That riff - filleted from the seventies, fortified by the studio, haunts like a ghost and kicks like a mule through satin.
That lyric - 'people come together, people fall apart, we are all made of stars.' We are stardust indeed, matter formed, transformed, reformed, endlessly. Sung with understatement, till it merges with that riff into the cosmic.
That talent - Moby's got it, he's doing it, quality ennit!

Thank you Liana, I was wondering what the best thread was for music discussion. I'll check it out.
Haven't heard the whole album yet. I did hear a lot of the last one, as it was one of my then girlfriend's faves, which she played more than once as we drove through California. I could see the talent, but for me none of those songs had the pure pop brilliance that this song has. This one goes straight to my synapses, man!

nooooo..... Play, and Play B Sides were both brilliant.... i was scared that this wouldnt live up to it. It does, very much so.
Best thing I ever heard from him though, was Porcelain played accoustically on a guitar at V2000..... *swoons*

And did you know that he is Herman Melville's grandson or great grandson or some such thing - or so I'm told. Hence the name Moby.

I like this sentence:
We are made of stardust......
