Combine Modeselektor’s grimy, pirate radio sounding music with Apparat’s elegant minimalism and you get a slightly schizophrenic line-up called Moderat. Easily one of the best albums of 2009, Moderat is a nice fusion of seemingly opposing aural aesthetics. And you really have to give it more than one listen to appreciate the dark layers and graceful subtlety in the background.

From the venerable Dieter Rams:
- Good design should be innovative
- Good design should make a product useful
- Good design is aesthetic design
- Good design will make a product understandable
- Good design is honest
- Good design is unobtrusive
- Good design is long lived
- Good design is consistent in every details
- Good design should be environmentally friendly
- Good design is as little design as possible
