I haven't heard "Marion" yet, but the Fakesch Demon EP's are quite solid.
("Marion" is about half Demon EP material)
All MaS material is good to excellent quality. I'm a big fan of Aemic,
Estermann, and Devine (although he's not MaS really). Even if you haven't
heard of a particular MaS artist, you still can't go wrong.
Everything except for the Demon EPs have been repressed and are available
for reasonable prices (8-10$). I don't think you're looking hard enough?
Pick them up soon, stuff goes out of print in a matter of weeks/months,
and who knows when there will be demand to get it back in print.
"Locust Lunch" (not to be confused with Locust) I just got the other day..
very noisy. I liked it quite a bit, not exactly sure what I would compare
it to though without actively listening to it for comparisons.

Exactly. MaS are quite different from Skam in many ways. I can see
comparing them to Skam at their onset, but after a few years they have
taken whatever ideas instituted by Ae and made them their own... the
obvious way to me is minimalism, especially Aemic, Swap and Estermann! Ae
seem to have gone the opposite way that MaS has gone, making their music
busier and busier (at least for a time, around chilchisuite/LP5). MaS
artists definitely have a sound/feel to them which differentiates them
from other contemporaries.
[ The excessive amounts of activity in Ae's music at that time never
really impressed me; I KNOW Ae (or even RDJ) can make a ridiculously
complex Nord Modular sampled sequence at 270 BPM, but is it a successful
song? It has a lot of "wow, you can tweak like a maniac" value, but to
each their own, I suppose. ]
