Mouse on Mars is Kraftwerk influenced, bleepy, goofy, poppy stuff. They get more abstract on some of their harder to find releases, but on Vulvaland and Autoditacker they strike a nice balance--their weirdness never gets to hard to listen to or loses its groove. They opened a US Stereolab tour, and they were a perfect fit. Nuff said. Sam
