Stereolab's fourth studio album, expanded on triple vinyl (the original pressing was a smushed single LP)! Definitely one of their more accessible albums, this 1996 effort bounces from focused grooves ("Motronomic Underground") to their signature whimsy pop ("Cybele's Reverie") to some weirdness ("Percolator") and finally their trademark electronica-fuzz ("Les Yper-Sound"). This official 2019 Duophonic reissue comes pressed on triple vinyl, and comes complete with freshly remastered sound, a bonus disc of demos and alternate versoins, and a fold out poster. Recommended.
