Mouse on Mars - Glim

Continuing on with the theme of mellow 90s electronica/IDM: I finally got around to listening to this old Mouse on Mars album I downloaded off eMusic a while back. It’s called Glam and apparently was originally written as a soundtrack for a movie that never came out. It’s quite ambient and soft, with little mechanical clicks and whirrs going off in pleasant, non-threatening directions. I still need to really dig into the MoM catalog, but to these non-expert ears this sounds like a comfortable mid-point betweens their earlier more melodic/ambient sound and their later experimental/noisy phase. Really nice stuff.
