HeÆs explored ██│ music-making in numerous sonic spaces over the years, and his latest, ██│ Reprise, takes some of those biggest hits, as well as early career ██│ successes, and reimagines them in either orchestral or acoustic ██│ environmentsùto resounding success. ██│ ██│ Half of the 14 tracks on Reprise come from Play, as well as MobyÆs ██│ other mainstream hit, 2002Æs 18. Also represented in this collection ██│ are 2005Æs Hotel, 2013Æs Innocents, 1992Æs self-titled debut and 1995Æs ██│ Everything Is Wrong. ItÆs but a small sampling of MobyÆs varied work, ██│ but when presented in string-heavy arrangements and supported by an ██│ updated cast of charactersùfrom the well-known to the emergingùReprise ██│ feels like a complete collection. ██│ ██│ Just because this is an acoustic-centered album doesnÆt mean itÆs ██│ lacking grand bombast. Listen to tracks like ôWhy Does My Heart Feel So ██│ Badö (Play) and ôLift Me Up,ö the lone representative from Hotel. The ██│ latter pairs aged, crackling vocals, galloping bass- or timpani-drum ██│ framework, swelling strings and a piano. The racing synthetic heartbeat ██│ of the song is gone. But make no mistake, the heartbeat is still there, ██│ and itÆs still racing. ██│ ██│ The orchestration is provided courtesy of the Budapest Art Orchestra, ██│ whose role on the record cannot be understated. Album opener ██│ ôEverloving,ö one of the Play hits, also introduces the albumÆs ██│ dichotomy of sparse slow-burning jams and bombast. The first two-thirds ██│ of the track comes across as classical mood music, with two or three ██│ violin harmonies dancing with each other alongside a twinkling piano, ██│ which the original version did with a lone guitar melody. But where the ██│ original turned into a sort of rock track, this one slowly explodes in ██│ a burst of even more strings. ██│ ██│ That leads into ôNatural Blues,ö also off Play. Both versions are ██│ explosive, but in different ways. The original was dirge-like, but this ██│ version sounds more joyous, due to the vocal contributions of jazz ██│ vocalists Gregory Porter and Amythyst Kiah. The two singers add a ██│ gospel quality to the song, which also seems to have a more varied ██│ musical palate, while the original had a one- or two-chord base. ██│ ██│ Looking for a Moby Afro-Caribbean jam? YouÆll find that on ôGo,ö a new ██│ version of his first hit from 1992. At least it starts that way, with ██│ cacophonous hand drumming and piano. Along the way, it turns into a ██│ heart-pounding, moody ôJames-Bondö-esque tune. The original was a ██│ true-to-the-early-Æ90s jock-jam-like cheer song. Soà yeahà thatÆs how ██│ far this one has traveled to get to its new arrangement. ██│ ██│ Moby, of course, isnÆt known for ôJames Bond.ö HeÆs known for the ██│ ôBourneö film series! ôExtreme Ways,ö from 18 and the seriesÆ ██│ soundtrack, also makes this cut. But in this case, Moby reverts the ██│ original version of the song, which already featured some synthetic ██│ string melodies (including that instantly recognizable intro) into a ██│ folky acoustic guitar tune. Gone is the percussion. The strings are ██│ there but serve as a backing melody rather than a highlight instrument. ██│ This has the effect of spotlighting the downtrodden vocals. Remember ██│ that instantly recognizable string intro in the original? Moby brings ██│ it back to the songÆs bridge. This time, theyÆre not synthetic. If ██│ youÆve got a heartbeat and enjoyed the original, this will make the ██│ hair on your arms stand on end. ██│ ██│ The performance of Icelandic concert pianist Vφkingur ╙lafsson ██│ highlights the symphonic take on ôGod Moving Over The Face Of The ██│ Watersö (off Æ95Æs Everything Is Wrong). This song is stylistically the ██│ most similar to the original, but manages to feel less synthetic and ██│ includes new movements as it jumps from nearly six minutes to nearly ██│ eight minutes in length. A jazzy reinvention of ôWe Are All Made Of ██│ Starsö (18) is also led by piano, some open hi-hat percussion and a ██│ backing choir. Violins arenÆt generally associated with jazz, yet ██│ theyÆre thrown in for good measure and add to the multidimensional ██│ mood. ██│ ██│ Jim James of My Morning Jacket sings on Play hit ôPorcelain,ö another ██│ song that mixes styles. There are still some squelchy synths, and a ██│ jazzy piano contribution as well. While the original was a muted ██│ slow-burner, this new string-led arrangement brings a crispness to both ██│ the individual instruments and vocals. ██│ ██│ ôGreat Escapeö (18) is still led by the cello and still seems inspired ██│ by U2Æs ôSo Cruel,ö but the voices of cowriters Maria Taylor and Orenda ██│ Fink (Azure Ray) are replaced by Nataly Dawn, Alice Skye and Luna Li. ██│ Likewise, ôAlmost Homeö (Innocents) trades in the contributions of ██│ indie rock stalwart Damien Jurado for up-and-comer Novo Amor, frequent ██│ Moby vocalist Mindy Jones and Boston band Darlingside. The vocals of ██│ Skylar Grey are brought higher up in the mix on album closer, ôThe Last ██│ Day,ö also off Innocents. ██│ ██│ A surprise comes in the inclusion of a slow and straightforward cover, ██│ sung by Jones, off David BowieÆs ôHeroes.ö The song has been ██│ instrumental to Moby the artist, yet it appears heÆs never released a ██│ version of his own before. ██│ ██│ The emotional core of Reprise lies in songs featuring the weathered ██│ vocals of Mark Lanegan and Kris Kristofferson on ôThe Lonely Night.ö ██│ Lanegan already appeared on the original 2013 version of the song, but ██│ Kristofferson mirrors him, adding incredible depth. ██ │▓█ │▓█ │██│ ██│ URL: https://moby.com/ ██│ ██│     ██│        │██░  █▄     │██▓░        ▓███▄▄▄  ▐██▓     ░▓██▓ │▓█▀███▄▄▄░   ─────▐─────▐───▐─░▌───▄─────▐██▄──── ░▓████▀░ │█▀█▓▄▀▄▀▓▌█▀▓▄░  ─▄───│─────▌────▌─▐──▀▓▀───▐░▓▓███── ▓█▐▀▀▄▀▄ ▄ ░ ▌▐▌▀▓▓▀ ▀░ ▀▓▀──▌────▐─────▐─────────▐▓─────▐──  ▀ ▐▌▐ ▀▄▀▄▒░▓ ────▐─────├────▄█▌───────▄▌─────▐───  ░▒▄▀▄▀ ░ ▀▄▀▄ ─▄▄▄▌───▄▓▌───▐██▌──-███▄▌─────▐░───  ▄▀▄▀ ░ ▄ ▐▌▐▌ ███▓ ▐███░   ░▀▀▀▀  ▄▄▓▄▌  ▄   ▐▌▐▌ ▄ ▀▓▀ ▓▀▄▀       ▀▀▓  2 0 2 1    ▓ ▐███▓  ▀▓▀  ▀▄▀▄ ▀▓▀    ▐  ▓▓      ░▄
