Mouse on Mars has always been a tease, for every Actionist Respoke there was an album's worth of stuff that was chopped and noisy and adventurous in its way, but that just wasn't any actual fun to listen to.
This hits a good balance though, with great energy and strangeness, but convinced to dance, all elliptical movement, all lightcycling ahead, sounding prefuse chopped and dubstep bent and lcd thumping and aphex vulnerable and glitch spare, all in turn, inventive and colorful and fun.
It's still pretty annoying at times, downright stressful in most cases, reasonably awful actually, but when you hit that sweet spot, when you find the right way of listening, let the right parts of your brain turn off, it's a jagged limegreen pin jammed in your pleasure center 3.5/5
