Album Review: Always Centered at Night by Moby
Great, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 3.8/5
A recap of what he's done in the past 15 years. Always Centered at Night started as a record label created by Moby, where he could release whatever music his heart desires without any compromises or commercial pressure. One would argue this is what he has been doing since Wait for Me. From the synth punk of the Void Pacific Choir LPs to the low-key, ambient epics, there was always an experimental project behind his main albums.
Opinion: Very Good
Moby's colossal success - more than 20 million records sold over a 35 year career - has perhaps led to a few disingenuous portraits over the years. The ubiquity of his 1999 album 'Play' dominates his catalogue, but in truth there's always been much more to him than meets the eye. A techno populist who worked with Britney Spears , Moby's ear for collaboration feels refreshingly ego-free, allowing talents around him to blossom.
