██ ░▄
██│ Moby had enough hits just off his 1999 album, Play, to last a lifetime.
██│ But the DJ/producer extraordinaire, whose career has now spanned three
██│ decades, has never been one to let his songs rest. HeÆs explored
██│ music-making in numerous sonic spaces over the years, and his latest,
██│ Reprise, takes some of those biggest hits, as well as early career
██│ successes, and reimagines them in either orchestral or acoustic
██│ environmentsùto resounding success.
██│
██│ Half of the 14 tracks on Reprise come from Play, as well as MobyÆs
██│ other mainstream hit, 2002Æs 18. Also represented in this collection
██│ are 2005Æs Hotel, 2013Æs Innocents, 1992Æs self-titled debut and 1995Æs
██│ Everything Is Wrong. ItÆs but a small sampling of MobyÆs varied work,
██│ but when presented in string-heavy arrangements and supported by an
██│ updated cast of charactersùfrom the well-known to the emergingùReprise
██│ feels like a complete collection.
██│
██│ Just because this is an acoustic-centered album doesnÆt mean itÆs
██│ lacking grand bombast. Listen to tracks like ôWhy Does My Heart Feel So
██│ Badö (Play) and ôLift Me Up,ö the lone representative from Hotel. The
██│ latter pairs aged, crackling vocals, galloping bass- or timpani-drum
██│ framework, swelling strings and a piano. The racing synthetic heartbeat
██│ of the song is gone. But make no mistake, the heartbeat is still there,
██│ and itÆs still racing.
██│
██│ The orchestration is provided courtesy of the Budapest Art Orchestra,
██│ whose role on the record cannot be understated. Album opener
██│ ôEverloving,ö one of the Play hits, also introduces the albumÆs
██│ dichotomy of sparse slow-burning jams and bombast. The first two-thirds
██│ of the track comes across as classical mood music, with two or three
██│ violin harmonies dancing with each other alongside a twinkling piano,
██│ which the original version did with a lone guitar melody. But where the
██│ original turned into a sort of rock track, this one slowly explodes in
██│ a burst of even more strings.
██│
██│ That leads into ôNatural Blues,ö also off Play. Both versions are
██│ explosive, but in different ways. The original was dirge-like, but this
██│ version sounds more joyous, due to the vocal contributions of jazz
██│ vocalists Gregory Porter and Amythyst Kiah. The two singers add a
██│ gospel quality to the song, which also seems to have a more varied
██│ musical palate, while the original had a one- or two-chord base.
██│
██│ Looking for a Moby Afro-Caribbean jam? YouÆll find that on ôGo,ö a new
██│ version of his first hit from 1992. At least it starts that way, with
██│ cacophonous hand drumming and piano. Along the way, it turns into a
██│ heart-pounding, moody ôJames-Bondö-esque tune. The original was a
██│ true-to-the-early-Æ90s jock-jam-like cheer song. Soà yeahà thatÆs how
██│ far this one has traveled to get to its new arrangement.
██│
██│ Moby, of course, isnÆt known for ôJames Bond.ö HeÆs known for the
██│ ôBourneö film series! ôExtreme Ways,ö from 18 and the seriesÆ
██│ soundtrack, also makes this cut. But in this case, Moby reverts the
██│ original version of the song, which already featured some synthetic
██│ string melodies (including that instantly recognizable intro) into a
██│ folky acoustic guitar tune. Gone is the percussion. The strings are
██│ there but serve as a backing melody rather than a highlight instrument.
██│ This has the effect of spotlighting the downtrodden vocals. Remember
██│ that instantly recognizable string intro in the original? Moby brings
██│ it back to the songÆs bridge. This time, theyÆre not synthetic. If
██│ youÆve got a heartbeat and enjoyed the original, this will make the
██│ hair on your arms stand on end.
██│
██│ The performance of Icelandic concert pianist Vφkingur ╙lafsson
██│ highlights the symphonic take on ôGod Moving Over The Face Of The
██│ Watersö (off Æ95Æs Everything Is Wrong). This song is stylistically the
██│ most similar to the original, but manages to feel less synthetic and
██│ includes new movements as it jumps from nearly six minutes to nearly
██│ eight minutes in length. A jazzy reinvention of ôWe Are All Made Of
██│ Starsö (18) is also led by piano, some open hi-hat percussion and a
██│ backing choir. Violins arenÆt generally associated with jazz, yet
██│ theyÆre thrown in for good measure and add to the multidimensional
██│ mood.
██│
██│ Jim James of My Morning Jacket sings on Play hit ôPorcelain,ö another
██│ song that mixes styles. There are still some squelchy synths, and a
██│ jazzy piano contribution as well. While the original was a muted
██│ slow-burner, this new string-led arrangement brings a crispness to both
██│ the individual instruments and vocals.
██│
██│ ôGreat Escapeö (18) is still led by the cello and still seems inspired
██│ by U2Æs ôSo Cruel,ö but the voices of cowriters Maria Taylor and Orenda
██│ Fink (Azure Ray) are replaced by Nataly Dawn, Alice Skye and Luna Li.
██│ Likewise, ôAlmost Homeö (Innocents) trades in the contributions of
██│ indie rock stalwart Damien Jurado for up-and-comer Novo Amor, frequent
██│ Moby vocalist Mindy Jones and Boston band Darlingside. The vocals of
██│ Skylar Grey are brought higher up in the mix on album closer, ôThe Last
██│ Day,ö also off Innocents.
██│
██│ A surprise comes in the inclusion of a slow and straightforward cover,
██│ sung by Jones, off David BowieÆs ôHeroes.ö The song has been
██│ instrumental to Moby the artist, yet it appears heÆs never released a
██│ version of his own before.
██│
██│ The emotional core of Reprise lies in songs featuring the weathered
██│ vocals of Mark Lanegan and Kris Kristofferson on ôThe Lonely Night.ö
██│ Lanegan already appeared on the original 2013 version of the song, but
██│ Kristofferson mirrors him, adding incredible depth.
