I didn't think much of Moby for a start but I've ended up liking Moby a lot.
My eldest son introduced us, via Play, and I begrudgingly started seeing the appeal.
The clincher was The Bourne Identity and the great use of Extreme Ways over the credits. Bam! There it is. Hooked.
I then got 18 and have been aboard since.
Slipping Away is lifted off his 2005 album Hotel (a rather spiffy album in the cannon) and has a very Moby like way of getting under your skin.
I like the fact that he's not a miserable git, nor is he preachy. The song is uplifting without being overly sentimental (an American condition) and thoughtful - 'hold on to people' is a good message.
Hidden gem: my 'hidden gem' idea doesn't really apply in this instance.
