GLAM contains music composed as a score to the film of the same name. Both the music and film was ultimately rejected by the studio, however the tracks were eventually released by Mouse On Mars as a limited vinyl LP on their label Sonig.
This LP of warm, grubby electronica was originally recorded as the soundtrack to an American film staring Tony "Who's the Boss?" Danza, and finally saw general (if somewhat limited) release in 1998, after it became clear the film would never be completed. Despite the passage of time, however (most of these tracks date from 1993 and 1994), Glam contains some of Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner's most compelling material to date, and listens like a sort of combined laboratory/proving ground for the dauby, impressionistic abstraction later pursued on the 1997 Mouse on Mars LP Instrumentals and by Werner's side project Lithops. The least "genrefied" of Mouse on Mars' already exceptionally itinerant discography, Glam is also wonderfully diverse, mixing tracks containing clamorous, sometimes goofy rhythms with introspective cuts consisting of little more than patterned clicks and raspy, absorbing organ drones. ~ Sean Cooper
Originally available as limited vinyl only, 'Glam' features fifteen densely atmospheric tracks initially composed as a film score for a movie of the same name starring Tony Danza & Ali McGraw. Although the film went straight to video, 'Glam' works as an album of its own, presenting the band's most intricate & subtle compositions. The CD comes with three bonus tracks, 'Snap Bar', 'Pool, Smooth & Bidder' & 'Hetzchase Nailway', not found on the LP. The music alternates from quiet passages of peaceful melody to darker soundscapes & strange noises. There's just enough sonic disturbance to break the quieter moments, just when the listener un-expects it most. Thrill Jockey. 2003.
Contains 3 bonus tracks.
