Play is the fifth studio album by American electronica musician Moby, released on May 17, 1999, by V2 Records. It was recorded at his Little Italy apartment in New York City.
While some of Moby's earlier work garnered critical and commercial success within the electronic dance music scene, Play was both a critical success and a commercial phenomenon. The album introduced Moby to a worldwide mainstream audience, not only through a large number of hit singles (that helped the album to dominate worldwide charts for two years), but also through unprecedented licensing of his music in films, television, and commercial advertisements. It eventually became the biggest-selling album of its genre, with over 12 million copies sold worldwide.
In 2003, the album was ranked number 341 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. It was nominated for both a Grammy Award and Brit Award, was the UK's biggest selling independent album of 2000, and certified platinum status in more than 20 countries.
Richard Melville Hall (born September 11, 1965), better known by his stage name Moby, is an American singer-songwriter, musician, DJ and photographer. He is well known for his electronic music, vegan lifestyle, and support of animal rights. Moby has sold over 20 million albums worldwide.AllMusic considers him "one of the most important dance music figures of the early 1990s, helping bring the music to a mainstream audience both in the UK and in America".
Moby gained attention in the early 1990s with his electronic dance music work, which experimented in the techno and breakbeat hardcore genres. With his fifth studio album, the electronica and house music-influenced Play, he gained international success. Originally released in mid-1999, the album sold 6,000 copies in its first week, and it re-entered the charts in early 2000 and became an unexpected hit, producing eight singles and selling over 10 million copies worldwide. Moby followed the album in 2002 with 18, which was also successful, selling over 5 million copies worldwide and receiving mostly positive reviews, though some criticized it for being too similar to Play.
The Moby programming language is an experiment in computer programming, design and implementation.The Moby project started out as a testbed for the design of ML2000.
Moby is primarily a collaboration between Kathleen Fisher and John Reppy. Much of the work on Moby was done while John Reppy was an MTS at Bell Labs in the Computing Sciences Research Center.

Hermoso tema en vivo. Esta canción de Moby, era interpretada por Diane Charlemagne (Q.E.P.D.). Me encanta esta canción porque refleja la tristeza del alma y del corazón inexplicable pero a la vez tiene un coro de esperanza.

[ Kitty ]
There's a book a whole more precious than anything on earth
No wealth of gold or jewels are equal to its worth
I go to it in trouble when my heart is sick and sore
I always find a comfort my soul is searching for
The Bible is the written word the living word you see
My Bible and my Saviour are all the same to me
The more I read the more I know he cares and understands
And when I read my Bible my Saviour holds my hand
[ guitar ]
The Bible is the best for me its teachings are so true
And when I've searched with open mind it tells me what to do
And when I'm sad and lonely it always gives me rest
Of all the other books I find my Bible is the best
