Reprise (Moby album)

It features orchestral and acoustic arrangements of songs from his career, performed by the Budapest Art Orchestra, a string quartet, along with multiple guest artists.

When it came to recording the final orchestral parts, orchestras based in London, Berlin, and Memphis, Tennessee were considered but decided against.

[12] The Independent critic recalled that “the original tracks felt as though they were recorded under the adrenalin of artificial lights, but these reworkings are flooded with daylight.

It’s as though Moby is opening the curtains after a party, smoothing down the soft furnishings and carefully placing the crockery in the sink.

The tracks lose their tension but gain an orderly, classical frame.”[14] According to Gary Ryan of NME, Reprise is “full of dignified reworkings that don’t offer too many surprises”.
