since the Von Sudenfed thing from last year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Sudenfed
ive got into Mouse on Mars, i got Idiology by them and i like it. does anyone have any reccomendations towards them and that style of music in general?

I like them okay, that's probably my favorite album by them actually, but a lot of their stuff doesn't suit my fancy.

Anyway... you'd probably like Plaid and Prefuse 73... artists who I think can be quite good but you know.. sometimes they're a bit... I can't put my finger on it...

Anyway, I guess it would help to know what side of Mouse on Mars you like; the glitchier stuff, the weirder stuff, the more ambient stuff, but... I'll just go ahead and list some electronic artists I like a lot that you might like...

I reccomend Eight Frozen Modules, U-Ziq, Funkstoreng (I can never spell his name right, but he has an excellent album called "Appetite for Discstruction"), Telefon Tel Aviv, Squarepusher, Arovane, Pan Sonic (though they're a bit harder to listen to than the other artists I'm listing), Autechre, Pole, Nobukazu Takemaru (though his work is a bit more ambient and glitchy than most of the artists I'm listing), Matmos, Cex (specifically "Role Model"), Aphex Twin, and the excellent Bogdan Raczynski.

well on Idiology theres ambient stuff and the frantic stuff together. I like both but i dont think id like a whole album of either, i like that album because they do both really well. ive heard Prefuse 73 but it didnt do much for me, i dunno i guess its best to head onto some myspace profiles.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of Prefuse or Plaid but their stuff seems to be more in the vein of what Mouse on Mars does as compared to something like Autechre..

Happy listening!

Autoditacker is my favorite by them. Varshaz is pretty good too if you're interested in an angsty side of MOM. I'll second Matmos as well.
