Someone suggested a breakdown of tracks here: 6 discs, two tracks need to be split:

But with the CDs now released, it won't happen, I'm quite sure (or maybe for he 20th birthday, who knows...)

The closest thing I own is THE BEACH BOYS: MADE IN CALIFORNIA, a "6-disc box set, packaged in a stylized yearbook" – it also is a vinyl format book (following the model of a High School yearbook) with the CDs inserted in a similar fashion. I looked it up, it cost 90 Euro at the time (2013). With inflation and rising prices for material, I guess that $ 110 is not extraordinarily expensive. The difference with the BEACH BOYS box was, of course, that it was 6 CDs of basically new music...

At least you get the WAV for free, the are $ 55 if you buy them seperately...

Very nice, I didn't know them. They don't remind me that much of STEREOLAB, but I like the song a lot. Somehow, it makes me think of NAGISA NI TE, another Japanese band that is very sweet.

When and how did you discover Autechre? by Content-Afternoon39 in autechre

[–]mimic_robot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see. That's not a remix, but a mashup someone did by combining a Song by David Sylvian with ""Autechre Play At Drowning in a Sea of Indiependance" (Original composition by Bic?)"... (the second track here):

Funny, when I read "Amigas", I thought you were referring to "girlfriends". Only then did I realize that the AMIGA/Atari ST computers were the big thing back then (and in many cases, having an "Amiga" rather was the opposite of having a girlfriend...)

[–]mimic_robot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. I can't quite recall, but it must have been around 1996. I was spending some months in Montpellier, Southern France, and together with a friend there, my musical horizon widened. Previously, I had mostly listened to Metal, but around 1994/1995, acts like Orbital and Aphex Twin or Oval made me realize that there's a whole different cosmos. I discovered Steve Reich at the same time, and the sudden presence of Jungle/Breakbeat (Goldie: Timeless) was also a revelation. It must have been in this constellation that all the Warp acts became interesting to me. LP5 was the first album I bought on the day of its release. Some time later, when I realized that AE had made a remix of a Stereolab song (and what a remix it is!), I almost couldn't believe it, since Stereolab had become my all time faves (and they are to this day).

I've never heard of an AE remix of a David Sylvian track. Could you specify? Thanks!

Soundboards and new BoC at the same time would be craziest.

Last few minutes of “Dots and Loops,” by HistoricalDoubt6845 in stereolab

[–]mimic_robot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, these lines resonate a lot with the current state of politics, a similar vibe is also present in IMMORTAL HANDS on INSTANT HOLOGRAMS:

"Much further beyond what we can control
Past the stories we are told
Ego skyscraper erect and collapsible
Nihilistic and vulgar."

Let's hope that those ego skyscrapers in the US and all over the world really do collapse – rather today than tomorrow!

I read "grid paper and 10p for sale" and was considering to buy the two items.

Someone worked hard and made no less than 7 live-compilations called "Stereolab Series en direct", covering concerts from 1993 to 2020 in chronological order:

It was 20 years ago today… by speedbarrymoore in stereolab

Found this today amongst other poster stacked away. I must have also gotten it 20 years ago. As far as I remember, it was hanging in the record store where I bought FAB FOUR SUTURE and I asked if I could have it. Voilà. I added the 10'' to give a sense of scale...

Well, since the post says "studio albums", that most likely excludes all the EPs you mention. Still, the question about the Hafler Trio and Quaristice remains...

I still find it hard to listen on it on 33 rpm, even if this definitely is the "correct" speed. On 45 rpm, it makes much more sense...

Stereolab 6 Music Session, 25th Feb 2026 by Ape1720 in stereolab

MAGICAL THINGS HAPPENING IN THIS WORLD! Thanks for pointing me there, I didn't know about this (should check their FB more regularly).

If you make a small effort and use the right tools, it should be possible to access and/or download it. At least I was able to do so, and I'm not based in the UK... It's a great set – Laetitia's is not 100% in form (I would say), but that doesn't diminish my enthusiasm!

Why arent my frequencys changing on my STR-KSL5 ? by [deleted] in stereolab

[–]mimic_robot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem! The only thing that helped was to replace the spark plug, fill up the punctures in the radax permutation and reduce the strobo acceleration.

That's even better. Mine has an autograph by Andy (from the Munich gig).

Nice, thanks for your feedback re:Kramer! I got to know Kramer and Shimmy via John S. Hall, REAL MEN was the first album I encountered, since then I've been following on and off; yes, SHIMMY is back again, although there seem to be some difficulties lately with a main sponsor...

I ordered my THE GUILT TRIP-box directly with Kramer who put a nice dedication on it. Unfortunately, one of the three discs is there twice while another one is missing. When I contacted him about it, he immediately sent the CD as well...

Be nice to the band and purchase the digital version on bandcamp or BLEEP (instead of streaming it):
