Ambient
Ambient is the second studio album by American electronica musician Moby. It was released on August 17, 1993 and received mediocre reviews; Moby did not gain any real acclaim for his 1990s electronic dance music albums until he released Everything Is Wrong in 1995. Ambient, unlike most other Moby studio albums, has never been re-released in a special edition or a remastered issue.
