Just because a film stars Tony Danza, it doesn't mean that said film can't have a top-notch soundtrack. To wit: Glam, which was recorded by German post-techno duo Mouse on Mars, aka Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner. Intended as the soundtrack to an ultimately straight-to-video late-90s piece of shit film starring Danza and Ali McGraw, Glam the album was rejected by Josh Evans, the film's director, and found limited release on vinyl in 1998 on the band's label, Sonig. Though the vinyl quickly fell out of print, the album has been available on CD in Japan for some time, at crazy import prices.

After much clamoring by German post-techno duo fans (a clamor you do not want to hear, trust me), MoM has decided to re-release Glam on CD via Thrill Jockey Records on April 8th. The reissue features three tracks not available on the original vinyl copy. The mind reels at trying to imagine what Tony Danza was doing in the film while a song called "Mood Leck Backlash" played on the soundtrack. Here's the tracklist, full of song titles that Microsoft Word doesn't recognize as actual words:

01 Port Dusk
02 Grindscore
03 Snap Bar
04 Tankpark
05 Mood Leck Backlash
06 Rerelease Hysteresis
07 Pool, Smooth and Hidder
08 Flim
09 Tiplet Metal Plate
10 Hi Court Low Cut
11 Funkytiste
12 Starroom
13 Litamin
14 Heizchase Nailway
15 Glim

In other Mouse on Mars news, the duo is working with IDM star Matthew Herbert under the moniker DJ Collapse on a two-track 12" EP set for release via Accidental Records this May. The tracks are "Jawfunk" and "Shinbone".
