The Moderat thread (Apparat/Modeselektor collab)

So much so that I took it off my iPod.

"Sick With It" is great!

"Stick With It" is the weakest song on the album (although it's far from horrible).

This is my fave album of the year thus far.

"Sick With It" haters are crazy, it's awesome!

^^^ otm

And the rest of the record is good too!

^^^ otm*2

this album makes more sense to me in this rainy weather than it has all during the summer

looove 'Slow Match'

Listened to this album again the other day and realised it really is Apparat's contribution that makes Orchestra of Bubbles for me. There's a real 'Apparat sheen' that this, Walls and Bubbles all have in common that just does it for me. No other Ellen record has really matched up.

yeah but Ellen brings the fun(k)

srsly rusty nails

booka shade remix > original

Shackleton remix likewise

nah to the shackleton one tho it is awesome it is no replacement imo, but i haven't heard this booka shade one but imagine it wld be more up my alley

There's a new Moderat compilation called "50 weapons of choice #2-9" that's all remixes and stuff, but this 2009 album of theirs, man, wow. Just heard it again after a while and it's just phenomenal.

And it's another beaut.

it sure as hell is

okay I had to pause the stream for a while and when I came back, I lost track of where I was in the track listing but this dubby shuffle beat track is THE SHIT

(I originally wrote "is fucking THE TITS" but that didn't look right)

FYI the track I'm freaking out over is "Milk"

yeah this album is THE SHIT. let in the light, milk, therapy, damage done, and this time are all favorites

Versions and Therapy too... In fact, Gita is the only one I don't like (yet?)

Lovely stuff.

I like this but it doesn't feel any more or less of anything than the first.

i remember being disappointed by the first but this is v lovely - though i agree with boxedjoy that it's not really any different

I also agree with boxedjoy, only I adored the first one too

is this not what you wanted, or what you had in mind?

This is exactly what I wanted? I don't understand the question.

the first song of the album has those lyrics

Lol well I only played it once so

yeah, I guess not everyone is a savage who pirated it last month

why are these cunts going basically everywhere I am over the next few months but not on the same days

because your life is out of balance

xxpost: the Bad Kingdom single (with those lyrics) was released a month ago

Just received the deluxe edition, including booklet (pics & lyrics) and a bonus track that has lyrics and everything (was expecting some atmospheric/filler/instrumental track, but this is a full on ballad kinda song)

"Last Time" = bonus track title btw

I mean, I do really like this and I imagine once I've spent more time with it I'll be able to pick the two apart, but so far this just feels like the tempos are generally lower.

Modeselektor are generally a bit ignored these days aren't they? I loved their first two albums at the time but I'm scared what I'll discover when I listen back.

Modeselektor stands up IMO

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
