 1989? May 12, 2008
Moby has always been an interesting artist, however, not consistantly interesting. I was majorly disappionted with his last effort and was hoping for something a little more upbeat this time around.
"Last Night" is supposed to reclaim Moby's crown as a top dance artist. This however, is not really the case. The album flits from a very early nineties dance sound(not old enough yet to be retro therefore just naff)to heavily electro dance influenced. This results in a mixed bag of quality. Tracks like "Disco Lies" and "I'm In Love" sound contempory and are mixed to almost perfection, this is surely the route Moby should have followed throughout the whole of the album. "Ooh Yeah" is another excellent track which due to the nature of Moby will probably be featured on an advert in the coming weeks. The rest of the album is tired and old hat.
If Moby was slightly more consistant this album would blow your socks off, however, as it stands i doubt it would even cause a slight breeze.

14 tracks of sheer brilliance. Here, Moby returns to his roots, and it's about time too. As a loyal Moby fan he once again impresses me with his versatility. 'Alice' and 'Disco Lies' will blow you away.
 Moby Dick ! April 12, 2008

What a waste of a talent. Little wonder he only made five quid on the BBC Culture Show Busker's challenge! The memories of Play and 18 are long gone. Instead we are fed a souless, sterile diet of dead dance music dredged up from the bowels of a back street joint which is about to close down and spill its sad contents onto the mean streets at 3am.
The DJ is a scruffy little anorak in a hoody who has spent to much time in the dark and needs to get out in the sun a bit more.
Perhaps famously vegan, christian muso MOBY needs to sink his teeth into some meat. It might stir his creative juices which appear to have run as dry as a bone ?
Romantic elegy for a vanished world April 11, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is a deeply romantic album -- in the sense that it's a journey through memory, a conceptual stroll through the sensations of a typical night out in NYC in the 80s or 90s.
So the night starts wild and jubilant with the old school "I Love To Move In Here", featuring Grandmaster Caz of the Cold Crush Brothers and moves onto a homage to every crazy rave anthem (Black Box's "Ride on Time", anyone?) with "Everyday It's Like 1989". And the mechanistic "257.zero" evokes a haunted landscape of digital bewilderment before lapsing into the rich, weary sophistication of "Live For Tomorrow" and "Hyenas", the latter featuring a swooning Algerian French vocal; Piaf meets Grace Jones at 4am under a stuttering streetlight.
Elsewhere Moby revisits early 90s house with "Disco Lies" and employs a rap from Ainzli Jones and Nigerian hip-hop act 419 Group for futuristic hip-hop outing "Alice". The guttural desperation of the Moroder-ish "I'm In Love" recalls Crystal Waters "She's Homeless" more than it does the smooth sensuality of a Donna Summer.
But as the album swoops to a blissfully exhausted close with its lovely title track, the elegiac quality of the album is clear as first daylight. "If this be my last night on earth," sings Kudu's Sylvia Gordon, "let me remember this for all that it's worth."
Self-referential maybe - but not dated so much as a romantic elegy for a vanished elysium.
