MAQ is the greatest krautrock space boogie album ever.

You *must* understand my universe, Kyle:
* Tor-twah = the suck aside from maybe a minute of "Djed"* The vast majority of D&L tracks = produced by one John M. of Tor-twah* live/radio sessions of the McEntire-produced tracks >>>> the D&L versions* Ergo, foo on D&L
Other universes are different.

This doesn't make any sense! How can you only like a minute when so much of the joy in the piece is in its progress and transitions?

This is the key point ... even after I stopped enjoying Stereolab records, I continued to enjoy hearing them live because they always brought the krautfunkboogie, whereas on record McEntire et al were obsessed with all the cooing and burbling.

Exactly, as per my comment upthread from yesterday about how they were getting too "cute" on ETK. The rawness that remained on ETK was almost completely smoothed out by D&L.

'joy'
Also, Ned, does this mean you prefer the Andi Toma tracks on Dots and Loops?
Oh heck yes. Keep in mind I am a bit of a Mouse on Mars fiend.

I stopped loving them with Transient... (btw: anyone want to make me an offer for the mint gold vinyl (I think) LP, signed?). The soul dropped out of their music. They were so perfect for the first three or four years. Why did they have to fuck with the amazing simplicity of their sound? Sob.

oh and Dots And Loops I've definitely come around too, you never know when your mind might change.
