Moby
Moby — Richard Melville Hall, from a Connecticut squat to selling twenty million records. The whole forty-year arc: the hardcore-punk kid, the early-90s rave hero of "Go", the ambitious "Everything Is Wrong", the guitar detour of "Animal Rights", and then Play — the 1999 album that licensed every track and sold twelve million — through 18, Hotel, the David-Lynch-directed "Wait for Me", the Void Pacific Choir, the orchestral Reprise, and his latest work. The music, the videos, the live shows, the story behind the songs, and the lifelong vegan-and-animal-rights activism.
A chronological documentary of 572 moments on Loreline.
