Mouse On Mars: Andi Toma, Jan St. Werner ;Nobuko Sagai (vocals); Wolfgang Flur, Dodo Nkishi (drums). This is the follow-up to Mouse On Mars's 1994 debut VULVALAND, finds the band's multi-textured techno-pop refined to a high art. The German-based duo takes its cue from its Krautrock forebears, using spacey, insistent beats and grooves as an anchor for its smooth analogue language and digital chittering. The first two tracks, "Stereomission" and "Kompod," are expansive, loping compositions founded on fluid, burbling basslines. "Achunkel" sounds like ghosts playing drums in a cybernetic junkyard. "Bib" plows a swirling ambient vortex with pulse-quickening techno rhythms. Must be their best.
