Flying to LA to get an EMT reverb plate, getting the EMI console at Berlin's Hansa studios back up to specs, finding vocals on old 1/4" tape - judging by their love for retro machinery, you'd think that Modeselektor and Apparat see their combined Moderat effort as a chance to escape from the computer screen for a while and get even deeper into their collection of analog machinery. Nevertheless their self titled debut album (coming after one EP a couple of years ago) defines their united take on techno, guest vocalists firmly in place. Sadly, the radio format doesn't allow us to run the Pfadfinderei visuals that go with their music, so you'll have to close your eyes and make your own.
