Tunes filled, overlaid and crammed with processed, plastic analogue/digital sound and finely wrought microbeats.

  • We Say...

    Although MoM's founding members Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma are based in Düsseldorf, they don't see themselves as “sons of Kraftwerk.” Rather, they mix and match ambient, techno, trance and IDM. They are cousins to the likes of Aphex Twin and Autechre; inevitably written into their genes is a restless inventiveness. Every last millimetre of Autoditacker is filled, overlaid and crammed with processed, plastic analogue/digital sound and finely wrought microbeats. Theirs is the joy of being let loose on a massively widened console, the sonic inheritance of their generation, and they take full advantage.

  • They Say...

    Autoditacker finds Mouse on Mars continuing to grow and improve, adding textures and detail to their dense, electronic soundscapes without compromising their sound. They still are indebted to Krautrock and dub, but they continue to add new sounds and styles to their music, including long ambient stretches and flirtations with drum'n'bass. There are no silent moments on Autoditacker -- every inch of the tape is filled with rhythms, keyboards, and electronic squiggles. Each listen reveals new layers of the group's intricate arrangements, and the shifting instrumentation and themes recall the best adventurous jazz in terms of unpredictability. It's another stunning record in a distinguished, inventive catalog.
