Talk:Play (Moby album)

Untitled

If you play any of the songs from this album with speeches from Martin Luther King Jr., they go together eerily well (for instance, compare watching The Wizard of Oz while listening to Dark Side of the Moon).

If you listen to this album while eating broccoli, a solar eclipse will occur.

Gwen Stefani

The Gwen Stefani remix of "Southside" was not on the B-Sides album, it was only released as a single. -Comrade S. 23:12, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

"Every song is licensed"

Although I don't find this claim difficult to believe, verifying it has been somewhat difficult. Even the Moby entry that includes a list of licensed songs fails to list where every song on the album is used. Kevin 06:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

• More than that, I went through the relevant entries and album listings for the three acts claimed to have achieved the same feat (Celldweller, Meiko, and The Crystal Method), and I haven't found this mentioned there; based on my familiarity with the group's music, I think the most likely TCM album to have all of its tracks licensed would be Tweekend but I haven't found any mention of such a thing. FWIW the edits adding in this information were all made in the spring of 2011, and the first one left out Meiko. Julyo (talk) 05:12, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

"Every song is licensed"

Yes, I wonder if someone could verify this somehow? Ozwebfx 06:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ozwebfx (talk • contribs) 06:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC).

Genre

Changed the genre from House, Electronica to just Electronica, as I think it's a better description - ZEROpumpkins (talk) 03:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

South Side: The "original" version

The original version was re-released on the U.S. edition of Moby's Go: The Very Best of Moby compilation. The article is extremely inaccurate here: South Side's first recording, according to the separate single article, WAS with Gwen Stefani, it was just dropped by Moby. So it is not clear what the "original" version is, can be misinterpreted easily that way. -andy 91.8.153.8 (talk) 19:08, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Recoil connection

There should really be a link here to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodline_(album), which Moby appears on, & which likely inspired the use of "recycled" vocals. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.179.242.40 (talk) 03:06, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

This article is somewhat biased, I think

I really don't feel that this article was written from a neutral point of view. It seems to praise it too much.

Discussion of recent edits

There are several things wrong with the album ratings section:

• There should be no more than 10 ratings listed (see here)
• The citations for the ratings are in bare URL format

Film licenses

Added The Beach by Danny Boyle as it used Porcelain in possibly the best film/music match ever made, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.25.117.170 (talk) 13:51, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Best selling independent album in the uk 2000?

I find this not really important or necessarly.

Because everyone knows that independent albums are not selling so much. But this album sold nearly 1,9 million copies in the uk and therefore i would not place this sentence here.

It was one of the best selling albums of the 2000s — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.111.57.236 (talk) 07:35, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Copyvio

The first five paragraphs after the lede are pretty much copied from RollingStone, [1]. It wouldn't be a bad thing to ease down the Cinderella theme anyway. trespassers william (talk) 01:32, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Alternative source for the Alan Lomax box set

Here is a alternative source for the Alan Lomax box set: Heavyweight podcast --Abu-Dun Talk 20:47, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Samples

I recently heard in a radio feature that Moby used the samples from the Lomax recordings without permission of Lomax or others and that a lot of people were not happy about it, because this spiritual deep recordings were used for Mobys light mainstream billboard music. This should be also mentioned in my opinion to give this article a well balance. 178.6.15.15 (talk) 14:02, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
