dr lopez Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 From Facebook - Mouse On Mars We have a new record coming out soon!It's called: #SPEZMODIAhttps://soundcloud.com/mouse-on-mars/sets/mouse-on-mars-spezmodia-2014 [sc5]116831130[/sc5] Samples sound fun as hell - I thought WOW was fun but didn't stay with me, seems like this one is keeping the same kind of vibe but hopefully a little more *composed* - whatever, i own every MoM album and love em all in their own ways, i won't stop now!

Guest cult fiction Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 This sounds like a lot of fun, 2013 has been amazing but there hasn't been as many fun/silly records like this as 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxus Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I'm disappointed they're sticking with the same dancefloor sound of WOW for a whole nother album. The samples sound pretty, but predictable and sort of uninteresting. Also I don't hear any Dodo. I am fearing that I won't like this one nearly as much as Para. I didn't really care for WOW at all (though I liked those tracks live; they can definitely deliver a slamming live set with this kind of material - it just makes for really boring albums). I don't want to be a hater though. MoM is one of my all-time favorite groups. Hopefully this will surprise me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Still haven't listened to WOW. I agree that their recent stuff is somewhat dissapointing, it feels like they're hiding behind these trendy dancefloor ideas (altough admittedly in a pretty unique and unmistakeable way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apriorion Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Mouse on Mars will always have a special place in my heart, ever since I discovered them from that "Trance Europe Express vol. 3" (that used to be the way I'd have to find new electronic musicians back in the day, before the internet--they had these sweet little magazines that fit right on the cd shelf!). I liked "Parastrophics", but it honestly doesn't match "Niun Niggun" or "Instrumentals" to my mind. On the other hand, I like how they just keep going. So fuck it. What I'm hearing here is fun, even if it's not quite as mind-blowingly weird as their older stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxus Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I wish Dodo was more of a permanent band member. I really love the energy he adds to their productions and sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wutherslgf Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Is the older stuff more weird? In a good way? I'm only really familiar with Para and WOW, and I thought Para was awesome. This new track is fun, though. Kind of fragmentary though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Is the older stuff more weird? In a good way? Yes. Yes. Check anything before Parastrophics, really. In particular everything from 1995-2001 is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamos scorcho Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Despite their genre bending, which was usually not as simple as that, they've always had a sound that was unique to them melodically harmonically atmospherically. Parastropics had it. Wow was interesting and cool, well see about the lp. I'm sure they've changed and I do like the sound they're doing now, it's just hard to ignore that it seems to lack some of my favorite aspects of the group. But music obviously isn't like a car with "features" I'm just trying to articulate my personal response to wow and this. The music can be great played very loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In particular everything from 1995-2001 is fantastic. Thanks, man. I'll get on that. In need of new wonky tunes this weekend. Sorry I missed your question, but Joseph is quite right. "Vulvaland" was weird at the time, but I found it way more accessible than "Ioara Tahiti" or "Autoditacker" when those were released. Sadly, I have to admit that it took me a little while before I realized what they were up to with those releases. But after a few listens, they were my favorite albums around that time (in the mid-90s). I think that their older stuff won't seem quite as weird today, but for a good illustration of the period and how unusual their stuff was relative to the other stuff that was coming out around that time, I think that the "Trance Europe Express, vol. 3" collection will give you a sense, if you can track down a copy of that. The track they had on that set (which was a two-CD collection, if I remember correctly) was the unmistakeable stand-out for me. Just try to listen to that compilation from beginning to end (if you can stomach that--some of the tracks on there are real barf), and see if you disagree with me.

vamos scorcho Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 It's easy for me to forget that there was a time when autoditacker sounded like a pretty boring idm record to me. I always wonder why other people underrate them but it took me a while to realize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr lopez Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 also frosch from 3:03 - 3:56 is some of my favorite music ever. but I'm still excited!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDobalina Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Probably in the way minority here but I actually liked wow, reminded me of varcharz but shorter and more fun. Still occasionally cane the shit out of it on my car stereo. Autoditacker is one of the best electronic albums of all tiem, still holds up brilliantly 15+ years on (as all great albums should). Also love that goofy voice on parastrophics (end of polaroyced) that says "omg what happened to MoM they've strayed so far from where they started!" What became of that collab or whatever they were doing with machinedrum? Didn't they post pics of themselves in Berlin snorting coke and rocking wolfskins or did I just imagine that?

BobDobalina Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Copped this of Amazon, dis is QG. Very bouncy. Didn't like the last track "Dizzy" at first but now I do, go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Copped this of Amazon, Yeah got it this morning for $2.99. Just one listen so far though, not sure what I think. I do think I liked WOW better on the first pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraveGlitcher Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 A bit of a departure for MoM. First play through I was not feeling it at all. Now on my third listen and track 1,4-5 are the only appealing ones. The other's I found a bit 'one trick pony-ish'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpentintollwut Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 While I also respect their artistic freedom, I dislike these new previews quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr lopez Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Am I trippin' or is that Hall and Oates on the cover? I just love how MoM have no fucks to give lately. Fast and dirty dance sketches, mid-90's psytrance font for album cover type, I love it. ahahahah that's great hadn't noticed that at all good spot. I just saw large curly hair and thought it was andi's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
