That's a first for me. Quite interesting. Perform the great escape. Ambiguous but clear enough.

This album was released in 2002, not 1994 as it says in the info above.

The melody sounds like a video game.

I think this song is about jealousy, specifically about how a jealous person will smother anyone they're in a relationship with.

Moby has some really great stuff but this is not one of my favorites. I'm indifferent about it.

The is a great song, one of Moby's best.  10.

With each spin into rotation, Moby seems to spiral farther from relevance..

Well I like it so there.

At least if you don't like it it is mercifully short. I had to suffer 25 minutes of utter crap from Jethro Tull on here the other night. Eventually I turned it off as I thought it would never end.


IMHO using "utter crap" and "Jethro Tull" in the same sentence is a pleonasm. Some others think for the past 30 years that this is a sacrilege.

I actually am quite in love with this song, from the first time I've heard it, to know, almost a year later.

Not to sound uncharitable, but perhaps the worst song I've heard played on RP. Hopefully just a weather induced anomaly.

When I play this CD at home, I skip right over this song. Sometimes I wish RP as a skip feature.........

Oooh, you're right about the strings. There's no substitute for the real thing.

Uh... read the lyrics. They are disturbing.

Not about Houdini.

Is it just me or does the vocalist in this song sound just like the female singer from the Magnetic Fields? Anyone know if it's the same girl?


Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor from Azure Ray, also RP artists. They have toured with Moby.

Sadly one of the very few decent tracks on this album. Only saving grace is Sinead's vocals.

Eerie to say the least.

"I'm an artist. You can tell, because I have a great record collection. I snip my favorite pieces from my records, & piece them together over a beat. I played them to intoxicated people in clubs. They decided I was a musical genius.

I'd say that I hate this tune, but its plodding dullness has rendered me completely unable to muster any strong feelings with regard to it at all...

Very pretty - the synth strings kind of grate on me a bit - real strings would have been better, but otherwise very nice.

I was really dissapointed with this entire album. It was months after 9/11, and I'd grieved enough.


Well, it does take awhile to compose, produce and distribute an album, y'know ...

Also, just a shot in the dark here, but if Moby is anything like me (we both have a 9/11 birthday), the grief took on an extra, personal shade. Having your birthday turned into a national day of mourning is kinda like losing a little bit of your identity.

Hope that as the years wear on, you're able to listen to this with a different set of ears (but still your own!)
