Live 04 is a live album by German electronica duo Mouse on Mars. It was released on Sonig in 2005. [3]
Heather Phares of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "while it's still not quite the same as seeing Mouse on Mars in concert, that it manages to capture even a fraction of the atmosphere and sweat of their shows makes it potent stuff indeed." [1] Mark Richardson of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.0 out of 10, describing it as "a soundtrack to a raucous little party." [2]
All lyrics are written by Dodo Nkishi, Jan St. Werner, and Andi Toma; all music is composed by St. Werner and Toma.
