It's easy to dismiss the music of this cute, vegan, bare-pated relative of Herman Melville, especially if you don't actually listen to the music and focus instead on his ultra-PC interview style or the manner in which he sold dozens of songs to commercials and film soundtracks back in Y2K. But to do so is to knee-jerkedly miss out on some very fine and innovative music by one of the most influential musicians of the last decade. With the exception of two tracks (one of them the title tune), Go is a best-of from the years that Moby's been on the V2 label, from 1999's breakthrough hit Play onward. But Play--with its uncanny reworking of field recordings with playful beats and ambient textures--remains the artist's finest moment. A full disc of remixes and a smattering of unreleased songs (including a rad new number with Debbie Harry on guest vocals) make this an essential purchase for rabid fans. And, as a judicious selection of Play-era material is included alongside the finest songs from Moby's subsequent albums, 18 and Hotel, this is also the perfect entry point for the more casual fan. --Mike McGonigal

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Best, October 27, 2006

By	JBizzle "Da Fizzle Shizzle, Dizzle" (Under A Rock) - See all my reviews

This is a great collection showcasing some of the high points of Moby's career. All the greatest hits from rescent years including "Porcelain", "South Side", & "Go". The real cool part of this collection is the additional remix disc. Included are remix's from some of dance music's top talent such as "Mylo", "Tiesto", "Oakenfold", & "Corsten" to only name a few. You'll already have most of these if like me you've already bought his singles, but it's still nice having all these on one disc. The only gripe I have & it's a small gripe is the lack of "Hybrid" remixs on disc 2. Again, not a huge issue & definately not a deal breaker, but it woulda' been nice seeings as Hybrid's mix's of both "Southside" & "Bodyrock" blow "Basoski" & "Heller"'s mix's outta the water. All in all this collection honors Moby well. It may not have everything, but still a great jumping on point for casual listeners & anyone wanting to jump into the world of Moby.

4.0 out of 5 stars The mostly best of., November 27, 2006

By	H3@+h (VT) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is actually a good collection of Moby, though mostly of his work from "Play" and afterwards. Of course there's still a few flaws. It's only 61 minutes, should be a good 70. There's alot from his huge album "Play", but it's still missing "Bodyrock". It IS on the remix disc, but is nearly a different song. Also from "Play" is "South Side", but it is NOT the superior version with Gwen Stefani. Why not? Who knows. However, the new track "New York, New York" with Debbie Harry is good, and we get other big hits such as "We Are All Made Of Stars" and "Beautiful". Plus a new mix of "Go" and a live "Feeling So Real". The remix disc is a bonus for fanatics. Others might not care so much. This collection would go well with "Mobysongs 93-98". Still does the job alone though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mix CD is Great, December 28, 2006

By	wildcatgoal (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

The remix CD is fun to listen to. It reminds me a lot of how I figure Paul Oakenfold would remix Moby's music. It's very trance techno and there are a few tracks on there that get you shakin' your b**t in the car seat a bit. The best-of CD is basically all of Moby's best songs. You can't make that CD any better unless you somehow improve Moby's original songs. Good work.
