Moby - Ambient (Pre-Order)

Like so much of Moby's earliest work, this isn't so much an album as a compilation via his original label, Instinct. Ambient music influences in techno were all the rage in 1993 in terms of press and coverage, so it's no surprise Instinct wanted some of that action, right down to the says-it-all title.

Motivations aside, Ambient is an enjoyable collection of experiments; if Aphex Twin's monumental Selected Ambient Works releases eclipse it in terms of both quality and sheer inventiveness, Moby's own efforts in the field are often quite pleasing.

Those familiar with such later efforts as "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters" and "The Rain Falls and the Sky Shudders" can find their partial roots here. (AMG)
