A Guide to Stereolab's Albums

The list author says:
	"Stereolab's best album IMHO. The minimalist style represents a marked shift from their previous, electro-rock albums. The back-and-forth, sing-song vocals are more beautiful and entrancing than ever."

The list author says:
	"The jazzy follow-up to Dots and Loops is another high point. Not all fans appreciate its languid style, but I love to be transported into the milky night by these rich and evocative sounds."

The list author says:
	"Many consider Stereolab's best-selling album to be their greatest. This is where Stereolab really hit their stride. Just really great, catchy songs, with a philosophical twist. Classic Stereolab."

The list author says:
	"The last of the really great Stereolab albums, with plenty of the old magic. This album is a fitting elegy to tragically-killed vocalist Mary Hansen, being both celebratory and tinged with sadness."

The list author says:
	"This boxset EP collection deserves to be high up the list. The 3 CDs (and one DVD) are packed with first-class material, including some great tracks that aren't on any of the LPs."

The list author says:
	"Many afficianados consider this early classic to be Stereolab's greatest album. It combines pumping electro-rock with haunting lullabye, creating an artfully woven tapestry of musical contrasts."

The list author says:
	"Another electro-rock classic. This collection of early-90s singles and B-sides all hangs together well. The tracks include some of Stereolab's finest, e.g. the popular "French Disko"."

The list author says:
	"This 2 CD collection from the 90s is another example of how even Stereolab's left-overs make a very appetising meal. These tunes are mellow, but still very catchy and interesting."

The list author says:
	"The spacey follow-up to Transient Random Noise Bursts began the transition from electro-rock to a more mellow, loungey sound."

The list author says:
	"Stereolab's underrated debut. The surging guitars recall the likes of My Bloody Valentine. But this perhaps makes "Switched On" more accessible than Stereolab's more recent, low-key albums."

The list author says:
	"Released around the same time as Switched On, and similar in style and quality. Get them both. Heck, get every Stereolab album!"

The list author says:
	"Many fans would put this higher up the list. I like it a lot, but find it rather unnerving. Beneath the chocolatey surface, there lurks something sinister..."

The list author says:
	"This mini-album's lowish position on the list reflects its brevity rather than its quality, as it's actually not a bad example of early Stereolab. But it was soon to be overshadowed by great LPs."

The list author says:
	"A mini-album from 2000 that's rather underrated. I rate it higher than the most recent albums. Mary Hansen's backing vocals mean this still has the classic Stereolab sound."

The list author says:
	"Stereolab's last three albums aren't bad, but not their best. The bright, jazzy style has become rather samey. I think I like Not Music the best, though it consists of left-overs from Chemical Chords."

The list author says:
	"This album and Not Music are hard to tell apart."

The list author says:
	"A bit soporific in parts, but pleasant enough as long as you aren't handling heavy machinery!"
