SLEEPING GIANTS from Discover Footage on Vimeo.

In September 2015, the Discover Footage team got very lucky on an early morning helicopter flight in New York. While a rare weather pattern grounded most in Manhattan, they were able to fly above it from New Jersey and the resulting footage is stunning. Check it out.

As some of you know, I had a bit of an altercation today with a woman named Diane on an airplane.

I had a great time antagonizing her, reading your responses, and just generally trying to have fun with an irritating person. But I did have a point and I just want to put it out there.

I know I can...

[ 25 ]II - Moderat ( Mute / Monkeytown - 2013 )

After 4 years from their debut album Moderat are back. The super-group composed by Sasha Ring ( Apparat ), Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary ( Modeselecktor ), released a new Album called II and announced it with the single  Bad Kingdom  with the beautiful video made by the Pfanderei crew.

The album starts with a song called The Mark (Interlude), you can understand the power and the greatness of this album in this 1:36 minutes. The care for the sounds, that are all at the perfect place; the low frequencies are really well thought out, you can feel your ears vibrate, but it is not painful like most of the time, like when you hear a powerful bass line that is not balanced at all. There is this particular care for the low frequencies inside every single song on this album.

II continues with  A Bad Kingdom  , first single took from the album. I think that the use of the Sasha’s voice, in opposition to the strong bass line, gives a good harmonization and locks in your mind the melody. This song is perfect, I don’t have anything else to say!

The entire album is a mix of all the new sounds we can find in contemporary music, well built up, a smart use of every single sound used to create something new and fresh. Like in the first  and harmonious album Moderat, also in II if you skip from song to song you can notice that it contains different kind of genre. Maybe for the structure of the band or maybe for who composed the main part of that particular song, but we can find some tracks that are more ” pop “, like Let In The Light , a ballad where the vocals are the main part and rhythms are overshadowed by the vocals and bass line. Another song that in my opinion falls inside the box of “pop tracks”  is Damage Done that looks like more an Apparat work: there are these stretched synth full of reverbs that it might made you think that this track is totally composed by Apparat, however you can hear in the rhythm the presence of Modeselektor.

The other main track of the album, the first is Bad Kingdom, and possible second single extract if it was up to me to choose, is Gita. Full of noises, but the sounds are so clean that you can hear every single glitch. The vocal sample repeated throughout the song, pretty much the one that says “Eh”, is the main part that takes up the whole song. Is like a beacon to guide you in the midst of all those sounds and it sticks in your head. Is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of this song.

Anyhow, Moderat  gave us something perfect. When they announced the release of the album I was pretty sure that was amazing, perhaps better than the first, and so it was. What do you aspect from Apparat, that between the two albums of Moderat has released albums like The Devil’s Walk and Kried und Frieden. And what do you aspect from Modeselektor that in these years have released Monkeytown. I believe  can produce so many great albums, we can only wait for new works and continue listening what they have produced.
