                Stereolab

                Little Pieces Of Stereolab (A Switched On Sampler)

                  A budget priced introduction to the wonderful world of Stereolab. The Switched On series was launched in 1992 as a way for the band to compile their many non-album tracks from one-off singles, split releases, compilation appearances, art installation commissions and more. Over the course of five volumes, the series has documented some of their best loved and most popular tracks, as well as fan favourites and intriguing deep cuts. Little Pieces… selects three tracks from each Switched On album, housed in a simple card wallet with bespoke artwork.

                  Compiled as an entry point for the curious to the band’s vast back catalogue, it covers a wide range of ‘Lab music: from motorik earworms to cosmic country to radical tape cut-ups. As with the much more extensive 8CD boxset iteration, all the tracks have been remastered from the original tapes.

                      Stereolab

                      Switched On

                        Remastered edition of a compilation of Stereolab’s first three singles, first issued in 1992.

                        Although Switched On is much more guitar driven than some of their later releases, it still employs the same Krautrock grooves and bubbling analogue synths, and of course Laetitia Sadier’s cooler than cool vocals are ever present.

                        Stereolab

                        Electrically Possessed (Switched On Volume 4)

                          The fourth in the Switched On series that compiles non-album tracks and sought after deep cuts by the groop. Following on from the first volume released in 1992, 1995's Refried Ectoplasm, and 1998's Aluminum Tunes, the long-awaited fourth installment spans 1999 - 2008 in the Stereolab story and collates 3 LPs worth of material, all remastered from the original tapes and overseen by the band. It features all the tracks from out-of-print and sought after mini-album The First Of The Microbe Hunters, one-off and impossible to find tour 7"s, compilation tracks, art installation work and a couple of unreleased outtakes from the Mars Audiac Quintet and Dots and Loops recording sessions

                          STAFF COMMENTS

                          Barry says: There are few bands more revered in electronic circles than Stereolab and this collection of brilliantly eccentric but unmistakeably deep 'rarities' compilations (I hate that term, but you know the sort), the FOURTH collection in fact being every bit as amazing as the first makes me wonder how many more there are, and when I can buy them.

                          Stereolab

                          Sound Dust (Expanded Edition)

                            While the two years between Dots and Loops and Cobra resulted in stagnation, the two years separating Cobra and Sound-Dust find Stereolab deliberately recharging their creative juices, delving deeper into avant-garde composition and '60s swing pop in equal measures. As the album opens with the minimal "Black Ants in Sound-Dust," it's evident that the group has restructured and pushed forward, even if it means that they're adhering to their time-honored tradition of expanding their trademark sound with new arrangements and influences.

                            Remastered from original tapes with bonus disc of out-of-print tracks from the album sessions. Co-released by band’s own label Duophonic UHF Disks and Warp Records.

                            Stereolab

                            Margerine Eclipse (Expanded Edition)

                              Stereolab's music is so consistent, and so consistently pretty, that it has become nearly criticism-proof; the band do what they do so completely that it's almost a matter of accepting or rejecting their music whole instead of analyzing it. But while Stereolab's mix of '50s and '60s lounge, vintage electronic music, and Krautrock may have crossed over into easy listening indie pop a few albums ago, they still can't be dismissed easily. Margerine Eclipse, the band's tenth full-length, can sound a bit like a collage of pieces from their nine other albums, but the overall effect is more retrospective than repetitive. It's arguably the most direct work Stereolab have done since Emperor Tomato Ketchup (and at just under 54 minutes, it's one of the shortest of their later albums) and it continues Sound-Dust's trend of gathering the sounds the band explored on their previous work and tweaking them slightly.

                              Remastered from original tapes with bonus disc of out-of-print tracks from the album sessions. Co-released by band’s own label Duophonic UHF Disks and Warp Records.

                                  Stereolab's 7 album reissue campaign kicks off with 1993's 'Transient Random Noise-Bursts With Announcements' and 1994's 'Mars Audiac Quintet', reissued via Warp Records and Duophonic UHF Disks, as expanded and re-mastered editions on vinyl and compact disc.

                                  Each album has been re-mastered from the original 1/2" tapes by Bo Kondren at Calyx Mastering and overseen by Tim Gane. Bonus material includes alternate takes, 4 track demos and unreleased mixes.

                                  Martin says: The more accessible end of their output perfected their assault on space age pop, blending complex and layered lounge experimentation with their trademark kraut influences to gorgeous effect.

                                  Stereolab

                                  The Groop Played Space Age Batchelor Pad Music

                                     ‘The Groop Played Space Age Batchelor Pad Music’ is an 8-track mini album, released in 1993.

                                    Often noted as being one of the most influential and original bands of the 90s, Stereolab were formed by Tim Gane and Laetitia Sadier in London in 1990 and released 13 studio albums, 15 EPs and numerous singles. Simon Reynolds commented in Rolling Stone that the group’s early records form “an endlessly seductive body of work that sounds always the same, always different.”

                                    Theirs is a rich, overflowing palette, readily able to blur the gulf between Os Mutantes and the BBC Radiophonic Orchestra; merge Krzysztof Komeda with the Velvet Underground, Francoise Hardy with Neu! and Burt Bacharach with Esquivel. A deluxe blend, in other words, with ingredients plucked assiduously from pop’s coolest outposts: 50’s lounge, Rive Gauche chanson, Brazilian tropicalia, North American art rock, East European film music, Krautrock. hi-fi test recordings, mood music and more. Somehow they distil these apparently incongruent components into an ageless exotica that is all their own.

                                      Chemical Chords

                                        If you discount "Fab Four Suture", the EP collection of 2006, "Chemical Chords" is the first album proper from Stereolab since 2004's "Margerine Eclipse". The eleventh album in an illustrious career, "Chemical Chords" began life in early 2007 when Tim Gane started messing with 'a series of about seventy tiny drum loops' on top of improvised chord sequences using piano and vibraphone, 'building them up from there – later slowing the tracks down or speeding them up – a totally new way of doing songs for us…' With typical prolificacy, the band laboured over the summer at their studio, Instant Zero (in Bordeaux, France), helping transform these blueprints into 32 luminous new songs, with keyboardist / technician Joe Watson manning the mixing desk. Half the new repertoire was selected for this album, which, for all the breathless spontaneity of its invention, is arguably the band's tautest, most highly focused work this century.

                                        Fab Four Suture

                                          This album compiles tracks from their recent series of limited 7" releases. "Fab Four Suture" handily compiles each track from the 7" releases together on to one album and shows that they've lost none of their magic. It is yet another must-own record from one of the UK's most influential bands of the last decade.
