Weidenbaum: Can we talk about one track in more detail, perhaps "Run On"? I'm unclear the extent to which the overlapping of the vocals is part of the original composition and to what extent it's something done in the studio.
Moby: Most of that is part of the original composition.
Weidenbaum: Can you talk a bit about how you came across this particular bit of music and built on it?
Moby: I bought this Columbia Records compilation, called There Will Be No Sweeter Sound, which is a collection of the Okeh label's gospel stuff, and the nice thing about these old gospel records is that they're all a cappella. "Run On" is a traditional old gospel song I've got a version of Elvis Presley singing it and I sampled it and sort of chopped it up a little bit so it would fit within the framework that I was writing for it, but it was just a straightforward case of sampling the vocals and playing with them just a little bit so they would fit into the song.
