A review by Andrew Cone:

ArtistTitleFormatRating[out of 10]
Moby"Drop A Beat"CD Single4.5
Instinct records decided, despite Moby's objections, to release this single. It had already been released before, under a different name, and the "Deep Mix", while trancey, isn't that hot. One of the b-sides is a track off of his self-titled disc, and the other, "UHF 2", is actually kind of fun, but nothing intense. Nevertheless, "Drop A Beat" is a good song, and it's easy to see why Moby didn't want this released: it doesn't do alot with the songs potential, or explore it in any way. This, too, is out of print.
