"Hymn" is a song by American electronica musician Moby. It was released as the first single from his third studio album Everything Is Wrong on May 16, 1994. The single version, which was radically remixed from the album original and retitled "Hymn (This Is My Dream)", peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] A 33-minute ambient remix was released as "Hymn.Alt.Quiet.Version".
Critical reception[]
Andy Beevers from Music Week gave it four out of five. He wrote, "Moby can always be relied on to come up with a novel and commercial twist on the house formula. This time he goes for a full-blown choral treatment with the hard-edged synth sounds."[2]
