Eeeew.  There's something creepy, slimey about this guy — like how I felt when I sat on a slug on the toilet seat in a the middle of the night.

Makes me wonder, what was the song of the last millennium? I'm curious to hear different ideas.

For me, there are no less than a hundred, but close to the top of my list is Come Together.
I don't know, I just find it wicked in so many ways...

 
I would have to say that would be the song Let Down by Radiohead.   This is my favorite Moby song and a certain candidate for the best song of this new millenium.  Another candidate would be the first track off the CD Lift Your Skinny Fists to Heaven Like Antennas by GYBE.

I really hope not. It seems to me to be a terrible shame to think that we've reached a peak in any field that will not be beaten for a thousand years.

Not a bad song, but I hope to hear music I enjoy far more over whatever proportion of this millennium is allotted to me by fate.

This is now as a "classic". Excellent, Overplayed, but that's not mr. Melville's fault

That is incorrect.  Moby is a fairly proficient guitarist and a singer in additional to being an extremely proficient producer.

On this track he's singing the bulk of the vocals.  Clearly not the "hey hey woman" part, that's Pilar, but the verses are Moby.

Classic NYC lounge music! In the late '90s, Moby popped up in the rotation of every other LES or E Village hipster hangout I strolled into.
And on the other side of the country, as I drove along the western edge of Lake Mead some 5 years ago, on a cloudless night in a hot rental car with a sun roof, as God Moving Over the Face of the Water blasted from my CD, I had a taste of heaven.

Mr. Speaker I would like to revise and amend. After having spent some time listening to a bunch of Moby I can honestly admit now that I do actually like a lot of his stuff.  Granted, some of it is a bit pretentious, but other tracks, like this one, are really good compositions (and, of course, Extreme Ways ;^)  ). I've become somewhat of a fan and found that he's good listening while out for a long ride on the motorcycle. See - people can change :^)

I've always assumed that he is the only son of a Hollywood producer with way too much money. Can't think of any other reason why he would have gotten any airplay otherwise.

To me, it's coming home - fairly buzzed - from a wonderful luxurient dinner with my wife and a couple I love. Amazing food, a few martinis, great conversation, and we're driving through the dark empty streets in the Southern CA desert with this on the Cd player. Just enjoying the moment, the company, and this soundtrack.
 
Love it!

Sure it's pretty listenable... but it really sounds like noodling around in the studio to me.

Yeah I know there was a time when this album was over played, but hearing it again after a couple years hiatus I'm loving it again.

After years of hearing clips of this on NPR during story interludes, I finally figured out what the song was. Duh for me, but I got the album and I really like it.  (Tell me!)

I know it's hip to hate Moby but I still really like this song. Great feel and mood to it, plus I like the vocoder thing.
