  • Mouse On Mars will commemorate their 21st year together with 21 Again, due out on October 31st. Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma have recorded more than ten albums together in their decades-long tenure as Mouse On Mars, touching on everything from IDM to rock and pop with classic records like Idiology. They went on hiatus in the mid-2000s, but they've since become regulars on Modeselektor's Monkeytown label after returning with 2012's Parastrophics. 21 Again is their latest endeavour. With a series of 21 new collaborations meant to mark their 21st birthday, the group have, in typically oddball fashion, ended up with 23 collaborative tracks (and seven tracks without Mouse On Mars featuring) spread over two discs. Among the highlights are collaborations with Canadian synth pop duo Junior Boys, Machinedrum, post-rock band Tortoise, Stereolab singer Laetitia Sadier, Matthew Herbert and Oval. There are also tracks from The Fall's Mark E. Smith, Prefuse 73, AGF and Japanese chiptune artist DJ Scotch Egg. Tracklist CD1 01. Eli & Mark E. Smith - 21 Again 02.
