Moby - After
Moby - After
Opps, Moby continue to score me a little bit this time, haha. This is actually quite typical Moby but I proceed to like it anyway. Weird as usual but with a slightly disturbing female vocal this time. A lovely yet thought provoking video, is that about Japan’s nuclear plants crisis? rating: 3.5/5 stars genre: electronica

You can’t blame him for this slightly cheesy, happy tune ‘cos he is happy. It’s unnatural to ask a person to write sad songs when he/she is happy and vice versa. And after all I’m quite delighted after a few listens. rating: 4/5 stars genre: indie pop, indietronica
