MOBY - WAIT FOR ME (LP)

Moby Wait For Me on Vinyl LP! 

While listening to filmmaker David Lynch speak at the BAFTA Awards in February of '08, Moby had an epiphany. Lynch's message, "creativity for its own sake is a beautiful, wonderful thing," was a simple one, but it hit Moby hard. "At that moment, I decided to just make records that were more personal," explains Moby, "maybe mroe experimental, and a little more challenging, maybe not as easy to like, but things that I found to be artistically and creatively more satisfying. That was the idea behind making the new album."

The album resulting from this epiphany, Wait For Me, is a radical departure from Moby's recent albums; last year's paean to the dance floor, Last Night; 2008's flirtation with modern rock, Hotel; the shimmering ambience of 2002's 18; and the zeitgeist-defining melancholy electronica of 1999's Play. Liberated from the pressures of trying to please himself at the same time as the industry, in making Wait For Me, Moby decided to forego the expensive studios, state-of-the-art equipment, big name quest artists, and phalanxes of graphic designers and image consultants that have characterized some of his previous albums. "There's something so relaxing about doing everything yourself, and not trying to second-guess the market," Moby says. "It's nice to try to do things for the right reasons, just make a record because you want to make a record."
