Into the Blue (Moby song)
"Into the Blue" is a song by American electronica musician Moby, released as the fourth single from his third studio album, "Everything Is Wrong" on June 19, 1995. American musician Mimi Goese co-wrote the song with Moby and provided the vocals. The song is slow and melancholy, a stark contrast to the first four singles from the album. The single peaked at number 34 on the UK Singles Chart. In one of the remixes, the "Spiritual Remix", Joy Division's song "Atmosphere" is prominently sampled and sequenced. Jon Spencer, frontman of American alternative rock  band Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and a friend of Moby, contributed the blues-influenced "Into the Blues Mix" to the single, and in turn Moby remixed one of the band's own tracks. Critical reception. A reviewer from "Music & Media" said, "First he's raving, then he's pop as pop could be. Into The Blue belongs to the latter category. It would almost be MOR material if the beats weren't that prominent." Brad Beatnik from British magazine "Music Week"'s "RM" Dance Update wrote, "What an oddity. The original album mix is a beautiful haunting cut featuring the  soaring vocals of Mimi Goese – as brilliantly showcased on Later with Jools Holland recently. Here, Junior Vasquez turns the track into a mid-tempo garage-ish cut that sort of works. His Sound Factory Dub toughens things up nicely and there are also Beatmasters and Jon Spencer mixes."
