moby - into the blue (summer night mix)

i picked up the cdsingle through a bargain bin and to be honest it was one of the moby tracks from this period i had never heard before in my life. but the original could have easily be a track from the play/18 era. it has that mellow nature and the notion that you might have heard it on some soundtrack (yeah, i know not the most original idea but it's true).

the remixes on the single had versions from junior vasquez, beatmasters, jon spencer and a rendition by moby himself. i had high hopes on vasquez' version and especially on jon spencer's rendition but they aren't anything special. the version that i fell in love is moby's own summer night mix which is quite nice. moby strips the track down to a simple lowkey backing track and goes off on the piano.

i do have to point out that this track isn't by far anything special since there are countless other tracks in this kind of style. most of them are either on chill out compilations or in the rotation of soft adult contemporary radio stations but yeah i quite like this one.
