III is really growing on me

I've heard the first half, there are a lot more vocals that on their other albums (that's not necessarily a bad thing, but I like when they mix it up between tracks with vocals and vocal-free bangers)

I was at a wedding so I'm a bit drunk and this might not make any sense tomorrow but I just heard this album and life of pablo by Kanye and it's so noticeable how superior the production is on this album. Wishful thinking but i'd love to have moderat producing a kanye album. This is just sooo good a production and Kanye clearly wants to sound this good in his backtracks but doesn't know how. The mastering is fucking terrible on kanye and I want Moderat to shine in the mainstream because both modeselektor and apparat are so brilliant that they deserve to be known worldwide.
Don't mind me doesn't make sense but I'm drunk and I want to hear a moderat produced mainstream album.

Yep that doesn't make any sense. This is a brilliant album though. Everyone hear it, now!

This album has really grown on me. Once I got used to the idea of a slickly produced electronic pop/R&B album with little connection to anything "techno", it was smooth sailing.

agree 100% with this.
i got the 2cd edition on a whim last week and was somewhat taken aback as i expected more of a techno vibe, but given that i love the Rhye album, this has totally clicked with me now.

I find some of his vocals on this album a bit syrupy and overdone.

Theres a 2.5hr live album now, haven't heard yet

It's 75 minutes, Plus one track that contains the whole show again in one gapless file.

Ah, well, that makes sense

Was playing one of the angstier Moderat tunes the other day, girlfriend walks in and says 'what are you doing listening to Coldplay?' which has put me off them a bit. It's true he could do with toning down the vox sometimes.

They are playing live at Roskilde this summer. Should I see them?
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:57 (seven years ago) link
yes.

There's an old DJ Shadow track I loved that my wife ruined by saying it sounded like John Farnham, which is a mad opinion and also unlikely to make sense to non-Australians

I missed the release of Moderat II - 10th Anniversary Sped-up Edition and... it's a funny novelty release? I'm trying to figure out if it's basically the 33 1/3 album played at 45rpm
