Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0724596938324 Label: Mute Manufacturer: Mute MPN: 69383 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Mute Release Date: April 01, 2008 Studio: Mute Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk: After three albums that seemed to find Moby in some sort of creative stasis, Last Night sees the once-restless DJ/producer changing the record and returning to one of his first loves: the heaving dancefloors of his native New York. Soulful, uplifting piano rave is the order of the day here, and while some hallmarks of Play remain--Moby still has a fascination for long, tearful synth lines and sampled vocals, which he drops in here and there, seemingly to yield the maximum emotional response--Last Night still feels like a clean slate. "I Like to Move in Here" shimmies along on a languid house beat that doffs a cap to early hip-hop in the shape of a cameo from MC Grandmaster Caz, one of the writers of "Rapper's Delight", while "Everyday It's 1989" is the sort of overdriven, ecstatic piano house that Moby perfected on his 1995 classic Everything Is Wrong. There's more guest spots in the shape of British MC Aynzli, the Nigerian 419 Squad and Sylvia from dark NYC disco band Kudu, but the most impressive thing about Last Night is the peaks that Moby can reach when he's working alone: see the grand, emotive swell of "Sweet Apocalypse", cold synths and driving beats that, were it released by James Murphy, would be hailed as genius--and rightfully, too.--Louis Pattison Album Description: Last Night - the fifteen track album was recorded in Moby's home studio in Manhattan NY and mixed by Dan Grech - Maguerat who has also worked with Radiohead and the Scissor Sisters. The new album features guest vocalists and includes the original 70's MC Grandmaster Caz one of the writers of Rappers Delight, Sylvia from Kudu, the UK's MC Aynzli and S.O. Simple and Smokey from the Nigerian 419 Squad. EMI. 2008. Average Rating:
 Rating: - GOOD 2 HEAR THA RETURN 2 THA ROOTZ!Did not even know a new Moby was coming out. He should switch it up more often. i was impressed with this offering. Plenty of underground dance goodness. N-joy! Rating:  - Okay but nothing to write home aboutLAST NIGHT is the first Moby album which left me leaving me bored and unimpressed. I knew that this album would be more dance orientated than its predecessors, and I liked his earlier albums pre-PLAY. Unfortunately I am not like most people here who enjoyed LAST NIGHT. There were some songs that I did like on the cd, like the catchy electro-pop "Ooh Yeah" with its chirpy female vocals and percolating dance beats. The dance-friendly grooves of "257.zero" is another song that I like. "Live For Tomorrow" ...

There are even revists to older Moby styles....like "Everyday it's 1989" which reminds me alot of his eighties classic dance hit "Next is the E". I get more of a 1978-1980 feel on some of the songs. Some of that feel is intentionally late years Disco. But there other influences on here too. It's goofy, but "OOH YEAH" sounds more to me like an early Cars song. And ...

I love Moby since I was 14 when I bought "Play", I have all the other albums and "18" was always my personal favorite, until now. I can say that "Last Night" is even better than all the other albums because it takes the best of each one, feels like if you are listening to a "best of" compilation. This album don't have the same effect on you if you listen to it at night or day, but in both cases it is a great experience, althought I think this fits better for ... Read More Rating: - Enjoyable, But No "Hotel"I bought this album two or three weeks after it came out, and wrote a review of it then, but I'm only now getting around to posting it. Odd how the two years and ten months that separated "18" and "Hotel" seemed so much longer to me than the three years that separated "Hotel" and "Last Night." "Play" is good, "18" is almost excellent, and "Hotel" is probably one of the twenty most perfect albums ever put out by anyone in any genre. Each is almost completely different from its predecessor, and I suppose "Last ... Read More |
