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.
