Moby ‘Best Of’ - Interview

Here's the transcript of an interview with Moby about his Best Of album.

Q1: How did you select the tracks for your new album, "Go - The Very Best Of Moby"?

MOBY: Well, my criteria for picking what I think are the best songs I've ever written is criteria that no-one else would employ in picking their favourites of the songs I've written. My favourite songs I've written tend to be the ones that no-one else really likes that much, so most of the songs that are on the Greatest Hits or the Best Of are actually songs that I let my friends pick and I let people at the record company pick, because I feel like they're a lot more objective than I am.

Q2: Is it fair to say that the tracklisting includes your most successful singles?

MOBY: Yeah… I guess so. I mean, essentially when you're releasing a "Best Of", there has to be a populist component to it and, you know, in picking the songs, you're ideally picking the songs that most people who are going to be buying the record would probably concur with you on.
