One of Stereolab finest works. Great from the very beginning to the marvelous end and a superb production. I think it's a Jim O'Rourke's job. Listen to those moving violins in contrast with those mysterious vibes and crystalline Mary's voice. I reallly think Cobra is one of the most underrated Stereolab works. Probably their best.
Someone gave me this promo in 1999 when I was working at HMV. I took it home and just let it play all the way through. Over the next 5 years I ordered and bought ALL of their catalogue. I have EVERYTHING they did on Warner/Elektra.
Probably the song I have played the most in my collection. More than all of my WuTang, Tortoise and Donald Byrd in total! Those drums followed by the violins are REDICULOUS! XYLOPHONE PUTS ME IN ANOTHER GALAXY.
It's times like listening to this song and you just wonder "why on earth don't other people 'GET' Stereolab". This is marvelous... takes you to another realm.
I feel exactly the same way. Stereolab is sublime. Leticia Sadier's sense of aesthetics is creative yet cozy... definitely get's under my skin... and the references to John Cage, Steve Reich, Esquivel, and early 60's music put it squarely within my vintage.
StereoFab...ulous.

This song is so rad. I can't explain why, it just kicks you towards the end.

I love Marys songs especially because she recorded so few lead vocals.
Very special :)
