Stereolab -Switched On (1992)
This really early collection of singles and EPs that were recorded prior to their first album Peng! shows just how far they haven’t come.

commentsThis 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.
commentsI always wanted to listen to this record this evening. It’s not quite reverse chronologically but fuck it! I make up and change the rules as I go.
commentsAnother brilliant collection, like yesterday’s compilation, of extraordinary and ageless AOR music. Most of the time I like to feel the grime and hear the dirge.
commentsYou can thank not taking the time to properly programme stations on the car radio and the holiday break for my two latest indiscretions.
commentsLiterally just out of Kindy, these Oxford youngsters thrust themselves into mid-90’s Brit-Pop obsessed England. This debut is surprisingly competent for such tiny tots and remains a highly listenable and classic pop record.
commentsThere’s no getting away from it - Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” is quite good. It’s certainly the Waters and Gilmour show with some killer songs amongst the more operatic/filler stuff.
commentsJust a great big slab of shit-kicking R&B on double teal vinyl to upset the neighbours and add an edge to the Friday night “no work tomorrow” alcohol fueled exhortations.
commentsThis is a brilliant collaboration between Kid Cudi and Kanye West. While it’s only an 20 minute EP, it does one hell of a lot during those 1200 seconds.
commentsThe themes were: _New! , A piece of music you played on New Years Eve (or would have wanted to play if you could choose the music being played), A piece of music that reflects one of your resolutions or goals for the new year _
