Just in case you cared, Pampelmoose.com let the world know this week about the new Moby album, which is available to stream for free from the P-Moose site.

I haven’t minded Moby, ever since That’s When I Reach For My Revolver. I thought it was a nice step up for him. This release finds him treading a bit of water here and there, but things did pick up nicely on the track Shot In The Back Of The Head.

The track Study War is pretty tired, we heard this sort of thing already on Play. Mistake sounds a bit Bowie-esque and that’s not a bad thing. There is plenty to explore here and while I’m over the orchestral Moby sounds, some of this is fairly catchy and worth a second listen. It’s not what you’d call a terribly chirpy record–Moby’s always been moody..but this one is a bit down in the mouth, but not in a bad way…I like the melancholies.

PS–the Hope Is Gone track is very reminiscent of Julee Cruise/Twin Peaks soundtrack sounds. Nice one!
