Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements - back cover
andy ramsey credited with "persuasive percussion"
combines back covers of Enoch Light's
Persuasive Percussion and Provocative Percussion albums of the mid-'50s, which were some of the first albums to exploit the capabilities of stereo recording and 35mm film as a recording devise.

On "Ausculatation to the Nation", on Laetitia Sadier's new album Silencio, the lyrics about the G20 nations conference are taken word for word from a caller to a French political talk show.

It's not in any of the videos I don't think but "Perversion" is almost exactly the same as Velvet Underground's "What Goes On". It is literally the most blatant VU rip-off I have ever heard.

Thread has become too long but did we already mrention Esquivel's space age bachelor pad? Or Caetano Veloso? The residents?
I love this band's influences and references, i might consider them my favorite band simply because of it, so much commn ground for an average music geek.

Ticker tape of the unconscious:
Song title references Anais Nin. It was the name she gave one if her dresseshttp://blacknyx.tumblr.com/post/43837638270/anais-nin-in-inauguration-of-the-pleasure
Also the song samples Gal Costa. Cant remember which song.... Divino, maravilhoso?
― Moka, Friday, 5 April 2013 17:51 (eleven years ago) link
I dont know how much these count as "direct" so they probably dont count:
Joao Donato - Cada Jodel (The Beautiful One)Similar groove to "Parsec".
http://youtu.be/8zy9-n3AJNA
Ennio Morriconne - Amore come doloreSimilar main chord sequence as Miss Modular. (Listen from 1:50 onwards).
http://youtu.be/slMuopBrglY
Also Brakhage reminds me of Mayfield's Move on up.
― Moka, Friday, 5 April 2013 18:43 (eleven years ago) link
Last one for the day:
The bassline for "Were not adult orientated" is basically a sped up sample of Joy DIvision "No love lost".
― Moka, Friday, 5 April 2013 19:02 (eleven years ago) link
Don't know it this has been mentioned but Miss Modular is metaphorically about an art technique called eye trick (trompe l'oeil)

That Jacques Siroul record is very Stereolab. There's a lot of 70s library music that sounds quite a bit like Stereolab.

Olv 26 off Emperor Tomato Ketchup has the lyrics "nous irons tous au paradis", surely a reference to Polnareff's "on ira tous au paradis".

Maybe not a perfect match, but there's a couple places in the three-part Jenny Ondioline that sound inspired by the two-part Shoulder Pads by The Fall.

Refractions In The Plastic Pulse Vs. Electric Light Orchestra - The Whale
Again, how direct a reference is this? I can hear elements of a number of Stereolab songs in The Whale.
Two other Prog instrumentals that sound like Stereolab are Tic Tic Tic It Wears Off by Todd Rundgren, and The Fish by Yes. I haven't been able to connect them directly to any specific Stereolab songs, though.
