    Moby.

    I just finished Moby Dick and ran across this tidbit a couple weeks ago.

  2. J.J., you went from overly easy to extremely obscure…… Of course, I guess if I were into “Techno-Rock” it wouldn’t be hard…… Is HS right?…. …..And, if he is, just who is this Moby character anyway?…… Give us lost ones some insight…..

  3. 4 Points to The very astute Huskysooner. From the “Big Book” Of Musical knowledge. Born Richard Melville Hall 1965 He is a Club DJ who turned his club skills into a career of recording. His 1st success was taking the “Twin Peaks” TV show theme and setting it to a Frantic Dance beat Called Go it went to #10 in the UK in ’91 This led to some projects with Depeche Mode, Bryan Eno, and the B-52’s. Mainly his music is heard on countless movie trailers and TV shows his affinity for taking Punk and mixing it with Blues and Metal then taking it to acoustic has made him somewhat of a guru to the newer generations of musicians. Check out his compilation Mobysongs 1993-1998 on Electra. I like to put his stuff on when I want to get a little eclectic and stay awake late at night.
