I agree BellG. Moby has never been NYC music. It sounds much more like LA, for sure.

Yah! These critics forgot to mention the founding of the Lustrum Press NY who published many great Photographers in monograph form Like Robert Frank Larry Clark & Michael Martone as well the work of it's founder Ralph Gibson but what do they know? History fades fast.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but exactly none of Moby's songs evoke New York for me - not even the "the emerging values of the new downtown: the obsession with “nobody else has it” vintage and the seamless fusion of culture and money." Nope, sorry. It's just not NY to me - instead it's very LA.

Quick, it’s not too late to make it up them by buying their hefty, back-slapping issue and acting like you give a shit. Wow. Your writing is always shot through with a strange kind of hate.
