stereolab fans?

another thread on the mouse on mars tip. Wink

have not kept up on them since "dots & loops" & "alluminum tunes
aka switched on vol.3". just wondering how the lp's have been since
those ones? i used to follow them religiously and pick up all the uhf
singles and lp pressings but sort of lost some interest after the albums
listed above. i credit it to less neu & can influence permeating the
later releases. has anyone kept up on them since? looking at filiing
some holes from the 98 onwards. "oscillons from the anti-sun" looks
like a decent compilation at a cheap price (word is it is worth the price
of admission for the dvd alone). i also read that 1999's "cobra and
phases group play voltage in the milky night" is a real nod to sun ra.
can you fill me in here?
the turn on lp was pretty cool -> http://www.discogs.com/artist/Turn+On less vocals more noodley electronics

since you're going back through the mom / stereolab stuff i'd highly recommend checking out rococo rot -> http://www.discogs.com/artist/To+Rococo+Rot

cheers dave. will check those out. i've actually been having a blast going
through some of my early to mid 90's records as of late. so many damn
good things in the collection that i haved not listened too in a long long time.

noodley electronics Xyxthumbs
noodly electronics would definitely describe the period between emperor tomato ketchup and margerine eclipse (a real return to form imo)

Although, of course, the whole tortoise /john mcentire connection was still very cool.

Oscillons is an excellent compilation btw. I'm by no means a obsessive fan who buys all the tour 7"s lahdedah - so the compilation was a v. welcome addition.

That said, I have the 3 new 7"s sitting in front of me as i write.

I'll shut up now.

yes how are those 3 new singles? i got the email/newsletters thing a few
weeks ago regarding those. it was alot easier keeping up on all these
things when i was a buyer at a shop a looked at lists week in and week out.
they're good.
I think it's safe to say that if you like the 'lab - you'll like the 7"s - nothing outrageously different or wildly experimental but just 6 sides of poptastic stereolab niceness. smashing!

Interlok/Visionary Road Maps would be my pick though.
I know nothing.
i bought this one...

Early Stereolab had only one song and it was a Neu! song.
Later Stereolab learned a second song and it was a Sergio Mendez song.

(I was referring to 'if I had to choose between the 3 recent 7"s' fwiw - wasn't implying it was their finest work)


Still think French Disko is a blindin single. It's an obvious choice - but stil does it for me.
I have the "Sound Dust" album - it's good.



" Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements "

Might have to check this one... title is good anyway Lol

another nail hit on the head Xyxthumbs

imo "transient random noise bursts with announcements" is their finest cd... bought it when it came out along with "pet sounds" and "it takes a nation of millions to hold us back" ... what a fine christmas that was Lovesmilie
Fact just posted a 2.5 hour Stereolab mix yesterday...

Well worth a check I would say Wink

Thanks esb!

Stereolab are fantastic. Smile
Re-issues came out last month and back on tour now. Clips I've seen of them live seem very tight!

Excellent band, also this guy Johnpeel  used to be a big fan and often played Stereolab songs on his show
