Stereolab - Refried Ectoplasm: Switched On Vol 2 (1995)
Just a couple of albums to go on my Anglo-French band adventures over the last month. They play live on Tuesday night next week!

commentsIf you think my time listening to Stereolab is fully exhausted, then think again. This compilation from 1998 is a real cracker.
commentsThere’s more tambourine playing by Laetitia Sadier than actual singing on this record. Apparently she was sick and didn’t get much studio time so the band just played on.
commentsAn 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.
commentsThe themes were: _Remaining, Or returning - e.g. bands that have never broken up, or have reformed, or members who’ve left and come back, Leaving - E.g. bands that have broken up, or band members who’ve left to forge new careers , Gone For Good - E.g. someone from the latest crop of rock, etc, deaths _
