Theres much more to Moby than "Go" or that song from "The Beach". I think his past work earns him respect for thier place and impact on electronic music. I dont know why people are so up in arms over Moby's success with electronic music. Its the same old "I want my favorite musicians to remain unknown and poor because once people less cool than *me* start liking them I'll be obliged to hate them" debate we have here periodically. One thing about Moby; he is the most recognizable electronic artist in the world. My 4 year old son, Trevor, can spot him a mile away on any show. He spotted him on MTV Cribs, the Grammy's, mulitple videos on MTV and VH1, and just the other day he spotted him on the Andy Dick Show. It so funny because he'll shot out "daddy, theres Moby again!" Also, when I first got the Play album, he'd always ask me "can we listen to Moby?" as I drove him to and from daycare everyday. Trevor just has electronic music in his blood, and Moby is a part of his musical universe. So in that sense Moby is Trevors "Britney Spears" and I dont mean that in a negative way.

Even that was poor, and reeked of kiddie coin. Moby has nothing to do with techno as far as I'm aware, and never has done.
