[flicka16]

Who cares??? Electrelane owns.

[henryyork]

amazing at sasquatch.

[thespreads]

And seriously Stereolab and Electrelane are not really similar at all. Who cares anyhow??

[Citadin]

They're not in the same league, Stereolab is far superior. Electralane is derivative/generic Farfisa indie.

[chippendarl]

Are you joking? Stereolab annoy the crap out of me. I know on paper they should be in the same genre as Electrelane but I find them intolerable. Electrelane have amazing jams and melodies and just a better vibe.

[Citadin]

I take back my comment on Electrelane, this is a pretty good song, sorry about the dig above.

[kelloggcerealxoxo]

i think that's because you hate them frenchies

[thespreads]

Electrelane put on seriously the best show I have ever seen at the Troubadour in LA. They are AMAZING.

[MarciusWhithood]

Who cares if either Stereolab or Electrelane are original? News flash, folks, half the shit that's out nowadays is influenced by something...in which case is influenced by something else. As long as the music's good, then that's all that matters; and personally, both bands are awesome.

[eldougdog]

oink

[Stereomouse]

Yeah but the fact remains - Stereolab are just so damn good (and original, whether they are influenced by other stuff or not) at what they do and this just isn't good, only in my opinion obviously. And I doubt very much if Electrelane just happened to lift the exact same sound from Faust by mistake...there could have been a million ways to be influenced by it/ reinterpret that stuff and all I can hear in this is Stereolab's very unique and particular sound, poorly copied.

[futuristfood]

love to be unsettled like that, like a mild unsettling... mmmm hmmmmmmmmmommmmmmm ommmmmmm.

[futuristfood]

amazing.

[generalpurposes]

You guys have got to be kidding: I love both bands, but it's completely insane for STEREOLAB fans to be accusing anyone of being derivative. Electrelane lifted this stuff from the same place Stereolab did -- krautrock acts like Faust and Neu!. If there were EVER a band that was completely non-shy about borrowing liberally from their record collections -- going so far as to NAME certain songs after the bands they're imitating -- it's Stereolab, bless their hearts.

[Stereomouse]

I'm convinced you said it all with the first sentence. I did listen to a few more of their tracks to confirm and there's just nothing new or original that I can hear. When anyone wants to hear that kind of music, I'd advise that they never need to go anywhere else but a Stereolab track to find it. Thanks though.

[Stereomouse]

Why would a Stereolab fan need to check this out? I'm a fan and I thought this was just another cheap rip-off. Hate these bands that think they can copy the genius of others and do it better - its so obnoxious! Video pretentious guff too.

[danvalencia1]

This is a very bad video, and also it has very bad sound! If you like Stereolab you should listen to Electrelane more; they're no cheap copy of Stereolab, it's very different music, although Stereolab surely influenced them.

[futuristfood]

they might be the nicest people in the world but,..stereolab are so pretentious fodder copy too. don't fool yourself. that poppsychelectrorock idea and sound are nearly as old as electricity. pop-psych-acid anthems like electric prunes "general confessional" etc.

[sgx19850820]

this is the video i need!

[cletusbuckley]

one of the best videos i have seen in a long long time. breathtaking. who made it?and is their more of directors work up on the interweb.

[flicka16]

this band is gonna be my fav at the moment but i don't get the point of that vid, explain me plz?

[cletusbuckley]

What i got from it was that people always put on a brave face but you can't keep up the false visage, false smile, of too long, Crack will show. The awkwardness of life, not to far removed from "Erasehead" or "(Safe)".

[flicka16]

Thx for clarification!! I appreciate. =D

[sgx19850820]

...

[Pixel077]
