Moby is a talented guy. He per formed, produced and recorded every instrument on the album. While his earlier albums show case this talent, the songs fea tured here hardly seem worth the time or money. It’s background music, which is only good for calming the rowdy Sunday crowds at the Sizzler. AlternaTeens© will be happy with the inclusion of Moby’s “re version” of the James Bond theme. Instead of a weak, carbon-copy tribute (see Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr’s “Mission: Impos sible Theme”), Moby has created a fast, furious and pounding homage. The song is ruined only by truly cheesy samples of Pierce Brosnon attempting to say, “Bond. James Bond.” “Go,” Moby’s first single, is also included on the album. The song is a worthless perversion of Badalamenti’s beautiful “Laura Palmer’s Theme” from “Twin Peaks.” When will the remix mad ness end? “I really don’t go to see that many movies,” Moby said in a press release. It’s a beautiful thing, too, because not that many movie producers listen to music, or they would have known better. Moby is no John Williams, but then, when is the last time Williams put out an album of self-produced, self-per formed hardcore? Moby may not like to settle into any one format, but electronica is where he works best. I Like to Score is an interesting side trip, but should only find its way into the CD racks of true Mobyphiles. — By Chris Martin % You Can Help AO Make a difference by donating your teddy bears and other stuffed animals at Alpha Phi’s Teddy Bear Drive AO is collecting teddy bears and other stuffed animals from the community to give to the boys & girls in pediatrics at St. Joseph’s Hospital.
