20 Years Ago Today MOBY Released His Breakthrough Bestseller ‘PLAY’…
17 May 2019
Electro popsmith MOBY released his fifth album PLAY today 20 years ago, on 17 May 1999. He recorded it in his home studio in Manhattan, New York. It turned into a global triumph, artistically and commercially. It topped the UK albums chart for 7 weeks and reached the No 1 spot in six other countries while it peaked at a rather low #38 in the
US but sold steadily there for two years. I wasn’t a devoted Moby fan at all but this LP
was near perfect, with a series of fabulous synth pop & soul songs millions, young and
old, could relate to. Here are Turn Up The Volume‘s favorite highlights…
– HONEY –
– NATURAL BLUES –
– WHY DOES MY HEART FEEL SO BAND? –
– FIND MY BABY –
