Moby's newest release is a compilation of his contributions to popular movies and shows, including "Twin Peaks," The Saint, Scream and Tomorrow Never Dies (the upcoming James Bond movie). Moby emerged in the early 90s as one of the vanguards of dance and techno music, and I Like to Score gives the listener a good taste of the depth and versatility of this outspoken artist's musical talent...

Its swaggering, foul-mouthed and lavishly rewarded traders epitomized the masters-of-the-universe Wall Street culture of the 1980s. That swagger was staggered by a government bond-trading scandal in 1991 from which the firm never really recovered. Needing to broaden its portfolio beyond bonds to stay competitive, Salomon CEO Deryck Maughan approached Weill in August with a proposal.
