STEREOLAB – mars audiac quintet (CD, LP Vinyl)
Limitierte remastered Vinyl-Reissue mit Klappcover des original 1994 erschienenen, dritten Albums inkl. 24"-Faltposter und Bonustracks (Demos, Outtakes und alternative Mixe). Mit diesem Album begannen Stereolab, ihre experimentellen Tendenzen in dem für sie typischen Space-Age-Pop aufgehen zu lassen. Eine sophisticated Coolness und Catchiness half ihnen neue Fans zu gewinnen. Eines ihrer zugänglichsten Alben, das sie auf die Poolposition der heissesten Undergroundrockband der Zeit beförderte. "Mars Audiac Quintet" not only features gentler textures than any of its predecessors, but also more upbeat and hooky songs such as "Ping Pong" (the first Stereolab song to receive widespread video and alt radio airplay) and "L’Enfer Des Formes," not to mention groove-dominated tracks like "Outer Accelerator" and "Transona Five." The album is layered with a sensual and beguiling vibe, bringing the allure of lead vocalist Laetitia Sadier to the forefront. The hints of exotica and lounge music on "Transient Random-Noise Burst With Announcements" are now fully explored on the mellow, marimba-driven album closer “Fiery Yellow” (featuring major contributions from The High Llamas’ Sean O’Hagan). The bubblegum pop of “Wow and Flutter” exhibits the earliest example of the band’s Krautrock stylings being overpowered by an ingratiating melody. Mars Audiac Quintet is one of Stereolab’s most complete attempts at bridging experimental rock and retro-pop. Future releases were at times more cerebral or more poppy, but rarely again were the two simultaneously so perfectly realized." *Duophonic/Warp
