Happy Birthday!, Modeselektor's breakout album, is a full onslaught of dance party. It has been my accompaniment on dog walks, runs, cleaning parties (with me in my underwear) and even a couple of manic "altered" nights brimming with endless fun. Apparat's work with Ellen Allien (Orchestra of Bubbles) became more of a melancholic backdrop to the whir of my work day while their '07 release Walls was electo-infused pop in an IDM world, lofty in it's batter of ever-expanding sounds. I love both of them, so using simple math, Moderat > or = Modeselektor + Apparat... right?
