DavidAn end-of-century pre-millennial masterpiece. Letitia Sadier and Mary Hanson are on their best collaborative form, harmonising/counter-harmonising beautifully. The horns introduced in Dots and Loops are more prevalent throughout on this record and there’s a few avant guarde moments in the mix as well.

DavidWhile I’ve replaced ALL of my Stereolab CDs over the last 12 months with astoundingly well remastered and plump-with-music, vinyl editions, I won’t be getting rid of this rare 3CD/1DVD compilation anytime soon.

DavidThis really early collection of singles and EPs that were recorded prior to their first album Peng! shows just how far they haven’t come.

DavidThis album, their fourth, may have been my very first exposure to the Stereolab collective back in the late 90’s. Many a CD was thrust into my mitts, including this one, as I ventured into Everyman Records.
