I think this album got a lot of play when it was first released. But you don't meet many self-proclaimed Moby fans nowadays. Actually, you don't meet many people in general.

Ongoing apocalypse aside, this was actually a pretty decent album. I know I have complained loudly and often about electronica music, but this is much more coherent than normal electronica. For one thing, the tracks aren't 12 minutes long. For another, the songs clearly build up to something. It's not just endless loops designed to pad the runtime for god knows what reason.

Still not the most engaging style of music, but more enjoyable than your average electronica album.

RATING: 4/5
