Apparat + Modeselektor = MODERAT .. Enough said! Moderat's formation began back in 2002 when sascha ring (aka apparat) and gernot bronsert and sebastian szary (aka modeselektor) recorded an ep for the record label bpitch control. the making of this release was incredibly exhausting for the three of them, and at the last minute theyrenamed the ep "auf kosten der gesundheit" (which translates to "at the cost of health"). when it came time to begin working on an album, moderat suddenly broke up. But they teamed up again and this is the result!
