MOBY DICKS NEW ORDER AROUND

MOBY has turned down NEW ORDER's offer of collaborating on their long-awaited new album NME.COM can exclusively reveal.

Despite having a life-long appreciation of both Joy Division and New Order Moby's busy schedule has prevented him from working on the record.

Speaking exclusively to NME.COM prior to a concert in Berlin he said: "I love New Order and I love what they do but I don't think we'll be collaborating in the near future. The fact is if I'm gonna have any time to work on music I have to be selfish and work on my own music."

Reminded of his previous admission that he would "do anything" to appear in 'Trainspotting' director Danny Boyle's proposed film about the two groups he admitted "I am honoured and completely flattered they asked me but I'm still going to have to say no."

NME out today in London (January 2) and nationwide from tomorrow (January 3).
