10 iconic Moby moments
From 'Go' to Little Pine and beyond
Played the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2003
Moby had previously performed at Glastonbury in the past, on the Other Stage in 2000 and the Dance tent in 1998, but when he landed on the main Pyramid Stage in 2003 it was a landmark moment of his career. He brought out a full band for his set, performing a plethora of hits from his catalogue and more. Standout moments include live renditions of 'Bring Back My Happiness', ‘Porcelain’ and a cover of Radiohead’s ‘Creep’. The Glastonbury performance would also be released on his ‘18 B-Sides + DVD’ later that year.
'Hotel' 2005
In 2005 Moby linked with Pacha to record his album 'Hotel', released by Mute. Although he was affiliated with the world renowned clubbing brand, the album’s sound profile drifted away from his previous electronic works to take on a more rock-focused motif. It is a body of work that showcases his musicianship like never before, as all the instruments, besides the drums, were played by Moby himself, and no outside samples were involved. As one of the biggest critics of himself, he later referred to ‘Hotel ‘as his least favorite work due to his own instrumentation, but it was a major success that debuted on album charts at #1 and went gold and platinum once again.
