Pre-Play single from rave's biggest, baldest crossover star.
Label: Instinct Records / Virtual

Moby is surely the single most successful crossover artist to emerge from rave, eclipsing even the Prodigy. Few would have predicted this outcome circa 1991's "Go," a likeable but hardly earth-shattering techno novelty. In truth, there's not a lot to this tune: an efficient hypno-chug of a beat, the ghostly synth-refrain from Angelo Badalamenti's score for Twin Peaks, a soul-diva's moaned "yea-yeah-yeah" and the shouted injunction, "Go!" But in its slight way, "Go" is perfect. The remixes are fairly unnecessary and the "Original" mix sounds completely unlike the version that everyone knows, but the "Radio Edit" is succinct, definitive and definitely the one to, er, go for.

He Got It Dancing!

What I think, Moby is the true 'Proffesional' Electronica (Dance) Music Maker. His Music really inspires me, I tried to make music with his style, but I simply can't. but also myself im a music maker, I use a program called FL Studio 7. But seriously, you have to download all Moby's track. You will be inspired.

Classic Rave

By Simon Reynolds, eMusic Contributor

Rave was the last blast of full-on futurism in the mainstream of British pop culture. The synergy of acid house and the drug MDMA, or ecstasy, in the late '80s opened a lot of minds to listening to abstract instrumental music that had no truck with verse-chorus-verse structure. As Graham Massey of 808 State put it in 1989: "Mainstream clubs are just so out-there and futuristic now. You get beer boys and Sharons and Tracies… more »
