Stereolab - Mars Audiac Quintet [The Extras] (1994)
This triple album is part of the fan(tastic) re-release campaign undertaken by Stereolab over the last couple of years. It’s hard to believe that this extras record (sides 5 & 6) contains mainly demos or tracks not used on main release albums.

Stereolab - The San Franscisco Bath House, Wellington [Live Event] (2020)
Having spent the last month totally immersed in everything Stereolab, I was hoping that this newly re-formed groop, down in this neck of the woods, would at least meet expectations.

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!

Stereolab - Aluminum Tunes: Switched On Vol 3 (1998)
If you think my time listening to Stereolab is fully exhausted, then think again. This compilation from 1998 is a real cracker.

Stereolab - The Groop Played Space Age Bachelor Pad Music (1993)
There’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.

Stereolab - Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night (1999)
An 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.

Stereolab - Oscillons From The Anti-Sun (2005)
While 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.

Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup (1996)
This 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.

05/02 Stereolab - Sound Dust (2001)
I 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.

Stereolab - Refried Ectoplasm (1995)
Stereolab never cease to amaze and surprise. I’ve been trawling through their back catalogue in anticipation of their Wellington event in March.

Stereolab - Aluminum Tunes (Switched On Vol3) (1998)
On Tuesday 3rd March 2020, my latest musical obsession, Stereolab are playing at the San Franscisco Bath House in Wellington. As I may have alluded to previously, I’ve been gathering Stereolab’s entire back catalogue on magnificent triple, clear-vinyl reissues.

Stereolab - Dots And Loops (1997)
I’ve got a shit load of Stereolab records to work through. 22 sides of beautifully remastered clear vinyl in fact. There’s a new batch of their later catalogue remasters coming soon.

Stereolab - Peng! (1992)
Fantastic debut record from a band I couldn’t do any sort of justice by trying to describe. Led by French vocalist Laetitia Sadier, this just oozes cool.

Stereolab - Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements (1993)
On pristine clear vinyl Another big slab of early Stereolab. Unrefined and noisy, it’s a fantastic and very unsettling journey.

Stereolab - Mars Audiac Quintet (1994)
One of my newly acquired possessions appropriated during a recent raid of “The Family Jewels”. Who could resist the Stereolabs on 6 sides of see through, clear vinyl?

Stereolab - Fab Four Suture (2006)
A tasteful compilation of 4 Stereolab EPs released between 2005 and 2006. The way this was recorded and compiled from separate recording sessions makes this a very palatable and fresh record indeed.

Stereolab - Chemical Chords (2008)
More of the same but different from the labs. Consistently reliable over all of their albums there’s always some subtleties on offer with each album.
