I love Moby. (His music, I mean, not him personally. On a personal level I think he's kind of a flake.)
I feel guilty about this, believe me. The music is...well, a bit formulaic, to be honest. Want to make a Moby song? The most common formula goes like this:
1. Get a clip of a black person or choir singing 1-30 seconds of something.
2. Play the clip a few times with a simple rhythm behind it.
3. Play the clip a few more times with some more sounds behind it.
4. Add some soaring electronic chords.
5. Continue adding more and more sounds to the clip, but never letting go of the original simple rhythm.
There are other types of Moby songs, but these are the kind I like best. And I mean, I totally adore them. I just put a new Moby CD in my car today and I could not get past the first song because I had to play it over and over. Here, see for yourself:
Embarrassing. Oh yeah, here's another one I like. This isn't the original video, just someone's collage.

It (the first one) has an initial catchiness, but I found myself bored with it before the clip was over.
