“Go” by Moby

"Go" first slipped out in 1990 on Moby's Mobility EP for Instinct Records, then came back as a single in March 1991, the first one taken from what became his self-titled 1992 debut album. Moby co-wrote and produced it, and he hung the whole thing on a sample from the TV series Twin Peaks, with Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch sharing the writing credit. It's a small-screen sample strapped to a club beat and made to sweat.

It caught fire: top ten in Britain and the Netherlands, number one on Music Week's dance singles chart, 18 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play list. By December, NME had it at number 41 among its singles of the year, and Ondrej Rudavský directed the video.
