Moderat combines Sascha Ring, better known as Apparat, with Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary of Modeselektor. The collaboration joins Apparat's melodic electronic writing with Modeselektor's heavier club production.
Which Moderat album contains A New Error and Rusty Nails?
Both tracks appear on the self-titled Moderat album released in 2009. "A New Error" became one of the project's best-known instrumentals, while "Rusty Nails" prominently features Sascha Ring's vocals.
Why did Moderat take years to release its first full album?
The musicians first collaborated on the Auf Kosten der Gesundheit EP in the early 2000s, but creative disagreements interrupted the project. They reunited later in Berlin and completed the self-titled album for BPitch Control.
How does the first Moderat album differ from Modeselektor and Apparat?
It is less abrasive than much of Modeselektor's club music and more rhythmically forceful than Apparat's solo work of that period. Tracks such as "Seamonkey" and "A New Error" make that middle ground especially clear.
