Customer Reviews
It Rocks!
I just want to get to the point. This album rocks. I'm sure anyone who has come into stereolab after this album might be scratching their heads, but damn if this album doesn't reach near orgasmic head bobbing. The final two songs just make you want to get up and dance around in your underwear. An amazing, uplifting album, that's sure to even make your brightest days shine brighter.
first and foremost?
A good introduction to Stereolab. This is one of their most consistent albums, many of the songs following the extremely basic Stereolab formulae for songs: a guitar strumming one or two chords, a simple drumbeat, organ interference, and beautiful vocals (sometimes complete with la-las, etc.) While many of the songs on the album follow this formulae, they do so in a more compact, muffled way compared to their following albums. Standouts include "Super Electric" and "The light that will cease to fail."
great tunes
This is a really useful collection of early stereolab singles/b-sides. The songs here are a perfect example of how stereolab sounded when they first started as a band. From listening to this release you can see how the band have progressed. However, the songs here are classics, they may not be the better of stereolab songs written but they do have lovely tunes. I think for stereolab fans there are quite a deal of emotion attached to these recordings and that's why we love them so much. 'Brittle' 'Super electric' 'The light that will cease to fail' and 'Changer' are all adoreable songs. My only critcial point of the album is the 80's snare sound of 'the light that will cease to fail'! Get this collection if you are intrested in how stereolab once sounded, it's great stuff.
