Hotel Ambient was originally part of the extremely limited edition of the Hotel album, released in 2005. This bonus album, which unveils some of MOBY's most sublime and immersive works, is now released in a remastered version and includes unreleased tracks. Hotel Ambient takes stock of MOBY's roots, highlighting his diverse influences, ranging from Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and Brian Eno, to Derrick May's revolutionary techno in Detroit, to the experimental IDM of early Warp releases.
