officially my #2 ‘lab by this point I reckon, prefer it to ETK

Transient & Sound-Dust are wildcards but I’d definitely place them both below this at least. Emperor is fading slightly.

I certainly did. That album is a true classic.



Fantastic band.

This album is more of a 'free spirit' than some of their stuff. Perhaps negating some of the consistent wholesome mood aspect found on the quite wonderful you-know-what #1 lab (and others). Having said that it really is a creative concoction of loveliness and there are highlights aplenty. The opening run has grown on me massively of late.

Officially #2 lab now, of that I have no doubt. It also crowns 97-01 as their peak era and likely one of the greatest runs of all time (you could extend this, of course... maybe I will?!)

only issue with bumping this is it will create an imbalance in the Stereolab universe as my 3.5>4 game still needs work

Same!!! Perfect top 3. Closely followed by Transient.

Oh my, what a coincidence. We are so different, yet sometimes the same. Curious. I'm undecided what's after SD, perhaps Transient could be the one, but this requires further review. Emperor was a shoe-in for the top spots before.

I can't see it being the others (Peng!, Mars and Margarine... all solidly great/great-ish in their own right, but a step below) so this is the conundrum. I will endeavour to find out and shall file my findings in due course.

Haha, yeah, we do sometimes agree 100%. It's a good feeling.



Margerine is my fave out of those other three, it maybe beats Emperor too for fifth place.



The Dots-Cobra-Dust stretch is on a whole different level of course.

I was waiting to bump this. Something tells me it definitely deserves that 4.5 though… I’ve been a rampant demoter for too long.

Happy to see the 4.5 happened Demon. It was indeed needed.



Came here to share how much I love Op Hop Detonation. There's super good moments here everywhere, really.
