Dots And Loops
Used - Vinyl - if10
2013 2LP in shrink with hype sticker. Stereolab is a Franco-British avant-pop band formed in London in 1990, renowned for their innovative blend of krautrock, 1960s pop, lounge, and electronic music. Characterized by hypnotic motorik rhythms, lush analog synths, and the distinctive vocals of Lætitia Sadier and the late Mary Hansen, Stereolab garnered a cult following with their experimental yet melodic approach. Their sound stands out for its fusion of vintage and modern influences, as well as its frequent use of politically charged and philosophical lyrics, often delivered in both English and French.
Released in 1997, Dots and Loops is Stereolab’s fifth studio album and a landmark in their discography. The album showcases the band’s shift towards more intricate arrangements and digital production, incorporating elements of jazz, bossa nova, and glitchy electronica. Produced in part by John McEntire of Tortoise, "Dots and Loops" is lauded for its seamless fusion of organic instrumentation with cutting-edge studio techniques. Tracks like "Miss Modular" and "Brakhage" highlight Stereolab’s ability to craft sophisticated, accessible pop music that remains both timeless and influential within the indie and electronic music scenes.

Dots And Loops (Expanded Edition)
New - Vinyl - D-UHF-D17R
Sealed 2019 Deluxe remastered expanded edition reissue of the 1997 classic. Not a factory sealed item; Housed in a PVC outer protective sleeve with hype sticker. We will ship vinyl outside of the PVC sleeve as to avoid the dangers of gas leeching onto the vinyl surface. Includes a bonus disk of demos and alternate versions, fold out poster and a DL card. "On Emperor Tomato Ketchup, Stereolab moved in two directions simultaneously -- it explored funkier dance rhythms while increasing the complexity of its arrangements and compositions. For its follow-up, Dots and Loops, the group scaled back its rhythmic experiments and concentrated on layered compositions. Heavily influenced by bossa nova and swinging '60s pop, Dots and Loops is a deceptively light, breezy album that floats by with effortless grace. Even the segmented, 20-minute "Refractions in the Plastic Pulse" has a sunny, appealing surface -- it's only upon later listens that the interlocking melodies and rhythms reveal their intricate interplay. In many ways, Dots and Loops is Stereolab's greatest musical accomplishment to date, demonstrating remarkable skill -- their interaction is closer to jazz than rock, exploring all of the possibilities of any melodic phrase. Their affection for '60s pop keeps Dots and Loops accessible, even though that doesn't mean it is as immediate as Emperor Tomato Ketchup. In fact, the laid-back stylings of Dots and Loops makes it a little difficult to assimilate upon first listen, but after a few repeated plays, its charms unfold as gracefully as any other Stereolab record."

Electrically Possessed [Switched On Vol. 4]
New Import - D-UHF-D42
New, 2021 3LP Gatefold Compilation; UK Import. Comes Housed In A Uni-Pak Style Gatrefold. These Come Un-Sealed, In An Outer Sleeve With Hype Sticker Affixed To Front. "Appearing Just Over A Decade After Stereolab Disbanded, Electrically Possessed: Switched On, Vol. 4 Is A Welcome Refresher On The EP's, Singles, And Rarities They Issued From 1999 To 2008. The Collection's Nine-Year Span Covers Nearly Half Of The Band's Career -- By Contrast, The Original Switched On Gathered Just Six Months' Worth Of Music -- But Like The Other Volumes In The Series, It Captures The Flavor Of Its Era Just As Completely As Stereolab's Full-Lengths. Electrically Possessed Begins With The First Of The Microbe Hunters, A Mini-Album That Arrived Soon After The Group's Heady 1999 Effort Cobra And Phases Group Play Voltage In The Milky Night And Provided A Playful Contrast To That Release. While The Nine-minute "Outer Bongolia" Rivals Cobra's Ambition With Its Extravaganza Of Wah-wah Guitar, Brass, And Xylophone, The Serenely Spacey Pop Of "I Feel The Air (Of Another Planet)" And The Strutting Jazz-Funk Of "Barock-Plastic" Could've Appeared On Emperor Tomato Ketchup. Much Of The Rest Of Switched On, Vol. 4 Consists Of Limited-Edition Tour Singles That The Band Recorded At Tim Gane And Laetitia Sadier's Computer-based Home Studio, Which They Built After They Fell In Love With Digital Recording While Making 1997's Dots And Loops. Though Many Of These Tracks Ride A Similar Groove, There Are Several Standouts. "L'exotisme Interieur" From 2008 Is Chiming, Blissed-out Pop; The 2001 A-Side "Free Witch And No Bra Queen" Pairs A Sexy Spy Movie Theme Worthy Of Lalo Schifrin With Spooky Vocal Harmonies; And "Calimero," A 1999 Collaboration With Brigitte Fontaine, Is One Of Their Clearest Homages To French Pop À La Serge Gainsbourg. Some Of Electrically Possessed's Other Highlights Were Composed For Various Projects That Fit Stereolab's Aesthetic Perfectly. The Bustling Collage Of Vocals, Beats, And Burbling Synths That Is "B.U.A." Reunited Them With Visual Artist Charles Long, For Whom They Composed Music For The Amorphous Body Study Center, While "Variation One"'s Funky Synth Workout First Appeared On The Soundtrack To The Documentary Moog, Appropriately Enough. The Collection's Previously Unreleased Material Ranges From Snippets Like The Spacious Dots And Loops Outtake "Pandora's Box Of Worms" That Will Likely Appeal Most To Hardcore Fans To Buried Treasures Such As "Solar Throw-Away (Original Version)," A Tart, Brassy Ballad That Makes For One Of The Set's Finest Moments. While There Might Not Be Quite As Many Essential Tracks Here As On The Other Switched On Volumes, Electrically Possessed Is A Reminder That Stereolab Were Releasing So Much Good Music That It Was Easy To Take It For Granted At The Time, And It's Well Worth A Listen For Fans Who May Have Missed Or Glossed Over These Songs When They Were First Released."
