Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Moby started as a New York City crate diver before taking some hard left turns in his career and isolating his small fanbase, then rising like the phoenix again on a wave of commercial licensing. The guys get together to talk about selling out, additive sampling practices, and going up against Eminem.
