I Like To Score

I LIKE TO SCORE contains songs from and inspired by motion pictures.
Personnel: Moby (vocals, various instruments); MC Shah-King (vocals); Rob Hardt, Alexander McCabe (saxophone); Osho Endo (trumpet); Greg Robinson (trombone).
Contains liner notes by Moby.
Being one of the most talented of the early batch of electronic composers, and not just a DJ and beatminer, it makes all the sense in the world that Moby would lend a hand creating incidental music for someone else's images. It makes for great practice and lets him collaborate with someone else without giving up any autonomy. I LIKE TO SCORE combines many of Moby's scoring efforts to date, and helps exemplify the diversity of ideas his work possesses. Aside from the three obvious crowd-pleasers--a souped-up "Moby Re-version" of the James Bond theme that throws down the block-rockin' beats like you'd expect it to, an edit of "Go," built on a sample of Angelo Badalamenti's score for Twin Peaks, and a metallic cover of Joy Division's "New Dawn Fades" -- the pieces veer toward the soundscape-ish.
