Rost Pocks - The EP Collection

New Year being both a time for looking forward as well as back it seems appropriate to reflect on the groundbreaking work of Mouse on Mars. Premier exponents of the electronic scene the Dusseldorf duo's work has been cited by artists as diverse as David Bowie, Orbital and David Byrne. The release of 'Rost Pocks' (17th February) brings together the bulk of material issued as EP's during their time with too pure, including the pivotal debut release 'Frosch' and 'Cache Coeur Naif'.Rost Pocks compiles tracks taken from the Frosch, Bib and Twift EPs, together with three songs lifted from their 1997 collaboration with art-popsters extraordinaire Stereolab, Cache Coeur Naif, the two tracks from the 12’ remix Saturday Night World Cup Fieber, and Maus Mobil, until now only made available on the Trance Europe Express 3 compilation. These tracks, fitting around the three albums Mouse On Mars produced for Too Pure, present part of the journey that took the duo to last year’s challenging Idiology.
