Prolific performer, producer, remixer and writer Moby returns with I Like To Score, a collection of his songs that have appeared in movies and on soundtracks. I Like To Score features Moby's explosive take on the James Bond Theme from the upcoming Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies (and which will not be available on the film's soundtrack album), as well as music from The Saint, Scream, Twin Peaks and many more.

I Like To Score contains Moby's most powerful and dramatic music yet, giving further evidence of his diversity and depth as an artist. The first single, James Bond Theme" (Moby's re-version) is a remake of the famous film spy's theme music that can only be described as massive. Other highlights include the haunting, pulsing Go (remixed version of the theme from Twin Peaks), the cool groove of First Cool Hive (from Scream) and the tense, adrenal pound of Oil 1 (from The Saint).

Moby single-handedly defined, then smashed, the boundaries of techno with his previous releases. His 1995 album, Everything Is Wrong, landed him on almost every major critic's year-end Top 10 list. His latest album, the hardcore-powered Animal Rights, was released this past February to similar praise. "Nothing short of awesome," raved Kerrang.

Moby also has become one of the most in-demand remixers in pop. He's worked with everyone from the Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden and Metallica to Michael Jackson, Brian Eno, Depeche Mode, the Pet Shop Boys, and the B-52's.

The first single from I Like To Score, James Bond Theme (Moby's re-version), will be worked at Alternative, College, Crossover, mix shows and clubs.
