Moby - Honey

Review by Suzzan Blac

Honey, the 2000 album by Moby, was a groundbreaking work that blended electronic, rock, and ambient music into a seamless and emotionally powerful whole. With its lush textures, haunting melodies, and deep grooves, Honey captivated listeners worldwide and helped establish Moby as one of the most innovative and influential artists of his generation.

From the opening track, "Honey," with its ethereal vocals and pulsing beats, to the haunting closing cut, "When It's Cold I'd Like To Die," the album takes the listener on a journey through a rich sonic landscape that is at once dark and uplifting, introspective and exhilarating. Along the way, Moby collaborates with a diverse array of musicians, from the gospel choir on "Natural Blues" to the haunting vocals of Sinéad O'Connor on "Harbour."

At its heart, Honey is a deeply personal work that reflects Moby's struggles with addiction, depression, and the pressures of fame. Yet, it is also a celebration of the power of music to heal and inspire, as evidenced by the joyous energy of tracks like "South Side" and "Run On."

On the sleeve it says "Made in Italy", while on the label it says "Made in Great Britain".
This release has the same sleeve as this other Italian 12" version (MVM 9807), but with a sticker on the back which says "including: RADIO VERSION" (this mix was not included on MVM 9807 and is therefore not included in the tracklisting printed on the sleeve). The sticker also features the catalogue number MVM 9807BIS and the barcode. The old catalogue number MVM 9807 is still featured on the spine of the sleeve, as well as on the label of the B-side and in the runout etching of the B-side. The label and runout of the A-side feature the catalogue number MVM 9807BIS and the right tracklisting (including track A2).

About Moby

Born: September 11, 1965, Harlem, New York, NY, United States. Great great great grandson of Herman Melville author of Moby Dick. One of electronic music's most visible and talked-about figures, Moby's career comprises many years of work and many musical twists and turns. His career stretches all the way back to early rave and acid-house releases in the late 80s and early 90s as U.H.F. and Voodoo Child, through to his much loved/hated R&B/blues/pop/techno sample cut-ups of today. His most notable tracks from his early days include "Next Is The E
