Go The Very Best Of Moby

Bit of overlap, but essential for the documentary.......2007-01-12

I bought the '18' DVD almost on a whim, it being cheap in a sale, and was simply blown away. I've since gotten Moby's other DVD's, 'Play the DVD' and 'Moby Live - The Hotel Tour', which are also both excellent.
It was the live material that initally got me hooked, especially the amazing Glastonbury set on 18, so I started to look further, discovered his quirky videos, remixes and wealth of bonus features and generally had a greater appreciation of the man. I've been into Moby's music since the early 90's, but didn't have any idea what he was like visually as an artist, or even in person.

When this DVD came out, I noticed a lot of emphasis on the videos, many of which are duplicated on the above-mentioned DVD releases, so it didn't seem such good value. This is fair enough, it being a 'best of' compilation and the rare pre-Play videos and track with Public Enemy make it more enticing, together with some alternate versions of later films. Indeed, the tracklisting is what should be on the CD, which could and should have been a double to do the project's title justice.

Anyway, my advice is to make sure you get the 2 disc DVD, as the second disc contains a fascinating 90 minute documentary, which is basically 'the life and times of Moby' and very interesting stuff indeed. It's much more personal than most documentaries and follows Moby around Conneticut, New York, France and South America, talking about his life, early years and subsequent success. Interviews with family, friends, record label bosses, etc. all add to this and I could have easily watched another hour's worth, which is high praise indeed!
So to sum up, worth getting for the documentary especially, or if you haven't got the other Moby DVD's, for the video's too, which are always interesting. But if you're a fan and haven't got these, or seen him live, then I'd also recommend '18' for the Glastonbury set or 'The Hotel Tour'.
