alex moulton: lindstrom meets klaus schulze meets alan braxe meets hakan lidbo meets vangelis

thanks man! if you ever come out west and feel like doing some sort of instore promo thing (like a DJ set) in the shop i buy for, hit me up at amoeba electro at g mail dot com. we dig the album lots!

links are now up for the two latest mixes so you can download them.

the spacesexxx mix is huge fun, ta alex.

still no sign of this album in uk shops - anyone seen it ?

sacrifice is the jam tho isn't it

so this ended up being one of my absolute favourite albums of 2008. i was blasting it in the sunshine on christmas day and it sounded better than ever.

I'm actually curious to know what the records are, I can only identify Mandrill, Earth Wind & Fire, Jean Michel Jarre and the Commodores.

Immediately below top left is Electric Light Orchestra's A New World Record and two to the right is Miles Davis' Live Evil

also, berlin - plesure victim; bob james - three, 2001 ost, moroder - munich machine, bros. jonson, robin trower, MECO, vangelis, etc.

2nd from top left is Mandrill, I would presume

Oh, right. You said that. Bottom right is Herbie Hancock's Thrust

This wall basically looks like what someone might have been listening to when making Exodus. Crazy, huh?

and oshit, yesterdays. I thought that was yessongs at first, but i checked and it wasn't, but it is so obvs roger dean.

and cameo on the bottom row 2nd from left

I was trying to figure out what that one was cause I knew that I knew. I just wasn't in tune w/ that part of my memory.

I have a feeling that far right below salsoul orchestra is an anime ost

Have I mentioned how much I love the drum sound on this record?

1: ?, mandrill "s/t", sun "destination sun", berlin "pleasure victim", bob james "3", salsoul orchestra "magic journey"

2: elo "a new world record", ?, miles davis "live evil", 2001 space odyssey ost, Munich Machine "Introducing The Midnite Ladies", ?

3: brothers johnson "blam!!", (blocked), ?, some roger dean thing, ?, ?

4: ?, (blocked), Meco "Encounters Of Every Kind", Commodores "Greatest Hits", meco "star wars", vangelis "spiral"

5: klaus schulze "blackdance", (blocked), jean michelle jarre "oxygene", (i've seen but forget this one), chocolate milk "milky way", earth wind & fire "spirit"

6: gil scott heron & brian jackson "1980", (blocked), robin trower "Twice Removed From Yesterday", earth wind & fire "all and all", Cameo "Cameosis", herbie hancock "thrust"

the one directly above vangelis is K-tel's Full Tilt compilation. wanna know what's the one next to it though, it's got what looks like the words Space Adventure on it.

Miles Davis Live-Evil - now, there's an album. One of my best rediscoveries of last year.

yesterdays is pretty sweet if you can find it. then you don't have to listen to the crap on the first two yes albums

why did the lede of that article have to be "In the Web 2.0 era,"

i dont understand why the album got a 6.9

not web 2.0 enough

coz its sexy xpost

In the Web 2.0 era, the successor to the concept album seems to be its user-generated counterpart, the mix CD.

hey watch out im about to be that internet guy who obsessively picks apart pitchfork reviews but i think its silly of this writer to toss out this sentence with absolutely not explanation or followup! and then come back to it in the final sentence as though we had been keeping the concepts in our minds the whole time when it barely made sense at the very start!

thats what im saying dog

it's like.. in this crazy world, people are making mix cds, this guy didn't, but it makes you think!

but its even more complicated than that, its "what a world we live in, where mix cds have succeeded concept albums [ed note: wtf], and here is this dude, who made both, at the same time"

ya but he didnt - he never explains why this is as much mix cd as concept album

sigh

dont sigh at me

attn: pitchfork editors

my review for this cd would have been 40 times more rad, im thinking, a 7-8,000 word outline of the story moulton sketches w/ his synths, featuring a nonlinear timeline and (probably) sex, and someone would have died at the end.

and now u can never have it, because instead u gave the album a 6.9 and 800 words about web 2.0 ... besides im writing about tv for the new yorker so suck it

mention the fever ray thing too - might as well

hardbraggin'

damn max u writing for the nyer???

im trying homie, with ur support i can make it, by support i mean, you need to merk nancy franklin

one step ahead of you

wait nancy franklin? totally misread. never mind

lol r.i.p. http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2008/08/nancy_pelosi_smaller.jpg
