He has still produced a few gems despite all the hoopla.

Go is one of the best house/dance tracks ever put down:

a bunch of has-beens redoing an 'intellectualized' version of The Blair Witch Project crossed with The Cube - like the 'depth' of their pseudo philosophical rarablings will negate the fact that a typical cardboard box has a greater ability to emote.
 
His chillout stuff is incredibly dull. If I can take something as long and uneventful as Earth 2 and actually enjoy it and be bored by Last Night, clearly there are problems.
 
Moby's problem is that he has invested too much of his personal beliefs into his music through artwork, liner notes etc that people are unsure as to his motives regarding music.

Does his music come first or his beliefs? He has made some dull music but then so have many artists and if you listen to his 1995 album Everything Is Wrong you can hear an artist that doesn't give 2 craps about convention and it's an album very much of it's time but also very expansive musically.

Moby's downfall is that for his own eclectic tastes and talent, he never seems to test himself musically too much and play's safe far too much for his own good.

I've never heard Moby described better by anyone. He's not my go to guy, and I fear his nerdish reputation put electronic music back by a few years, but I still like to listen to him on occasion.
