No apparent web presence for these folks, but it looks like their album came out in 2000. If I recall, I have an Adding Machine CD tucked away somewhere that I think I ought to listen to judging from the satisfactory results here.

Not a slavish imitation mind you, the Machine are wont to peel off a none-too-dissimilar volley of relentlessly ringing chords and quirky prose. According to their Myspace hovel, Mars Accelerator call Seattle home.Ĭall it an uncanny coincidence (or in fact, just call it a day), but The Adding Machine also seem to be grazing from the same pasture that The Sugarplastic happen to occupy. Am pretty sure I heard a Mars Accelerator CD several years ago but don't recall them sounding a damn thing like this. Really enjoyed their first cut here, "Bubbles, Lurching," which smacks of crooked popsters The Sugarplastic, throwing a co-ed twee vibe in the mix for good measure. Just discovered Mars are apparently still in business, even offering a "download of the month" of some sort on their site. At long last, here it is - at least the best I could do for now. Way, way back someone requested music from Mars Accelerator.
