2000 compilation album by Moby
MobySongs 1993–1998,[1] also known as Songs 1993–1998[2] or simply Mobysongs,[3] is a compilation album by American electronica musician Moby. It features selections from his work released in North America on the Elektra label, before his breakout 1999 release, Play.
David Browne of Entertainment Weekly recommended the compilation to listeners intrigued by Play, adding, "No blues or gospel samples here, but the same spiritual-techno vibe is evident in brilliant early singles like 'Go,' sighing-keyboard instrumentals, and a hefty share of genre-crossing cuts from 1995's everlasting Everything Is Wrong."[3] John Bush of AllMusic was complimentary of the material itself, which he felt showcased Moby's "continuing excellence in a number of genres", noting that the tracks from Everything Is Wrong and Animal Rights in particular "sound much better in this format, divorced from the rock flame-outs that often surrounded them on the original albums", but criticized the exclusion of his seminal earlier work and the lack of rarities.[4]
