mouse on mars appreciation

i'm a bit wary because I got introduced to this via friends who are not especially interested in electronic music........... ready, go!

mouse on mars?

ikve nekver hkerad of mouse of mars.

are they like the aphex twins

yeah neither had i... it's pretty good shit though, I think it's german glitch and dub stuff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_on_Mars

find the track "wipe that sound", it's excellent

easterlingman you are shitting me right?

get idiology today

and glam (best live electronivc album ever)

yeah dude radical connector is their worst... niun niggung, idiology... GO

sorry, jesus christ. i've literally listened to like 3 tracks, give me some fucking time GOD DAMNIT *shoots self in the face*

hey does anyone have the version of wipe that sound with mark e. smith on it?

THEY HAVE MORE ALBUMS THAN TRACKS YOUVE LISENED TO GET WITH IT THIS IS electronic music TAKE NO PRISONERS

glam is the best.. but it's not live. it was originally commisioned to be a soundtrack for some shite called "gangster glam," except the film didn't want the music once they heard it. of course, the movie never got finished and jan & andi decided to release the music anyway (in a much altered form). jan told me that lots of the sounds in the album were created using video-to-audio converters, which explains why glam sounds so different from the rest of their work. the other "best" album/release has gotta be "instrümentals." this one is a lot like glam: mellow and basstacular. on a side note, I've tripped on acid/mushrooms/ketamine to glam more often than any other record, and it never did me wrong.

another record you need to check out is Autoditacker, which came out in 97. this was the first one I heard, and in many respects I think it's the most accesable of their "early" work. especially check the songs "tamagnocci" and "schnick-schnack meltmade" featuring Laetitia Sadier from stereolab.

one more thing... I have the version of wipe that sound with mark e. smith.. but only on vinyl =þ

I think they were referring to the topic being called Mouse of Mars rather than Mouse on Mars. Just got hold of their album Audioditecker, looking forward to hearing it.

niun niggung, audiotacker, glam. rost pocks doesn't work that well as an album imo, but it's worth getting for the tracks from EPs you might not be able to find easily.

haha, mouse of mars

u should xek it out, all of it, itz damn good ambient!!!!

and a shut da fuck up 2 mrx biatch, while he´s ready 2 post

damn.. just noticed that

i never seem to pay attention to spelling in thread titles, email titles.. google searches.. but my spelling in the body part is always perfect (at least, as far as i know)... it's fucked

iaora tahiti is really good, too.

Really soothing in a cartoon kind of way.

bumping old thread... any recs for similar to mouse on mars? lithops and microstoria are too more different

Not sure if you were aware of this thread or not (didn't check to see if you posted in it), but it's a more recent mouse on mars thread that may be of use.

i've listened to twift off their live album so many times, great shit. mouse on mars played here once in like 2002 i think. also retphase is a killer track

shit didn't realize this was an old thread

the closest thing i've ever heard to mouse on mars:

matmos - a chance to cut is a chance to cure

it's actually a pretty great album.

mound magnet part 2 is so good, just recently heard it

i would recommend

jan jelanik - loop finding jazz records

and

vert - nine types of ambiguity

both are fantastic. the vert was released on sonig, MoM's label

niun niggung is alot of fun

idilogy is amazing

radical connector, most of it is good, kinda poppy sounding

rost pocks is a good mix of their singles, very good actually

the rest i haven't listened to much but i know i should

i listened to radical connector for the first time in a while recently

actually got better with time. songs that used to annoy me now sound pretty amazing.

for instance, "spaceship."

also check out von sudenfed......
