broke records for "dance" albums and DJ artist albums and Moby was one of the few electronic artists, along with Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, and Chemical Brothers to break into the mainstream on American radio at that time. From start to finish, the album is a solid and reliable sonic experience, although, as I mentioned before, the songs have enjoyed such extensive licensing that all the familiar hits such as Bodyrock and Southside, for example, will instantly be familiar. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00000J6AG | | Best Sellers Rank | #20,794 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #8 in Trance (CDs & Vinyl) #18 in Techno (CDs & Vinyl) #42 in Ambient (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,603) | | Date First Available | December 12, 2006 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | MFR638812704924#VG | | Label | V2 Records | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | V2 Records | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 5.5 x 4.94 x 0.45 inches; 3.57 ounces | ## Images ![Play - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qp2YJGW9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still holds up after all this time *by E***N on September 20, 2019* If I had the time, and space, I could write a term paper about this seminal, remarkable album from one of the world's great musical artists, Moby.
