We have known each other for 12 years now, and during that time wehaven't really changed that much: We are still three guys mostlytalking about hihats and tape machines while hanging out in the studio. Moderat as a fusion of Modeselektor and Apparat is a mutual paththat hasn't been and will never been easy. Well, it's simply more than"just" making music together. It is, again and again, an experiment ofexploring our similarities and differences and to interlace them tosomething new and exciting. We are happy to share MODERAT "II" with you! Gernot, Szary & Sascha" Following the release of their new album, Moderat will embark on aworld tour with details to be announced in the coming weeks.

KGW Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I never heard the first album, although I loved Rusty Nails and I do think I'd like the album. Hard to get excited about something coming out in August thouhg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Moderat was quite possibly my favourite electronic album of the last decade. Seriously. Saw them live 3 times. Cant wait for this. AOTY is gonna be a tough choice for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 yes! first album was amazing (apart from the vocals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 really? Rusty nails and beatswaysick were class. As was let your love grow. Vocals very much part of the track makeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blir Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 I think the vocals were good, I quite like Sascha Ring, I just find his Apparat stuff boring for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobalina Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yeah, so far I want to like moderat more than I actually like moderat, maybe this release will change things. Not a huge fan of the vocals either, they're not necessarily bad, just bland and predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markedone Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Moderat 1 for me had a particularly great beginning (first 3 tracks) and end of the album (Les Grandes Marches through the end), but some mediocre filler in the middle. I always skipped the Paul St Hiliare and Delle vocal tracks, and stuff like Porc 1 & 2 was just alright, nothing special.The DVD for the release was certainly the highlight for me, those music videos and interludes are absolutely incredible. I hope there is more work with pfandfinderei for Moderat 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokn Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Wow, didn't thought of a a sequel so fast. It's welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drix Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Was put back by the release date as well... Too soon to get excited, but I really liked the first album. Saw them live once and it was great but was a bit too drunk to remember any details so hope I get the chance to see them again this time. Not a huge fan of Sasha's vocals either, but they were a lot better on the Moderat album than on his own work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumplings Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 It leaked. First run through, Bad Kingdom and Let in the Light standout so far. Both vocal tracks too. I can definitely see this as aoty contender. Solid stuff so far. I ordered the wax because the artwork is pretty cool, the deluxe LP reminiscent of Donkey Rhubarb EP.

Soloman Tump Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yeah I heard it leaked, think I'll restrain myself until the vinyl and deluxe CD turn up though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraveGlitcher Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 This ones definitely a grower, on the first run through I was kind of disappointed. Now after a second time it's really clicking, especially the vocal tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
