While listening to filmmaker David Lynch speak at the BAFTA Awards in February 2008, Moby had an epiphany. The album resulting from this epiphany, Wait for Me, is a radical departure from Moby's recent albums last year's paean to the dance floor, LAST NIGHT, 2008's flirtation with modern rock, Hotel, the shimmering ambience of 2002's 18, and the zeitgeist defining melancholy electronica of 1999's PLAY. Liberated from the pressures of trying to please himself at the same time as the industry, in making WAIT FOR ME Moby decided to forego the expensive studios, state of the art equipment, big name guest artists, and phalanxes of graphic designers and image consultants that have characterized some of his previous albums.
