Review

After recording a string of dance classics culminating with the pop hit "Go," Moby released his full-length debut balancing those songs with a few decidedly inventive album tracks. Moby's melodic sense developed much quicker than other early techno producers; despite the criticisms leveled at his later direction (or lack thereof), his first album is a masterpiece of challenging, unrepetitive, beautifully programmed rave-techno. Though the familiar tracks "Drop a Beat," "Next Is the E," and "Go" are the highlights here, the final two tracks, "Slight Return" and "Stream," are fine examples of early chill-out techno. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

Moby is the debut album released by Moby in 1992.

This album was subsequently re-released in 1993 as The Story So Far, with a different track lineup, and slightly different cover art, which incorporates the different title. The song "Go" samples Laura Palmer's theme from Twin Peaks, as well as the titular vocal from the song "Go!" by Tones on Tail. In the UK, the release dropped "Drop a Beat" in favour of "Thousand", the b-side to "I Feel It".
