Moby ‘Best Of’ - Interview

Q3: Which Greatest Hits or Best Of albums do you listen to yourself?

MOBY: Well, as far as Greatest Hits or Best Of by other artists that I listen to… Credence Clearwater Revival's. I mean, the Rolling Stones, it seems like throughout the course of their career they've put out about 20 Greatest Hits records - there was "Green Grass and High Tides" and then "Hot Rocks". "Changes 1" Bowie is a great one, but again, David Bowie, I think he's also put out about 10 Greatest Hits records. Marc Bolan and T Rex's Greatest Hits. Mmmm… I can't think of a Greatest Hits from the last 15 years that I actually listen to.

Q4: When you look back over your musical output in the last 15 years, do you see a common spirit or ambition to what you do? Could you define your underlying drive in making music?

MOBY: I mean, I make music… It's hard. Sometimes I'll do interviews and I'll be asked a question that's a really good question and I feel that my answer's kind of not necessarily up to the standards of the question. So, the reason I make music is because I love making music and it's the only thing I know how to do and I feel like of all the artforms, it's the one that's best at communicating emotion. Yeah, I never sat down at an early age and thought to myself, "OK. Well, you know, the things that live inside me can only be given voice by expressing through music." It was more just I loved music and my heroes made music and no other artform affected me as strongly.
