The High Road

Limited to 100 copies! Electro-infused gothic new-wave industrial-drone. The Present Moment came out of just that. A moment in time where change was influx and there was a chance to venture into new territories musically. Scott Milton, The Present Moment main man, wanted to start giving birth to the musical ideas inside his head, out of the band construct. An ever evolving page where he could start this idea and watch it grow, out of intention and into a real living musical organism. For now he's choosen to create and let the process unfold on its own. In the heat of LA under his black hood, Scott Milton, member of Catalog and Moodorgan, made a mixture of electro pop music sprinkled with dark glow under the name of The Present Moment. With influences ranging from the electro-glam sound of bands like Visage, Human League and Heaven 17, to the more industrial beats of Nine Inch Nails, COIL, Ministry and Throbbing Gristle, with a haze of gothic rock (early Adam & The Ants, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Alien Sex Fiend), The Present Moment presents The High Road, his first full length album. Originally released on the US label Disaro as a limited edition CD-r, The High Road is now out available on Desire Records as a limited CD-r. The High Road contains ten tracks penned and produced by Scott Milton with the help of his longtime friend Phillip Muench (The Rorschach Garden, Synpscape) on the title track and "The Damage Is Loved." It also includes two great covers: "Candy-O," originally written by Ric Ocasek for The Cars, and "Season of the Witch," written by the English psychedelic troubadour Donovan.
