Moby feat. Mylene Farmer – Slipping Away (Crier La Vie)
Elize – 100%

Edward on Enthusiastic But Mediocre mentioned this version of Slipping Away a while back but I haven’t heard it until now, and it’s great. The album / remixed versions I heard before without Mylene Farmer’s vocal were nothing to write home about–they were pretty typical of Moby’s output post-Play: mediocre-to-okay songs that lack the emotional kick (not to mention the samples) that made Play so great. But Mylene Farmer is fantastic and her vocal really makes this song beautiful. And Elize–her album came out recently, and after hearing and loving Automatic and Into Your System as singles, I was a bit disappointed by the album as a whole. This is electropop but Elize is not Rachel Stevens. But 100% is good–it starts out sounding very Kylie and soon launches into a very catchy (if slightly cheesy, in an 80s movie sports montage kind of way) chorus.
