  1. Not that anyone really expected or wanted a laugh a minute, but whilst these 13 tracks are certainly eclectic in style, the atmosphere throughout, with the exception of the bubbling melodic analogue chug of opener ‘A New Error’, is almost uniformly bleak.

    Intelligent Dance Music at its finest. Brilliant in execution. Thrilling in emotional breadth. Cinematic in scope. I will never tire of this album.

    You must hear this album and, if they tour again, see Moderat live!
