Rating: Summary: Missing the Mark, and hitting my wallet! Review: 1. Where was the SouthSide video on this DVD? That's why I bought the DVD, and one of his biggest bestest video's is missing in action, nowhere to be found on this DVD. The only 'southside' clip on this DVD are a couple of 'very bad' remixes. 2. Several of the older vids/mixes have terrible pops and clicks from the 'vinel' records used for some of the mixes. A higher bit of quality control and clean-up would have prevented this. Please don't tell me I spent 2K on a video/audio system to hear that 'snap crackle pop' as clear as a bell. DUH! 3. None of the older videos have been cleaned up. There was quite a bit of 'video noise' and sad color saturation that just blew this DVD out of the running as anything other than marketing hype. 4. I'm sad that "MOBY" didn't take a greater interest in this DVD, other than to help sweep more tape off the cutting room floor!
Rating: Summary: Moby does it again Review: After rushing to the record store in time to pick up the last and few remaining "Moby Play the DVD" and sitting down putting my eyes and ears to the tube ---- another great release from a talented artist named Moby. The acoustic version of NEW DAWN FADES and the optional 5.1 sound selection impressed me alot. The DVD offers different footage from concerts, music videos, T.V. appearences, and yes Moby with a Sony Handycam. The Megamix selection is pretty cool. It's remixed versions of songs played over different picture formats, interesting. One point that I want to add is that previous albums by Moby such as I LIKE TO SCORE, PLAY, EVERYTHING IS WRONG...etc are great albums but why are most fans that I have heard or read about are down on the album ANIMAL RIGHTS? Nonsense..........
Rating: Summary: The perfect visual counterpart to the 'Play' album Review: As a newbie in Moby matters (started seriously paying attention to his work, like lots of people, since the release of "Play") When I first heard of the upcoming release of this DVD, I could hardly contain my excitement.The DVD is made up of a combination of previously seen material with some new things worth seeing: -Play the videos: for the most part it's a compilation of videos from songs of the 'Play' album. Yes; incredibly missed here is a video for the song that Moby came to re-record alongside beautiful Gwen Stefani, "South Side." -Moby's Megamix: Moby's Megamix: 90 minutes of remixes of Play's very best, which are synched to some very nice visuals ranging from kaleidoskopic views, to the most hypnotic takes you can imagine. It equally makes an excellent audiovisual background to the intro or the highest point any party you may throw at your place. -Give an Idiot a Camcorder: features shots of Moby by himself while on tour, doing accents (Scottish, English with a French accent), including a not-so-glorious spot of him in a toilet, among other things. -Live on TV Jools Holland: some (6) live TV appearances, where he plays some of his material as well as a long time Joy Division favorite of his. -Play the computer: you can remix your own version of Moby's music. Overall, a must for any serious Moby fan.
Rating: Summary: Play...it again Review: As someone who was mesmerized by the Play album, I was delighted that this DVD was released. Thankfully, it is not just a compilation of the videos produce for the music from the CD. This disc includes a handful of videos never released in the United States. Overall, the videos released from the CD were exceptional. None were just your regular, boring video that a lot of artists produce. They are definitely above par. The Moby's Megamix that is contained on this DVD is also superb. It is a continuous barrage of remixes of songs from the CD with accompanying visuals. Play the DVD and go to the Megamix for some great remixes, but don't forget to pay attention to the visuals too. Some of them are worth seeing. Give an Idiot a Camcorder was a riot too. You get to peak into the psyche of Moby. He is actually a very hilarious guy. Loved the various "characters" he played. And one cannot forget the fish puppet. The live performances offered on this DVD are also excellent. I had never seen them before. They are a nice addition to the DVD. This could have been just another one of those compilations of music videos, but thankfully Moby knows what his fans want and has the creativity to come up with something better than the norm. If you are a Moby fan, buy this DVD. If you are not yet a Moby fan...buy this and you soon will be.

Rating: Summary: a visual and audio treat of all things Moby Review: Having watched this DVD a number of times over the last 18 months, it's still lots of fun to watch and to listen to. Briefly, there are the 'play' videos, megamixes of 'play' tracks, an amateur movie shot by Moby on tour, and a live set recorded in Britain that's taken from the 'Jools Holland' music show. I'd forgotten how inventive the 'play' videos were, and many of the megamixes sound like great techno grooves, although some of the megamix visuals look no more exciting than computer screensavers from a decade ago. Moby's movie is funny, and he's quite a comedian with a grim sense of humor. What originally attracted me to buying this DVD was the live 'Jools Holland' set, as I've worn out a video I'd recorded from the original television show that was broadcast back in the year 2000. Those live numbers are just sensational but the whole set clocks in at just 23 minutes. Extra live cuts from other shows would have made this DVD brilliant for me, and that's why I can give this disc only 4 stars out of 5.
Rating: Summary: Moby is as good an actor as he is a musician Review: I had been toying with buying this for three months, finally I broke down and bought it. Wow, why did I wait so long. I think that DVD is the way to buy music now. This album was incredible to begin with, but now being able to listen to it in 5.1 audio, wow. The video's are excellent. The remixed songs are fantastic, and the clublike videos that play on top of the remixs are pretty cool...that 20 minute "Give an idiot a camcorder" is hilarious. Moby is too cool for words.
Rating: Summary: Wow... This DVD is Amazing Review: I have never written a review before... it always seemed kind of like a waste of time. However, this DVD is wonderful. If you are considering purchasing it and you like Moby (especially live) I would highly recommend this DVD.
