Moby - Play (1999)
I can’t believe this is getting close to 2 decades old (give or take a couple of years). The perfect feel good, no-brainer record for a Friday night.

This features orchestral treatments of Moby songs (there’s also a lovely reinterpretation of one of my least favorite Bowie songs “Heroes” which I can fully tolerate and appreciate one this).
The whole record works really well with the addition of several guest vocalists on key tracks.
The hardcore Moby fans hate it - which is nice!
This really is a classical record and is produced by Deutsche Grammofon, a classical music label established in 1898.
