Yeah and if change is what you want, some ”hipocricy” is gonna have to be accepted. After all, you’re trying to change the views of the other side. What motive do they have to change if the change isn’t then accepted
Back on topic: this reads to me like some artist releasing their unfinished folder 
had a listen to a few, a lot of nice material in there
This looks kinda nice though, if true (100% of proceeds donated):
Anyways, indeed I’ll stay on topic now.
It does read like a found bin-folder ha.
I was personally most curious about him asking only to be credited as 51% songwriter. To the people here who know more about crediting in the industry, is that fair practice or presumptuous/opportunist of him?
I’m more interested in the clause about having to apply for a commercial licence if you make any money from music containing his shit…
Well its worth a great fucking deal to me. As it is ever year, and has been over the course of my life. And will continue to be that way.
Moby has always made beige music for beige people. As already mentioned, made millions selling his skimmed milk muzak to car ad companies. So now he’s ‘giving away’ the shite he couldn’t sell previously.
Its so weak its not even in dairy substitute aisle.
He’s been quite vocal about veganism and animal rights since the 90s even has an album called “animal rights”
Not sure about environmental issues though.
I found the Natalie Portman stuff a bit icky though so I’ve steered clear of his stuff
To be fair natalie portman would probably think I’m pretty icky too.
Reminds me of that Sage Francis Ice T pisstake line from back in the day.
“I am a nightmare walking, psychopath stalking…Natalie Portman with a blank tape in my Walkman.”
We’ve all been there…
I am a nightmare walking
Sorry about offtop, wow, isn’t it a sample in Hardsequencer’s track?
Yes! Noise is the message, wasn’t it?
Original
Yes, just played immediately in my head
As for the main thread, mixed feelings…
Unlimited artistic freedom!!! (terms & conditions apply)
Absolute classic!
I liked his 90’s “rave” era and they did nice tracks & videos (but lost interest after top charts rotation of stuff like Play, Porcelain, etc).
On Feeling So Real single there was a track with source vocal samples, designed for remixers. So, it’s not the first time.
No
My body has changed a lot the past 30 years for sure…
I do think this is fair enough.
You can basically do whatever you want as long as it’s not for a commercial purpose.
That’s pretty standard for lots of software licenses etc.
If he didn’t do that multiple people would just be dumping all 500 tracks straight on Spotify and trying to get streaming revenue for them.
this got me… when you read this I’m still giggling about this
Soooooo who has listened to more than 1 track (I did one track but there was no playlist/advancement to next track) and can tell if those tracks are useful.
Also … how many tracks did he make… what the… he said he has 1000 more he could release? How??? I didn’t manage to produce one track in that time span 
One of the earliest “electronic” artists I was exposed to as a young kid in grade school was Moby. I ended up listening to someone else’s copy of Play quite a bit.
Within a few years I’d lost interest in Moby and I’d found electronic music I liked a whole lot better. At some point I read an actual essay he wrote in the liner notes for one of his CDs (can’t recall which) and my opinion then was that he seemed full of himself and preachy. I just don’t find him very likeable. IMO a lot of his music feels like coffee shop/yuppie electronica.
I guess it’s nice to release a bunch of music for free. I think if I were going to sample any of it (I’m not), I’d just mangle the samples to the point nobody could tell it what it was. Not because I want to avoid letting him get 51%, more like I wouldn’t want anybody to know I was sampling Moby.
correction :“What’s Moby music worth in 2025 ?”
he gets 51% of my revenue?! I thought it’s free?
