Release

"Next Is the E" was released on October 28, 1992. The single peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.[1] It was featured on the soundtrack of the 1992 film Cool World.

In the United Kingdom, the track was renamed "I Feel It",[2] due to Moby's record company's concerns over what appeared to be a reference to the drug ecstasy in the original title. Released as a double A-side single with "Thousand", it peaked at number 33 on the UK Singles Chart.[3]

Critical reception

Music writer James Masterton wrote in his weekly UK chart commentary, "His first chart outing since ["Go"] is this, another semi-instrumental dance hit although in a rather more high powered vein. Maybe not a massive smash but worth seeing it in the charts if only to hope that he makes a return to Top Of The Pops."[4]
