Glam is the fifth studio album by German electronica duo Mouse on Mars, released in 1998. It was recorded for the purpose of being the score to the 1997 film of the same name.[2][3] However, the soundtrack was rejected by the film's director Josh Evans.[2][3]
In 1998, Glam was originally released by Sonig on vinyl, though a CD was released in Japan by Tokuma Japan Communications. The Japanese release also included the additional tracks "Snap Bar", "Pool, Smooth and Hidder" and "Hetzchase Nailway". The album was later reissued on CD in the US by Thrill Jockey in 2003, with the aforementioned extra tracks included.
