Moby Info 3

March 1995

Everything Is Wrong Moby's first official album, Everything Is Wrong, will be released on March 13th. It includes versions of Hymn, Feeling So Real and Everytime You Touch Me as well as the infamous House of Suffering mix of All That I Need Is To Be Loved. As you'd expect from Moby, it's far from your usual dance album; one American reviewer likened it to loading up his multidisc CD player and pressing the random button. "Everything Is Wrong suggests through its diversity how one-dimensional most techno/trance/jungle/ambient/progressive house albums can be," he wrote. "[It] embraces all those sounds, plus elements of funk, punk, metal, industrial, blues, classical, New Age and art rock." The next single from the album will be Into The Blue; it's scheduled for release in the UK on June 19th, and various formats will include mixes from the Beatmasters, Junior Vasquez, Phil Kelsey, DJ Seduction, Steve Mason and Jon Spencer (of Blues Explosion "fame").

Everytime You Touch Me The winner of the Everytime You Touch Me remix competition was Jude Sebastian - his mix was included on the 12" and the first CD of the single. A second 12", featuring mixes by four runners-up - Totalis, Quatermass, Ron Verboom and Tabernacle - will be released on March 13th.

Trophy Records

Moby has set up his own label, Trophy Records. He plans to release experimental techno tracks along the lines of Demons/Horses, the single he released on NovaMute under the name of Voodoo Child last year. All the releases will be distributed through Mute Records, and the first release will be another from Voodoo Child - Higher/Desperate (there'll be a bonus track, Sim 1, on the CD). It'll be released in the UK and Germany on June 5; as yet there are no plans to release it anywhere else.

Other things

Moby recently appeared on MTV's Most Wanted, where he performed Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze, an acoustic version of Everytime You Touch Me and the HOS mix of All That I Need Is To Be Loved. He also presented MTV Party Zone and MTV Dance, in which he insisted on swapping clothes with VJ Simone Angel.
