Eclectic Moby

Would you describe this album as a classic Moby album?
Yes. The idea for the album was my neighborhood in New York, which has so many bars and so many clubs. I go out quite a lot. I wanted to try to recreate musically what it is like to go out in Lower Manhattan. I wanted to take the eight hours of a night out and condense it in 65 minutes. I was not worrying too much about trying to sound avant-garde or experimental. I just wanted to make a dance record that I enjoy listening to. Musically, New York is a very eclectic place, so I wanted that eclecticism to enter the record as well.
