I csnt believe these guys are from the same days as me. I can imagine a gig with this music playing, i am there. The best this germans ever gave us, humanity is the music. Other things but jesus Christ the music. I met a guy in rome wearing a moderat t-shirt. Obviously i said hello. We talked about our lives for 30 minutes. What a journey, a pleasure. Thank you. Bonobo, fink, thievery co, Lamb, Thom Yorke, for taking our music somewhere we always needed. Oh and soulful techno, olivier schories, Stéphane bozin, many more but im not winning an oscar for this thanks. Keep the good work. We're still listening and connecting. ❤❤❤❤

Because of those performances, working in KEXP radio is probably the best job in the world...

I'm afraid you would need some headphones to enjoy it. Probably there was almost silence in the studio...

I'm pretty sure they are cooking something great, or at least that is what i like to think. I can already imagine the smell

[@desirem.barrientossanchez.8094]

My heart explodes when I listen to their music!! MODERAT is total magic!!

[@jochemjurgens7997]

Today, in 2021, this still is the best dreamy techno there is. What a vibe. Incredible.

[@514HiphopHead]

Moderat is absolutely Top Tier. There's no question about that. I wouldn't be surprised that they might be an inspiration for a whole new generation of electronic music artists.

Apparat and Modeselektor ist the best Fusion That Could happen ❤❤❤

[@RickYentzer]

Absolutely still gives me chills. Freakin brilliant musicians.

[@quinoa03]

Ghostmother is such a blast.

[@gustavpace9858]

Bad Kingdom sounds better than the album recording streamed on Spotify Premium. Audio guys: Outstanding job.

[@Sebbo187]

if you are really audiophile you dont use spotify. i recommend you Flac format, most of your androids can play them.

[@reeceward9817]

I feel sorry for people who have yet to ad a subwoofer to their system. They dont know what they are missing. When i owned a house, i used to have a SUNFIRE tru Signature subwoofer with two 12 inch woofers in a 13 in cube and 2700 watts. The sonic boom from that system could be heard in my neighbors back yard. Now i use a downsized sub from Bob Carver. It is a Sunfire with a front and downfiring woofer. I reccomend this for anyone in an Apartment ⁷ it will fill in the missing bass while keeping the peace with the neighbord.

[@Rebeing]

IDK how to explain it, but I have some kind of pleasurable sadness inside when I am listening to "Moderat" even though the songs are not "typical" sad songs but they hit me hard...

[@marieluna999]

me too. Especially when they play ghostmother or a new error.. these are next level masterpieces. I feel their music in my heart, it runs through my veins, I am crying bc it’s just so good man. I guess their music and lyrics are kinda deep and there is a type of sadness that comes thru

[@Rebeing]

@@marieluna999 Yes, I feel goosebumps and it’s unexplainable sadness, not really related to the loneliness or pain, it’s just a pure sadness

[@marieluna999]

@@Rebeing totally agree. it’s a pure sadness. "I ran through the grass, there on the edge and all the fear left me" from ghostmother always hits me .. The sadness I feel when listening to this comes from a place of craving freedom, craving peace, craving nature and stillness in the mind and body ..idk how to explain .. I feel like a pure soul that just wants to be free and loving and reconnecting to the divine idk man

[@SolangeLOLable]

Bad Kingdom is amazing but makes me sad

[@514HiphopHead]

Haha, so weird to actually see their faces when they're playing live. They're always shrouded in fog, lights and incredible visuals. Here they look like... ordinary humans playing music (not meant in a bad way)

Modeselektor guys always make me think of two locomotive-engineers, love their appearance. The sound they produce with the three of them is amazing, the vocal chops and other effects are so well created. Hits the feels directly.
