Album Description:
Last Night - the fifteen track album was recorded in Moby's home studio in Manhattan NY and mixed by Dan Grech - Maguerat who has also worked with Radiohead and the Scissor Sisters. The new album features guest vocalists and includes the original 70's MC Grandmaster Caz one of the writers of Rappers Delight, Sylvia from Kudu, the UK's MC Aynzli and S.O. Simple and Smokey from the Nigerian 419 Squad. EMI. 2008.
Amazon.co.uk:
After three albums that seemed to find Moby in some sort of creative stasis, Last Night sees the once-restless DJ/producer changing the record and returning to one of his first loves: the heaving dancefloors of his native New York. Soulful, uplifting piano rave is the order of the day here, and while some hallmarks of Play remain--Moby still has a fascination for long, tearful synth lines and sampled vocals, which he drops in here and there, seemingly to yield the maximum emotional response--Last Night still feels like a clean slate. "I Like to Move in Here" shimmies along on a languid house beat that doffs a cap to early hip-hop in the shape of a cameo from MC Grandmaster Caz, one of the writers of "Rapper's Delight", while "Everyday It's 1989" is the sort of overdriven, ecstatic piano house that Moby perfected on his 1995 classic Everything Is Wrong. There's more guest spots in the shape of British MC Aynzli, the Nigerian 419 Squad and Sylvia from dark NYC disco band Kudu, but the most impressive thing about Last Night is the peaks that Moby can reach when he's working alone: see the grand, emotive swell of "Sweet Apocalypse", cold synths and driving beats that, were it released by James Murphy, would be hailed as genius--and rightfully, too.--Louis Pattison

The one thing I like better about PLAY is that Moby mixed and engineered that album himself
but not this new one. It is still very entertaining and enjoyable though. Get this one instead of HOTEL
for sure.

If you are a club-goer, you are going to love this album. Disc jockeys all around the world will agree that Moby has truly outdone himself this time. There are two #1 club play singles to be found here - "Disco Lies" and "I Like To Move In Here." But honestly, every track is worthy - there is zero filler to be found on Last Night.
Forget all you think you know about Moby - this makes Play a distant stagnant memory. I hope my review brings this album up in the rankings - it is deserving of Top Ten status! Stay tuned for my full review on dailyvault.com.

Last Night feels more like a controlled effort to convince fans he has returned to his dancefloor roots rather then a genuine album that makes you want to move like his old classics Play and Everything is Wrong provided, instead at best mimicking the old prototype with tracks such as "Everyday It's 1989" interspersed with half-cooked attempts to update a stale palate.

The first time I heard this maybe I wasn't in the right mood, I could swear that Moby was a fag or something, and he could be - regardless, the music is still dope. The point is that this album is way cool to listen to when doing nightly hygiene. It took my a little while to warm up to this one. Nonetheless, it's got a real catchy hook, and really killer vibe. I dig it. I would recommend it to someone who likes kitsch (though I deny liking kitsch myself, I just dig this one when I brushing my teeth).

This album had a lot of hype around it. Everyone was saying, "oh, Moby is back!" ...blah blah blah.
I'm still not sure whether I love it or hate it.
Still not selling it, gonna give it MORE time to grow on me. You know these damn talented artists and how they're always 'ahead of their time' and what not. I hope that's the case on this one.
