This is incredible. Narkopop11, the vinyl exclusive track blows my mind. The horns are so triumphant. I listened to that track 3 times in a row after listening to the whole album.
Yeah this is an enjoyable album. More appealing than a generic dub-techno album for me. The use of some what "pop" vocals makes it stand out. "Got To Carry On" is a nice anthem to end the album on. I don't really see the point in the 15 minutes of ambient at the end.
I don't see how it's a surprise... it's in the same style as several tracks from the last album (Let In The Light, Damage Done, This Time, Last Time and to a lesser extent Bad Kingdom). No doubt the album will have some more intense and beat-heavy tracks to go with the emotional stuff.
Modeselektor is just that, this is Modeslektor + Apparat, however and Apparat has for a long time been heavy on the emotional vocals.
I liked the song and hope for more of the same on the album.
That artwork is amazing.
They've also used a similar art-style on the Wolfgant Voigt album they are releasing.

Not a bad start for a new label, deepchord and Wolfgang Voigt.
I think you're probably right on the first comment. I haven't listened to it anywhere near as much (really waiting for the CD), but I have a feeling this could be up there with Homogenic and Vespertine.
