Review of: Von Sudenfed - Tromatic Reflexxions

5/5 (minimum 1)

by martinp on 29 Jun 2007

If you're into garage rock and post-punk, you're probably into The Fall. If you're into electronic music, you're probably into Mouse On Mars. Both bands innovate and take their respective genres in new directions. Their teaming up to make this album is a significant event. Mark E. Smith is at his most melodic, and MoM are at their most danceable. However, the musical and lyrical eccentricity make it a challenging (and only occasionally self-indulgent) album. It never settles into what anyone would call "dance music".

It can be heard either as a MoM album with a additional sonic element or as a Fall album from a parallel universe where the Fall have always been an electronic band rather than a rock band.
