his new album, ‘hotel’, certainly continues in moby’s tradition of making beautifully eclectic records. it runs the gamut from quiet instrumentals (‘hotel intro’, ‘homeward angel’) to big-chorus stadium anthems (‘spiders’, ‘lift me up’) to straight-forward electro-disco (‘very’) to ballads (‘anyone but you’, ‘forever’), to new-wave (‘where you end’), and everything in between. moby has, as always, played every instrument on the cd (except for the live drums…his friend scott fassetto did that…) and done all of the production. moby also sings on almost every song, although he is joined on a few songs by his friend laura dawn, who is the creative events director for moveon.org.
to complete the idiosyncratic diversity of this package, ‘hotel’ is accompanied by ‘hotel-ambient’,a beautiful and atmospheric collection of instrumentals that will relax even the most neurotic insomniac. oh, one last thing,whereas moby’s past records have relied heavily on samples, this record is actually completely sample-free.
