saw him live in Philly about a month ago - that was my reaction. 90% of the show was rock. some of his "old" choons were badly mutilated into rock-pieces and after that "Natural blues" was turned into proverbial - unnatural blues. Imagine Natural blues slowed down to like 60BPM, mostly vocal piece.
...but the most disturbing thing was - the lead singer (lady) was preggers and visibly so! (like in her 6 or 7 months). I dunno - the whole show had a very weird feel to it. Place was full of 40-something (or 50-something) couples and I just felt suffocated. I left very disapointed and lost any remaining hope for Moby.
I became a huge fan after seeing him spin at the Ultraworld rave in 1999 in DC and Ferry Corsten's remix of "Why does my heart". After I saw him play live at Area:1 - I became a hard-core Moby addict and even bought a synth. Area:2 was great too, but not as good. Then, "18" came out and I was barely at my last drop of patience - waiting for something to happen. Then, I bought "Vodo Child - Baby Monkey" CD (which is one one of Moby's "EDM" side projects) and hooooly crap!!!! that was a double-eject material! (eject once from CD Player, eject for the second time from the car window).
THE ALBUM IS UNLISTENABLE! I can't believe I paid $18 for that rubbish!
So, with a fainting glimpse of hope I ventured to see Moby at a concert - and nailed the final nail in the coffin of my days of being a Moby fan. It was a good run while it lasted but looks like Moby first decided to totally dismiss his EDM fan, closed the club and turned back to his punk/vegan rock roots.
Sigh...
