Funny, it was your "Moby" post that made me pull it up - I typed "Moby" in iTunes and one his tracks "Summer" is one of the 24 tracks on the double CD set
It is mostly electronic instrumental tracks from a lot of different artists - I like it a lot - one of the more well known tracks on it is
A.F Study II by Aural Float if that helps at all ?
I first discovered Moby some years ago, maybe 10 or 12 now. I'm a big fan of the TV show The X-Files and 2 of Moby's songs were used in the season 7, episode 17 show called "
All Things." This episode, directed by Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully), was also the first X-Files episode to be directed by a woman. Gillian chose Moby's work to use as the lyrics seemed to fit the script quite well for her vision of the episode. I recall seeing, or maybe reading an interview with her about this and I seem to remember she said she first heard this song,
The Sky is Broken, on the radio one night while driving home and it spoke to her and she wanted to work it into the show at some point. The other Moby song used in the episode is "
My Weakness."
When the episode opens, just after the credits, this song (The Sky is Broken) is playing and the ambiance of the scene and the subsequent scene where it is still playing also spoke to me and I had to find out what song this was and get my hands on it. I've since purchased several of his albums and quite enjoy his style of music.
As for the song "
Summer" you referred to, that is from the companion album to "Play" titled "Play: The B Sides." It's an excellent song and in fact all of the songs on "The B Sides" are amazing. I think I enjoy the companion album just a tad more than the "Play" album itself.
