Oh my it’s been a while since I was excited about new music. In fact the last time I talked about new music was in this post here. While at work, I keep tabs on Greece, while listening to RedFM. It’s my local station in Athens, and while the ads are shit, and the audio quality is not all that great, the music is generally relatively good.

I came back from lunch today, sat down and there and then I got the new Moby song on my earphones. Words cannot express my happiness when I heard it. Absolutely amazing stuff. I haven’t been this excited about new music in such a long time. The new album is called HOTEL. The first song is called ‘Lift me up’, and is easily one of the best things he’s ever done. It gave me goosebumps when I first listened to it, and I was smiling like a complete idiot for 2 hours afterwards.

In fact I remember the last time where I was when Moby released his last album. I was in Greece just after University. It was a Friday and I had to work on a Saturday. The Moby launch party was at what was my favourite club at the time (Camel Club, named for the cigarettes). It was just me and Katerina. They had a magician outside in the cue which was a great touch. Moby had a recorded message for the people of Athens which was great as well. The entire album was played. I remember Katerina had a big plaster over her nose as she’d had an accident with her window the day before and was therefore concious about it. We didn’t win the X-Box they were giving away. As we left the club they gave away free rare singles, which were great.

It was one of the best nights I’ve ever had, where I got into the music so much and genuinely enjoyed myself. I was going to call in sick the next day but I didn’t. Got back home around 5:30, 2 hours sleep and off to work. I’m hoping there’s a launch part here, because I’m definitely going.
