Moby's most unified and understated album, and all the better for it, WAIT FOR ME is a morose set of elegantly bleary material, quite a shift from the hedonistic club tracks of LAST NIGHT. Dominated by instrumentals, "Shot in the Back of the Head" is the most evocative of the bunch, seemingly pulled from an unreleased David Lynch film scored by the Afghan Whigs circa GENTLEMEN--a lament from a dustbowl, full of mournful slide guitar and dewy electric piano. Other than "Mistake"--a glum neo-post-punk rave-up that, despite its cathartic release, remains downcast--Moby leaves the vocals to a series of females (neighborhood chums, apparently) who each contribute to one song. The smoky 3-A.M. gospel whispers from throwback soul singer Leela James on "Walk with Me" steal the show. |

| Moby's latest release, Wait For Me, doesn't necessarily contain any sounds that we haven't heard from him before. But it does place weight and emphasis on some of the particular ones. As a slow, moody, and textured collection, Wait For Me plays like a more somber and thoughtful version of some of his more successful albums. Play was unarguably Moby's commercial peak, and found quick fans for its blend of sampled blues, electro polish, brooding strings, and staccato drum tracks. 18 followed a similar path, but placed a greater importance on tracks veering towards reserved melancholy. The path traveled between those two albums finds its ultimate destination with Wait For Me...read the full review | |
