Yes, that's right, Moby did in fact have some excellent material early in his career before achieving mainstream success and losing some credibility from the underground. "Ambient" was released in 1993 during Moby's acid house and techno phase to juxtapose his upbeat club tracks (downtempo served the purpose of "comedown" music at that time, offering a soundtrack for the wee hours of the morning after a long night out). "Heaven" is simply a masterpiece of ambient techno and deep house. This track sounds as gorgeous and pulsing as anything put out by Kompakt Records, and actually predates that scene by 5 years.
