I've heard 2 songs, Future dub and Dark FX. Future Dub was awesome, a bit repeatitive though. Dark FX was as cool as it was weird, so it was very cool. Oh, I also heard some other song that was short and beatless, abeautiful ambient track, forgot what it was called.
I kinda forgot about em. Whats their best album?

Yes, MOM are cool. I need their last two albums, I only have Autoditacker and the Cache Coeur Naïf EP. Dark FX is on Autoditacker, quite old; get the new album, Idiology.

I'd say MOM's best release is by far 'Iorah Tahiti'. Some of the best stuff to come out of Germany next to Atom Heart in my humble opinion. I could do without the progressive rock though, but somebodys got to do it.

Glam is good too, Nuin Nuggining is best. .. and so is vaginaland.
IS anyone following this thread after 7 years since the last post?
I brought this thread back from the dead, and now I will watch it sink back to the bottom like it was wearing cement shoes.

Are you still in Iceland! I read Grapevine the other week and it had a lot to say about the xenophobic treatment of Poles. I know it's written by teens but it was a good article.

Yep, still here. I think I'm going to stay until September or early October. After that, I will have the questionable honour of closing down the company or suspending its activity.
The only place I remember having noticed any prejudice toward my humble person was Eimskip - the biggest sea freigh carrier in which a certain lady named Adalheidur was quite obnoxious and refused to communicate anything to me in English despite being well skilled in it.
Actually, I found Icelanders to be a pretty forgiving bunch when it comes to drunkards ruining idyllic evenings downtown. Maybe the benefits of having a cheap labour outweigh any hatred. Or maybe we simply aren't all that different.
I like Grapevine and try to read it when I have the opportunity. I don't remember that article though. Is there any chance you remember which issue it was?

hmmm, how come they represent a direction of any kind? They were as different as possible.

i'm saying on both of those albums the respective direction taken were to places i didn't particularly care for. i'm not saying they sounded similar or were related in any way other than being mouse on mars albums. you're right. theyre night and day compared to each other. i think they're the two weakest MoM albums.

I think they still have to do a so-so album. Radical Connector was close, but still not quite there.

God knows which issue it was! I'm glad Iceland hasn't been too horrible though.

... Idiology was alright.
Not as good as Nuin Nigguing (or whatever it's called). I loved that one so much I bought the UK and US versions and each single.

i'm not too keen on any of the new stuff either, it's mostly shit but there are a few gems here and there. glam is probably my favourite. the ambience is perfect and the bubbly beats are entertaining as fuck.

agreed on Glam. Their "Instrumentals" CD follows close to similar lines, in their earlier style. Check it out.

oh! i just remembered I saw them live on the Radical Connector tour. Their music is much more fun and energetic live than on record, even re-working some of the older stuff into their newer glitchy style.
I believe a recording from that tour was used on the Live '04 CD.
That show was also notable because I discovered two new bands that I now love: Ratatat and Junior Boys!

their live setup looks excellent. from what i've seen they look really engaged and they're loving it. i wish i could hear the instrumentals and live cd unofortunately the pigs put a limit on bandwidth and they charge an arm and a leg for a fucking cd.

it was a fun show, and i'd see them again if they came my way (even if i don't follow their music as closely anymore).
