I'll admit that I'm not the biggest electronic/chillout music expert. However, I credit myself in having a fairly good ear for recognizing decent music when I hear it. This album is a perfect example of this. Play is filled with outstanding techno compositions the creatively and effectively uses of samples of blues and gospel vocal recordings. It sounds a bit strange at first, but it works flawlessly. Moby also adds great guitar riffs, piano, and backing synthesizers to give the songs more depth. Despite dragging on a bit through the second half, there's plenty of goods dispersed throughout it's entire hour-plus runtime. If you can listen to this album and block out all of the commercials and movies that it's songs have been used in, then I highly recommend giving it a spin over and over again.
