Letter from Moby

This is my response to a letter from Moby sent to Bob Lefsetz

Hey Bob, thanks for this letter from Moby ! It makes me really happy to hear that someone who has had such success in the recent past, is so humble.
I think along the same lines as Moby, in that I just want to be happy, and tapping into creativity makes me happy.
Even if I sell 1000 copies of my cd. Which is a failure in most eyes. Just knowing that people would slip into my world for and hour or so and enjoy it makes me feel good.

I've had an Ipod, and at work I use I tunes all day for music while working, and I still need to listen to albums. I tried making playlists and when a certain song ends, I need to hear the next one, and am disappointed when it's a random song, kinda kills the flow for me. I grew up in the 80's an 90's an the album was king then, and for me it still is.

Even having worked on my album on and off for over 2 years, writing, editing, mixing. You can lose sight of the album's cohesiveness, and you have this feeling that the songs are separate entities and don't really sound like an album. Then it came back from mastering, and I listened to it from beginning to end, all of a sudden it sounded like an album, all the parts where there as a whole, glued together sort of.

anyhow I hope artists continue to make albums, cause that's the way uh huh uh huh I like it!

peace

Joe
