Music reviews of Play: The B Sides
Music Review: "B Sides" gets an "A." Fabulous ambient, great trance..
Rating: 5 Stars
Some people complain that Moby is inconsistent, but they'd have little case for it on this disc. As a whole the album is a wonderful aural journey. We start out with the funky, dance-grooved "Flower." Then "Sunday" has lush strings and spacy vocals washing over a big thumping beat. "Memeory Gospel" brings the tempo down with more lush strings, but there's plenty energy in the soulful female gospel vocals. "Whispering Wind" takes you off into a trancy ambient space, with semi-spoken vocals reaching over a great, echoey distance, and a slow but insistent beat that doesn't let you go. "Summer" lives up to its title, with sunny, bright orchestration, and still that pulsing ambient heartbeat. "Spirit" brings you all the way down at the outset, then wakes you back up with a throbbing beat, and eases you back down at the end. "Flying Foxes" is gorgeous, trancy ambient sound with all the good ingredients: easy, throbbing beat, dreamy snatches of vocals and lots of strings. If you can't chill out to this one, you never will, and it's generously long at over 6 minutes. "Sunspot" immediately follows, floating you even further out on the ambient carpet -- towards the sun, maybe? Wonderful chillout. "Flying Over the Dateline" keeps the spacy trip in motion, with more lushness and heartbeat rhythms. "Running" picks up the tempo, but keeps you flying on soft pink clouds. Finally, our pilot brings us back down for a safe, slow, gentle landing with "The Sun Never Stops Setting." This album gets a Wow! for talent, skill, thought-out arrangements and overall cohesiveness. It's literally a trip, well planned and brilliantly guided. It may be Moby's best so far. It's certainly one of them, and one of the best ambient discs ever made.
