Monkeytown Germany 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Moderat's newest album III is out and the second single to be released by the amazing trio of Gernot Bronsert, Sascha Ring and Sebastian Szary is "Running", an emotive pop inflected electronica number showing off (mainly) the fine vocal talents of Ring whose emotional performance is electrifying! On the flip is "90% Wasser" a sombre broken beat number with cinematic qualities; just as emotive with its soaring strings later that build up to an amazing crescendo.

Review: Moderat return with a third single shaped offering from their 'overwhelmingly successful sophomore album II' and is centred around "Last Time", a track previously only available on the limited deluxe CD edition. One of the more downtrodden moments in the Moderat canon, Sascha Ring's capacity for wringing every last drop of emotion out of his voice is on full effect in "Last Time" which is only heightened by the pared down musical backing. Present here in original, instrumental and alternate versions, those looking for a lift will find it in the final quite epic remix from Jon Hopkins, which sounds like it should be played with a vast strobe light accompaniment.
