      @@jamesedgewood4643 I take no credit. It's a lyric from Phil Elverum in his album The Microphones in 2020. You can hear it at this time stamp, but I'd recommend starting from the beginning and listening to the whole album through, then more of his stuff: czcams.com/video/A7BkabF31ak/video.html

      I have a similar dilemma, although I first heard about them in 1995 with the song "Ping Pong". I was into so many different bands at the time that I didn't really get deep into them. I did have the CD's Mars Audiac Quintet and Dots and Loops but didn't spend much time with them. Now I'm appreciating some of the music I overlooked.

    I saw them in 1999 in Germany @ the Southside Festival. There was bad weather since many days. Stereolab played on a side stage covered with a big tent.
    As it started hard raining again, many people from the main stage moved to side stage and filled the tent. Minutes before there were not many people as the started to play, what a shame.
    They played amazing. And loud, so pure.
    I stood in the first row, no barriers. Only Stereolab in front of me.
    what a gift !
    I can remember they gave admission with 'French Disco'' in a approx. 20 minutes version.
    It blew my head away. mixed with countless Hashpipes I couldn't grasp to have that all in the first row.
    One of the most intensive moments in my life.

In the coming weeks there'll be brand spankin' new and higher quality encodes of all your favorite videos! When you see a new upload of an old favorite (for instance you can find THIS one HERE Stereolab -French Disko (NEW)) please be sure to like it, comment on it, and share it so that it gains traction in search rankings and I can eventually replace the old versions altogether. Thank you all so very much for all the positive feedback and thanks for watching!

    also: from this same period they released The Free Design as well as First of the Microbe Hunters EP's and when put together make my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Stereolab "album" hands down. Their control over their Moog textures are at full power. I've never heard such stunningly beautiful synthetic soundscapes. It makes me think of beautiful German Expressionist futuristic cities with everyone flying around in jet cars (except in color! beautiful kaleidoscopic color... )

    This is from a show called 'the Word' which was Channel Fours flagship late night Friday 'yoof' tv show. They had all manner of bands on, from metal to hip hop, indie and dance. As a 14 year old I used to watch it every week to catch cool bands live. The crowd was always idiotic, which made for some great awkward moments like this one! I will never forget this performance, or Therapy? for that matter; they destroyed it.

      It's really the late 70s to mid 90s that were great since a lot of underground / diy / indie bands were making it into the mainstream and there was heavy influence from the UK. By the late 90s, British influence was really on the decline and style over substance edgelord music (nu metal) and overly polished pop, r&b, and hiphop started taking over in the US.

    Mars Audaic Quintet is the perfect album that bridges the old style (cyclical VU "Sister Ray" riff drone w/farfisa) and the modern burbling Moog-heavy sound. It's got stone cold classics like "Ping Pong", "Wow and Flutter", "Three Longers Later" and "International Colouring Contest".

    The next album chronologically is cited by almost everybody as the band's masterpiece: Emperor Tomato Ketchup. "Cybele's Reverie" "Les Yper Sound" and "the Noise of Carpet" are big universal favorites. You can't go wrong with these two.
