It doesn't have any of the jazzy instrumentation that Sound Dust had, which is good; I really like Sound Dust but they didn't need to make it again. This one reminds me more of Dots and Loops than any of the other records (I like Dots and Loops, I know others don't). It's pretty poppy.

I don't but I do like this one quite a bit. It's a bit like the Cocteau Twins at this point, Stereolab is -- another single, another album, yay.

Good to see someone else on the "D&L/Cobra > ETK" wagon though. : )

I really loved margerine eclipse although like someone already mentioned, I knew what to expect. for me, that didnt stop me from thoroughly enjoying it.I highly reccommend Sound Dust as well, I didn't find it iniaccessible at all & Long Life Love is one of my favorite tracks of theirs.

Also, word to Christian ... As for albums I'd much sooner recommend Sound Dust. Frustrated me at first, but after a few listens, started to get it and really, really enjoy it. Not really a continuation of 'Cobra' -- it's completely different. I consider it one of the best.

vonal declosion is one of the best songs i've ever heard

I’m obsessed with the opening moments, particularly the way the tracks are mixed.

The 1-2-3 punch to start the album is god tier

honestly one of my top stereolab albums

About 15 years ago I went through a ridiculous project of going through my digital music collection and deleting every track I didn't love, Margerine Eclipse was one of maybe five LPs where I didnt delete a single track.

Put it on this morning, motivated by this thread, still top 5 Stereolab and a scintillating delight.

The recent 2 disc cd version is the best of the recent reissues to pick up on cd and play as loud as possible. Sounds like it's playing right inside your head at times.

I hear the dual mono recording means you can listen to one channel or the other and get two different stripped-down versions of the album. That sounds pretty neat, but I'm too lazy to try and hear it that way (no balance control on my receiver).

contort the geometric chaos. the outro of "dear marge" ranks tall among lab jam moments

could load up a ripped copy into Audacity and just create two separate sets of MP3s... left channel mixed to stereo, right channel mixed to stereo

'Feel and Triple' has gotten me misty eyed once or twice. Only Stereolab song I can say that about.
