Stereolab favorites

I love this band very much, so I felt inspired to collect most of my favorite tracks of theirs and crunch them into 10 minutes. A difficult task, considering their prolificness throughout their career, spanning the better part of two decades. Perhaps this video can serve as an introduction to this great and unique group - or if you're already familiar with them, maybe there's a few tracks here you haven't heard before.

I love this! If I only knew that I was going to have a good day for 10 minutes, It would be listening to this! That part in Canned Candies is my favorite stereolab moment, I think! Or is it Flourescence or Slow Fast Hazel? Either way, brilliant! Thanks so much!

[moronichogism]

@MrSterlingforest you're welcome! canned candies is one of my absolute faves of theirs, too. really should have been included on sounddust, imo~

[kelloggcerealxoxo]

where are the songs from their early albums like 'switched on' and 'refried ectoplasm'?

[moronichogism]

@kelloggcerealxoxo I don't enjoy their earlier songs nearly as much as their mid and late career music

[AbbeyRoadkill1]

Great job! Many of my faves are represented here too. I hope Stereolab make more music in the future. RIP Mary Hansen. LONG LIVE THE GROOP!

[kleptomarnie]

...oh, well, apparently we have more in common than tastes in video game music!

[DOODOOBROWN3828]

someone please upload an allures video. i'm to lazy.

[Andysays]

Thank you for this. I abandoned the Groop after Dots and Loops, but you show me that I need to go back.

[danielhernandezful]

i want to hear banana monster please

[1emmain]

Well done. Totally agree with many of your choices. Shame not to see more of Sound Dust on there though - "Nought more terrific than man" and "Nothing to do with me" are there best tracks of all, not so?

[mootbooxle]

OH MAN WE LIKE THE SAME STEREOLAB TUNES!!!!!!!!!

[broncapopular]

A pesar que no incluye la primera etapa de Stereolab es una muy buena selección ;)

@forwardrawrof am i going to have to block you before you will go away or do you think you will get bored sometime shortly?
