Moby ‘Best Of’ - Interview

Q12: Another track on this album is "Feeling So Real". What led you to call an album "Everything Is Wrong"?

MOBY: Well, it's funny. In 1995 I put out the album "Everything Is Wrong" and the hit single off of "Everything Is Wrong" was called "Feeling So Real", which is a big, euphoric dance record, so it's kind of ironic to have the most celebratory, euphoric record of my career, "Feeling So Real", contained on an album called "Everything is Wrong".

At that time, I was obsessed with politics and I was obsessed with all the things that were going wrong in the world, from a social perspective, from an environmental perspective and the title "Everything Is Wrong" just described how I felt about the world at that time.

One of the only things I felt was right about the world at that time was people going out and getting sweaty and dancing at 3 o'clock in the morning to euphoric dance music and so, again, the song "Feeling So Real," it's in some ways an homage to all the other dance records that have been based around that concept. I mean, there's an iconic dance track called "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", there were quite a few rave tracks based around the "Feeling So Real" notion, so it was me sort of paying tribute to a lot of the dance producers who came before me.
