Picking Up The Slack For MTV: Moby with Wayne Coyne - "The Perfect Life" (NSFW)


After a decade of laying relatively low Moby is back and it looks like he wants a taste of the sweet success he found when he introduced mainstream audiences and Madison Avenue ad execs to electronica with his mega platinum selling Play. Teaming up with the ubiquitous Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne for the soulfully stirring "The Perfect Life," Richard has gone for his vintage sound: gently textured electronics unobtrusively backing humanist neo gospel vocals that make you want to buy something or sit in a park. The video qualifies as vintage Wayne Coyne lunacy/boilerplate: our heroes decked out in Mariachi suits, walking the streets of your town USA, singing and bringing joy to the masses while encountering Burger King, dancing gimps, scantily clad women, and roller-skating ghosts. Watch, enjoy, but instead of buying something, hug somebody.
