| | Mars Lasar album collection: Chistmas from Mars |
 | | Christmas From Mars is well grounded yet still out of this world which is probably an accurate description of the music of Mars Lasar in general. | | | All the originals are transformed by Mars into his own style of catchy melodies. | | | “A Christmas from Mars” is one of the latter and an instant classic! |

| | Mouse on Mars |
| | On first listen, the latest CD from Mouse on Mars, Autoditacker (Thrill Jockey), is apt to come across as a user-friendly experiment in pop techno. | | | Ultimately the music of Mouse on Mars is not this or that, not one particular genre or another, not the product of some Left Bank philosopher, though traces of familiar genres, philosophers, and beats and melodies are everywhere to be found in it. | | | (Mouse on Mars will be embarking on a tour with Stereolab that hits the Paradise on November 7.) Krautrock is perhaps the closest match. |

| | sfweekly.com Music Pop Goes the Mouse 2004-09-29 |
| | Mouse on Mars' new album, Radical Connector, has turned out to be one of the most unabashedly pop albums of the year, prickly with hooks and flush with singalong melodies. | | | Mouse on Mars -- whose sci-fi scuttlings have, in fact, occasionally sounded like rodents gnawing through green cheese -- emerged in the early '90s with a handful of records that fused krautrock-y drones, lo-fi kitchen percussion, and trace elements of tiki-and-mai-tai-inspired exotica (hence album titles like Iora Tahiti). | | | The title Radical Connector can be read in multiple ways -- as Mouse on Mars' attempt to tie all its incarnations back to the band's roots, say -- but most compellingly, the phrase speaks to the knottiness of the music itself. |

| | Mouse On Mars |
| | With nine releases under their belt dating back to 1994, Mouse on Mars, a.k.a. | | | Niun Niggung — with its blippy and bleepy beats, irresistible melodies, ska-like horn stabs, elegant futuristic funkiness and the whimsicality of, say, Mercury Rev — seems a perfect fit on the sublime Thrill Jockey label. | | | After much head-turning on tours with artists like Oval and Microstoria, Mouse on Mars have, with Niun Niggung, placed a new dent in the heart of electronic music. |

| | Omar A. Rodriguez-Lopez: A Manual Dexterity -- Soundtrack Volume 1 - PopMatters Music Review |
| | The film's music (performed by what the press release calls a "comparable" lineup of the players on the Mars Volta's De-loused in the Comatorium) represents a definite stop-gap between Rodriguez-Lopez's two bands, a palette-cleanser of sorts amidst his transition from histrionic punker to labyrinthian progger. | | | The most devoted of Mars Volta fans will undoubtedly find his excursion into soundtrack impressionism a bit too impenetrable and not susceptible to revisiting. | | | A song's path doesn't twitch and convulse like those in the Mars Volta's catalog; instead, the environment expands and recedes while the form remains constant. |

| | Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab |
| | The group certainly hasn't backed away from pop melodies on Emperor Tomato Ketchup, but just as their hooks are becoming catchier, they bring in more avant-garde and experimental influences, as well. | | | Not only was their influence becoming apparent throughout alternative rock, but Mars Audiac Quintet and Music for the Amorphous Body Center indicated they were moving closer to distinct pop melodies. | | | Because of all its textures, Emperor Tomato Ketchup isn't as immediately accessible as Mars Audiac Quintet, but it is a rich, rewarding listen. |

| | The album is chocked full of intrinsicly magical melodies, textures, and lyrics. | | | Recordings were lifted from nearly every continent on their 2004 tour and just as The Mix album repurposed their stuff for the 90's, this album does the same thing for the 2000's. | | | Mouse on Mars Ð ÒLive 2004Ó - A double bill with Mouse on Mars and Kraftwerk would have been awesome but as it was I saw them separately in 2004. |

| | Cut-up but not chaotic, this is a very appealing album, to file with your Tarwater, Mouse On Mars, Amon Tobin, Matmos, etc. discs. | | | Some Matmos-like weird sound sources (1000 mg calcium dissolving, for instance) are utilized along with the dance-floor beats and romantic melodies... |

| | Brian Lane Green |
| | He delivers the melodies of McBroom's Breathing and Carnelia's Flight almost as though he is making them up as he sings them and has a similar gift for presenting a lyric as though it comes from within. | | | His voice is not unlike that of Sam Harris but, while pouring his emotions into every selection in similar style, he never hints at the sense of self parody that sometimes mars the latter's work. | | | Green has a strong, well controlled pop voice with a gentle vibrato and sings with a level intensity relatively unusual amongst male singers of classic pop and cabaret material. |

| | The Contrail |
| | The Contrail's feedbacky, tinny, bedroom production similarly mars its songs' beautiful melodies, and the result is something similarly appealing: a muddy blur of sound with a thin, wistful voice skating across the top. | | | A "contrail" -- or "condensation trail" -- is that streak of water vapor a plane leaves behind it on its way across the sky. | | | Fans of Guided by Voices' trebly quirk-pop or Of Montreal' psych-pop odes to the broken heart should respond especially strongly to this, but if you have a beating heart and a funny bone or two, you're sure to like The Contrail. |

| | I wasn't really hoping to find some more good AFX stuff, as far as I can remember, when I stumbled upon the "Hangable Auto Bulb" EP (both of them actually - there was a second one, plus "Melodies from Mars", which I discovered approximately around the same time); I was pleasantly surprised. | | | A not really rare Aphex Twin track this week, having been included on the "Classics" compilation (originally coming from the "Xylem Tube" EP) Here's "Polynomial-C". | | | I definitely do not agree with the common opinion that this is his best track, but it's worth listening to, nicely illustrating at least parts of his work in the first half of the nineties. |

| | It's a brisk album clocking in at 36 minutes, but extremely enjoyable from start to finish with at least 5 standouts. | | | "False Angel" is an upbeat, likeable opener that would fit in nicely on any mainstream radio top 20 between Incubus and 30 Seconds to Mars, with it's grinding guitars, melodious vocals and electronic undertones. | | | It's a blend of powerful melodies, beautiful vocals, and punkish energy...almost epic at times. |
