Moby is not without talent. He is a careerist who likes to make money, and is willing to put out commercial stuff to formula and frankly I don't blame him. He makes a lot of money, without killing or cheating anyone, so he's causing a lot less harm than most rich people.
He will occasionally rise above the level of commercial product as the mood strikes him. Maybe if we praise him for those rare rise-abover tracks, instead of always slagging him off as a sell-out, he might do more of them. I do have it on good authority that he is kinda smelly in person, if you want some dirt on him. He showed up at a friend of mine's studio for a photo shoot, and at the photographer's request swapped shirts with my friend. My friend was so grossed out , he threw his shirt away when he got it back. This is why you read 313 list isn't it?
