postjack Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 So I'm buying some stuff on amazon and this little gem catches my attention: Because hey, isn't that my main man, my favorite post-punker, the living representation of everything that makes music GOOD, mr Mark E. Smith of The Fall? And who are those other two cats with him? According to the blurb: "This is the debut by a trio formed by Mark E. Smith of The Fall along with Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner of Mouse On Mars. It combines the genre-smashing attack of early millennia club music with Smith's free-associating visionary wordplay. The riffs and rhythms come together from many different places, with synths, samplers, and sequencers all firing off. It's not a band, it's a free-flowing collectivist dance generator - a futurist sound system." Mouse on Mars, coolness. Is it possible for this album not to completely redefine pop music as we know it? Says one reviewer: "Like being shouted at by an old man for an hour in a pub staffed entirely by robots. In a good way." (4/5 stars) I should have it by Friday. I'm excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'm a big fan of Mouse On Mars (surprisingly good live act) and a mediocre fan of Mark E. Smith/The Fall, so I will be getting this...eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I'm not saying I don't like them, I just never got that much by them. I'd probably like them a lot, from what I've heard. I'm the one that's mediocre (as a fan), not them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
