Comment: Stereolab was
undoubtedly one of the most important indie combos in the 90s along with My
Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Lycia, Mercury Rev, Labradford and Tortoise. Their
sound was a mix of shoegaze,
Krautrock, art pop, indietronica, French disco, and psychedelic pop.
Fortunately the Sadier-Gane led combo albums would not bear clear-cut elements
from their Marxist principles whose representation would have been a simply
ridiculous, populist bullshit just to show off for nobody. I guess that the
die-hard anarchist would despise the genocidal tendencies so characteristic to
communism throughout the history. This set involves 19 tracks and the result is
a vivid kraut jamming saturated with bitty nylon bass strings, psychedelic
Farfisa organ and Moog synthesiser sounds and Neu! inspired motorik beats. It
is a great live session by the great group indeed.
