Stereolab - Aluminum Tunes: Switched On Vol 3 (1998)

If you think my time listening to Stereolab is fully exhausted, then think again. This compilation from 1998 is a real cracker.

Stereolab - The Groop Played Space Age Bachelor Pad Music (1993)

There’s more tambourine playing by Laetitia Sadier than actual singing on this record. Apparently she was sick and didn’t get much studio time so the band just played on.

Stereolab - Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night (1999)

An end-of-century pre-millennial masterpiece. Letitia Sadier and Mary Hanson are on their best collaborative form, harmonising/counter-harmonising beautifully. The horns introduced in Dots and Loops are more prevalent throughout on this record and there’s a few avant guarde moments in the mix as well.

Stereolab - Oscillons From The Anti-Sun (2005)

While I’ve replaced ALL of my Stereolab CDs over the last 12 months with astoundingly well remastered and plump-with-music, vinyl editions, I won’t be getting rid of this rare 3CD/1DVD compilation anytime soon.

Stereolab -Switched On (1992)

This really early collection of singles and EPs that were recorded prior to their first album Peng! shows just how far they haven’t come.

Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup (1996)

This album, their fourth, may have been my very first exposure to the Stereolab collective back in the late 90’s. Many a CD was thrust into my mitts, including this one, as I ventured into Everyman Records.

05/02 Stereolab - Sound Dust (2001)

I always wanted to listen to this record this evening. It’s not quite reverse chronologically but fuck it! I make up and change the rules as I go.

Electric Light Orchestra - The Very Best Of [vinyl] (2016)

Another brilliant collection, like yesterday’s compilation, of extraordinary and ageless AOR music. Most of the time I like to feel the grime and hear the dirge.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits [vinyl] (1993)

You can thank not taking the time to properly programme stations on the car radio and the holiday break for my two latest indiscretions.
