Probably Klaus, right?

that's my guess, but I've never seen it specifically discussed anywhere

CAN seems like the most obvious thing they must have heard, maybe Faust (they initially made something of a splash in the UK press), maybe Schnitzler and Roedelius too idk

they were jacked into the German experimental art scene from the beginning

So that Hilma af Klimt exhibit... anyone else reminded of the cover of a certain Stereolab album?

(Less direct of a reference than usual, but this is so precisely up their alley)
― Milton Parker, Monday, 29 October 2018 19:04 (five years ago) link
Perhaps a reach but I want to believe
Thought I typed Klint on first post, apologies for error

"I feel the air of another planet" / "Ich fühle luft von anderem planeten", first line of the Stefan George poem 'Entrückung', set by Schoenberg to music in the last movement of his second string quartet, now regarded as the first fully atonal piece of classical music
Interesting because it reminds me of this too:

Makes me think it's a direct reference to an indirect reference... or something.

... a song covered, somewhat bizarrely, by Pete Townshend!

I heard a radio interview with Tim Gane years ago where he played through a lot of his favourite records, I remember there being something by The Doopees in there (which is a project of Yann Tomita, ex Ippu-Do). I can hear it I guess, although this post-dates the earlier Stereolab releases so who knows who's influencing who.

not a direct reference but this Eurythmics album In The Garden has some moments that sound a lot like early Stereolab to me. same kinda droney vocals and farfisa thing going on... check out “your time will come” and “all the young people (of today)”. idk has this been noted before? I’m just hearing this album.“your time will come”: https://youtu.be/VcZjwxnscp8“all the young people”: https://youtu.be/2xh0R5WRIwU
― brimstead, Tuesday, 28 July 2020 21:56 (three years ago) link
well, the farfisa is in “all the young people” anyway

Is Sing-Sing the one that sounds like one of the Mouse On Mars collaborations?
I've long maintained that Caveman Head sounds like Th' Faith Healers.

Agree about the first Eurythmics album. 'She's Invisible Now' sounded the most like Stereolab to me.
― Publicradio (3×5), Wednesday, 29 July 2020 02:26 (three years ago) link
I’m just hearing this album.
u lucky guy, it's great, total Can action

I bet that "Allures" borrows its name from the Jordan Belson short film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HVo23jC7cs
