i basically went through the same line of thought a few years back - midnight cowboy is one of my fav movies so i searched down the soundtrack and the elephant's memory material - 'old man willow' now being a favourite mix-filler. cool swirly organ sounds and plunky bass.

And what of Farrente & Teicher?

two years pass...

In case you missed it (I did, until I ran across a copy in a shop in Paris on Thursday) The Groop's one and only album was issued on CD by Sundazed a couple of months ago - with 'Tears and Joys' plus a previously unreleased demo added as bonus tracks.

:D basically

two weeks pass...

just saw this at Aquarius the other day and was reluctant about not buying it, but I seriously shouldn't be buying random records right now

i just bought this and it is exactly what i needed right now. i want to live on whatever planet these people are from.

one year passes...

Me again. Today I sang "I Try To Think of You When I Can" at full volume while I was in the shower and it was extremely fun.

four years pass...

i just found a nice, cheap copy of this and le lechera is right - the doctor has ordered, and this is what it is, it is known to all. also:

also Jean Jacques Perrey 'Kaleidoscopic Vibrations' LP (which they lazily sample about 4 times on 'Transient Noise Bursts...') says 'Stereolab' in big letters on the label.

wha? i want to see this but i could not manage to find an image.

there are tons of old records with STEREOLAB on the cover/label

well yeah, that's what i mean. so it seemed weird to single out a single album as the inspiration (Jean Jacques Perrey 'Kaleidoscopic Vibrations' LP), even if they did sample from it. but anyway, my analytical skills are not so hot right now due to my current enjoyment of their "Space Age Batchelor Pad Music"

Karl Malone, Monday, 6 October 2014 21:39 (nine years ago) link

or, i think the pic above is from 1993. i don't know. it could be from any year i guess

Karl Malone, Monday, 6 October 2014 21:41 (nine years ago) link

i cannot be trusted!

Karl Malone, Monday, 6 October 2014 21:41 (nine years ago) link

it's from 2008. all years basically look the same though

one of my favorite parts is when one of the male singers full on belts it in "haunted places" -- he sounds so convinced that his places are haunted!

the part i was referring to is at 3:18 -- he really sounds like he means it --
it's a simple business!

Yeah, I was gonna say! That pic of Stereolab at The Windmill - no way that's from 1993! Wrong line-up for a start, and I was at that show, it was within the past 5 years or more recent.

Welcome to reality. No spitting, please. (Branwell with an N), Monday, 6 October 2014 22:03 (nine years ago) link
