More Info:
With DESTROYED,Moby introduces the listener to the strange and disconcerting life of touring that is not often exposed -- the time spent isolated in anonymous,mundane hotel rooms,airports,and backstage waiting areas. These experiences are then juxtaposed with moments of intense beauty and excitement,such as the connection that can be felt with an audience.With touring comes extensive worldwide travel,and Moby has fallen prey to insomnia most of his adult life,a condition he turns to his advantage.All of the songs on DESTROYED were written by Moby on the road during the small hours of the night,when his insomnia was in full tilt.The silent urban nightscapes provided much inspiration for this album. To illustrate the music on DESTROYED,a book of the same name with 55 of Moby's photographs will be released simultaneously.These shots were taken around the world while he was on tour,illustrating the sense of contrasting emotions Moby feels during that time.
