Does he go into why he is dismantling his studio? Or are these 'seconds' th=
at aren't wired in his studio?  Did he go full Ableton or Reason?

Never was a big fan of Moby but he does have some great tracks and as an ea=
rly 90's NYC Raver it was fun seeing him play and then watch him pop up on =
TV over the years.

I'm curious what Alex Patterson from The Orb and Liam Howlett from The Prod=
igy are holding onto vs. actively using.  Part of it is the journey of havi=
ng used the classics in the classic age and how they have changed or not wi=
th the technology of the time.

As for the cause, it seems worthy as the medical system in the U.S. Has odd=
 priorities.  I'm not a vegetarian, I'm a hunter, but not into animal abuse=
 or testing if it can be avoided.  If Israel can have world class medicine =
with no research morgues (tradition states you should bury the dead the sam=
e day or some such, no practice on corpses or so I am told by Israeli frien=
ds) then I'm sure there are ways to be less dependent or routine animal suf=
fering.

I knew someone who practiced heart transplants on dogs.  After the successf=
ul transplant, the dogs are put down.  Not cool. =20
