Overview
Moby’s ‘Play’ is a genre-defying masterpiece that blends Electronic music with a rich tapestry of Gospel, Blues, and Ambient influences - a combination that might seem unconventional until you hear the final product. It's an album with distinctive character, emerging from its seamless fusion of sampled vintage vocal recordings with danceable Electronica beats, creating a timeless and deeply emotive sound. Beyond its commercial success, ‘Play’ has become a landmark album and a quintessential listen for anyone seeking innovative production. Just hit play and enjoy.
Recommended for Y2K heads looking to see the millennium out with an absolute stonker.

It's classic, iconic, and exactly the feeling Moby would want listeners to experience when listening to ‘Play’. The colour scheme features a palette that perfectly complements it, and the tiny 'play' symbol is a small but nice touch. Class.
