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

Was put off this for so long by the name. That is, saw moulton and assumed tom moulton, realised it was not actually tom moulton and did not continue reading. In fact, in my case, if his name had not had moulton in it, I would probably have listen to this guy about two months before I did (last week)

is this actually out in the uk ?
i've not seen a copy on any shelves yet

play.com have it listed but I've not physically seen it either - emailed my local rekkid shop about an hour ago to ask though so hopefully they'll know what's up

HMV Oxford Street have had some in (in the dance section). I got it off an Amazon seller pretty cheap.

ilx I kiss you for introducing me to this album. the packaging is amazing amazing amazing but somehow the music manages to be EVEN BETTER

WHAT IS WRONG WITH TOM MOULTON

No I love Tom Moulton, it's the disappointment that its not Tom Moulton that put me off for so long cos you know I see Moulton first. And, like, it's an unusual name.

did they fix this on itunes yet? i am confused now that beatport won't accept maestro and displays prices in dollars

got it (cd) in the mail half an hour ago! looks great indeed. artwork by wife/girlfriend, from what i gather from the sleevenotes. now, over to the music...

artwork by boris vallejo

Right now can't get over the ridiculous guitar solo on Sacrifice.

ilx I kiss you for introducing me to this album.

^^^this - pretty sure I wouldn't have seen anything about this if not for ILM, I think it's the first time in over a year I've bought anything directly cos ppl on here are talking about it.

Just halfway through first play now and this is great - 'The Sacrifice' is a funny curveball but I'm OK with that

Yeah, its like five seconds away from being on a guinness ad though

Also that is the keyboard player from Jellyfish playing keyboards on one track! Where the heck is Geir

Am still frustrated by my inability to like this record. The kneejerk "ew, trance" reaction is just too strong I think.

I've been thinking about buying this album from reading this thread, but I never would have thought it was "trance" from anything I'd read up till your post. Now I'm confused.

It's not trance, but there are certain similarities.

you should certainly buy it

"there are arpeggiated keybs" = "ew trance"?

maybe in the sense of klaus schulze's "en-trance"? that's also how I understand the guitar solos ... as a sort of pompous cosmic rock ref ... think eberhard schoener or vangelis or jan hammer or jarre ...

thank you ILM for reminding me how good my taste is ;-)

to be fair, i almost bought the ponty alb with "computer incantations for world peace" on it the other day but allan holdsworth's OTT guitar solos killed it for me.

^ that's a dollar record!

most of the tracks without holdsworth (three of them?) are dope, the tracks with holdsworth are sort of questionable (two or three of them) and there's a short classical interlude that's sort of boring. i do regret picking it up but then i never listen to my andreas vollenweider discs either ...

^^ this album sounds nothing like vollenweider or ponty, btw, except inasmuch as there are arpeggiated keyboards

i wanna hear this

still streams from his http://www.myspace.com/alexmoulton

thanks

is the itunes fixed yet

A: no, it isn't

Don't know if you're in the UK gbx, but I downloaded it from Juno - £5.99 for 192, but they have higher bit rates too.

Sounds great so far. Thanks everyone for the heads up.

I got it here for 8 bucks, 320kbps: https://www.dancetracksdigital.com/

streamed it on the myspace finally

whoa

really really feelin this right now, the stretch from paradise to vicious to pandemonium is reminiscent of a funkier, less in your face, force of nature IMO. love the afro-beatey bits too though (not of those songs but used throughout)

so fun to watch the olympics with the sound off and listen to this

I'm pleased to announce that the iTunes and Amazon versions of the album are now correct and properly gapless. No one could quite explain what went wrong with the encoding before, but rest assured if you buy the album now it can be heard as I intended it... and it only took three months to solve. Sorry. ;-)

Just to reiterate from a previous post - there are still two versions available. The "normal" digital stores (iTunes, Zune etc.) have the CD version which is gapless (as it was meant to be). Beatport, Dancetracks Digital and the DJ-oriented sites have the DJ versions of the songs (i.e. full with no crossfades).

And my offer still stands that if you bought a digital copy of Exodus and the last 2 seconds of each song are silent, then email me your receipt and I'll send you 320kbps mp3 files of the proper version. alex (at) expansionteamrecords.com

Hope you're all still enjoying the record. The live show is coming soon... New DJ mixes are up on http://www.myspace.com/alexmoulton

Alex Moulton

cool man. i think i like this better than the lindstrom record.

got any download links for those mixes so i can take them with me (and not be subjected to the hell that is myspace)?

hey mikebee - links are now up for the two latest mixes so you can download them. Check out Big Shot Magazine too - got a new guest mix up there, and Viva Radio/American Apparel is airing yet another new mix sometime in the next two weeks or so. Lots of space funk goodness to go around!

hey!

my friend bought this off the itunes store (canada) and it was all messed up! just FYI.

love this wall of records. i can name 23 of the 36

http://newsflash.bigshotmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/alex-moulton.jpg

well, 32

yeah, it's a killer photo!

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.

All the people who took Gang Gang Dance away from the albums poll and not this fucked up imo

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
