Before anyone says anything: The three compilations included in here aren't a hits collection but a compilation of songs from eps and singles that can't be find on any of their albums so it doesn't count as cheating.

Dots & Loops is my personal favorite, but I haven't listened to them in years.

― WmC, Friday, 11 March 2011 17:43 (2 years ago) Permalink

They were unbelievably fresh through Mars Audiac Quintet and began showing a preference for quantity over quality circa Refried Ectoplasm singles into Emperor Tomato Ketchup. They tried to reinvent themselves shortly afterward to great bouts of inconsistency and it was just a chore to keep up from that point on. I got to see them live in that middle era when they were really a tight unit.

I miss Mary Hansen very much.

― chewy, Friday, 11 March 2011 18:11 (2 years ago) Permalink

unbelievably fresh through Mars Audiac Quintet

No doubt. And it was partly through this expanding scope. I only got into them when Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements was out, but looking back, that stuff was quite an achievement in building on what they did on their early records. And then Mars Audiac Quintet was even bigger.

― timellison, Friday, 11 March 2011 18:13 (2 years ago) Permalink

surely there is at least one other person here who thinks the dots to sound-dust run was their peak? - I dig some Tortoise & High Llamas, but John McIntire & Sean O'Hagan were collectively the worst thing to ever happen to the groop imo.

This is a massively tough one. On different days I'd pick Switched On (v.1), Dots/Loops, Mars Audiac or even Margerine Eclipse.

Despite being a superfan for a long time, I just couldn't get into Chemical Chords and have yet to hear either of the records adjacent to it. However, I have a hard time believing that they could be as good as the above.

― WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Friday, 11 March 2011 18:19 (2 years ago) Permalink

Basically I stopped giving a shit about Stereolab around the time of D&L (which even now strikes me as a profoundly unexciting record) and like most people I never bothered much with their recent records:

1) Switched On
2) Transient
3) Mars Audiac
4) Peng
5) Refried
6) ETK
7) Aluminum
8) Low Fi (not sure why Bachelor Pad is present and this isn't--they are both EPs)
9) Bachelor Pad
10) The remix EP of Miss Modular is probably the best thing they did post-97

― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 11 March 2011 18:22 (2 years ago) Permalink

On Sound Dust:

I get it's probably a transitional sort of album but adore it for its ambition. It might not work flawlessly through the whole album
but Space Moth, Captain Easychord and Baby Lulu are all classic Stereolab songs imho. Also 'Suggestions Diabolique' might sound clumsy here and there but I think it's one of their most complex pieces.

― Moka, Friday, 11 March 2011 18:23 (2 years ago) Permalink

1) and 2) is basically a tie at this point. I think at the time Transient came out I thought it was the best, but the early singles are what I probably pull out more these days so really that should get my vote.

― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 11 March 2011 18:24 (2 years ago) Permalink

factoring in the comps, I may have to vote for Refried Ectoplasm - I really think that it stands as the strongest intersection of their best traits & neatly bridges the stylistic gap b/w MAQ & ETK. plus, French Disko!

― Space // Funk (Pillbox), Friday, 11 March 2011 18:26 (2 years ago) Permalink

My stock answer is MAQ (heard it first, still love it), but I can only have this as my stock answer by justifying that Switched On vols. 1+2 are not "albums", and since they are here in the list, daaamn... may have to go Refried Ectoplasm, but feel pretty sad not voting for the other two as well

so yeah, my top 5 is MAQ, Switched On, Refried, Peng, ETK but it really pains me to pick an order (except ETK is probably last and I still love it)

shit I left out TRNBWA. never mind. too hard. and if EPs should be included, then Fluorescences is also pretty cool.

― dimension hatris (a passing spacecadet), Friday, 11 March 2011 18:27 (2 years ago) Permalink

Fluorescences was the moment that I fell in love w/ the Lab.

yah id agree w/ this - at the v least dots & cobra are the ones i like the best

― Lamp, Friday, 11 March 2011 18:31 (2 years ago) Permalink

Refried Ectoplasm has Harmonium, John Cage Bubblegum, French Disko, plus the best bit of TRNBWA is reprised in Exploding Head Movie: these alone would be a pretty damn good case for best, but there usually isn't a single track I'm tempted to skip, unlike some of the others

Mars Audiac Quintet was the first Lab album I've heard, perhaps that's why it's still my favourite.

― zeus, Friday, 11 March 2011 18:50 (2 years ago) Permalink

x-post Dots and Loops really divides people, doesn't it? I'm right in the middle 'Lab era, owning only Mars, Emperor and Dots; I've never much backtracked (not a fan of Jenny Ondioline tbh) nor gone foward (bits I sampled seemed pretty samey.) So not really qualified to vote...

I'm a fan, and I love certain songs, but I don't think I've ever evaluated them as albums. "How do you differentiate one from the other??"--I'm somewhere close to there, but in a good way.

― clemenza, Friday, 11 March 2011 19:07 (2 years ago) Permalink

I can't believe the amount of haters 'dots and loops' has in here. It's one of my favorite records by them because it feels to me like a big step for them. Every album they made before you could pinpoint most of their influences - krautrock, samba, velvet underground, garcia esquivel, 60's am radio, etc... - and I feel that 'dots and loops' marks the moment where all those elements that had shaped up their songs until then stop acting as a crutch* and actually develop as a unique sound.

* Don't really know the actual english word for what I'm trying to say. In spanish 'muleta' or 'crutch' refers to a sort of phrase or action that is constantly repeated by a person, sort of a bad habit. A catchphrase or 'catchaction' so to speak.

Yes. It's probably the most 'abstract' thing released in their name. Technically, it's a Tim Gane remix - and sounds like it.

So I checked out a sampling of album cuts from the last 10 years and was nonplussed. Then I put together a compilation of compilation, rare and singles tracks and, as expected, was duly impressed! Here's what I wound up with, sort of a 21st century Switched On:

1. Old Lungs (V/A - All Tomorrow's Parties)
2. La Spirale (Margerine Eclipse JP bonus track)
3. Rose, My Rocket-Brain! (tour single)
4. Banana Monster Ne Répond Plus (tour single)
5. University Microfilms International (tour single)
6. Variation One (V/A - Moog)
7. Dimension M2 (V/A - Disko Cabine)
8. Mudra (V/A - Dimension Mix)
9. Solar Throw-Away (tour single)
10. Jump Drive Shut Out (tour single)
11. Spool Of Collusion (Chemical Chords bonus single)
12. Forensic Itch (Chemical Chords bonus single)
13. The Nth Degree (Chemical Chords JP bonus track)
14. Magne-Music (Chemical Chords JP bonus track)
15. Explosante Fixe (tour single)
16. L'exotisme Interieur (tour single)

Some of it brings back the feel of their guitar-laden heyday, some tones down the blips and bloops and let's Laetitia shine, while other just lay out a great groove. Only one or two aren't that interesting - good to know there's still a future comp for me to buy!

I don't remember people hating on D&L at all.

List The Direct References of Stereolab

― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Monday, 3 October 2011 19:00 (1 year ago) Permalink

I don't remember people hating on D&L at all. The serious backlash started with "Cobra and Phases Group", but even that one had plenty of great songs, it was the McEntire/O'Rourke blippy bloopy production that had gotten out of control and basically ruined the album.

Those two albums basically coincided with The High Llamas' Cold & Bouncy, which bloops and blips its way across six thousand hours of pretty much exactly the same vibe, so I think O'Hagan is to blame here (NB: I use the term 'blame' loosely as D&L and C&B are two of my favourite albums of all time).

Re ripping stuff off: many yonks ago I heard Krzysztof Komeda's Fearless Vampire Killers composition that Stereolab hooked for Flower Called Nowhere. It's really just the same thing with added swishing noises. Game admitted to that one though.

A Couple times I 'hated' the album on first hearing, then loved it the very next time.

D&L I didn't go for, it wasn't until many years later hearing it in a second-hand shop, thinking "that's great actually" and bought it again.
