The ambitious "Exodus" is a mind-blowing sci-fi/fantasy concept album that falls between the classic synthesizer palette of Vangelis and thrusting post-modern disco of Daft Punk. Metropolis meets Tron meets Jean Michael Jarre meets Giorio Moroder.

Instead of randomly lining up thirteen songs, Moulton concepted an entire musical storyline that follows all the plot twists and turns. The result is an incredibly compelling space opera, an epic sci-fi adventure for the dancefloor. The songs are presented continuously like a DJ set, but they're also
like key scenes for a film that listeners can make up while listenting to the album.

The iTunes generation of artists no longer develops albums that present one, coherent story, but rather emphasizes the production of songs that can be marketed as singles. "Although I understand the reasons why, it makes me sad that the album
format is breathing its last breath," Moulton explains in a press release. "So just as the
final nail is being driven into the coffin, I wanted to honor the
tradition of the great epic concept albums of the late '70s."

"It's
possible I may be among the last generation that spent hours listening
to LPs, staring at gatefold covers and imagining the world that the
music painted in my head, and that's the experience I wanted to
recreate with Exodus. I believe those moments turn someone into a real
music lover�it doesn't come from listening to singles," he adds.

Moulton worked with a slew of collaborators to put together "Exodus," including Grammy-winning engineer Marc Urselli and Nilesh Patel of Daft Punk and Chemical Brothers fame. The disc's incredible artwork was was created by legendary fantasy artists Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell.
