Stereolab: Laetitia Sadier (vocals, tambourine); Mary Hansen (vocals, Moog synthesizer); Tim Gane (guitar, bass, Moog synthesizer, samples); Sean O'Hagan (organ, Moog synthesizer, bass, marimba, drums); Duncan Brown (bass); Andy Ramsay (percussion). Additional personnel: Herbie Mann (flute). Producers: Paul Tipler, Stereolab, John McEntire, Harvey Birrel. The music of Stereolab is equal parts Velvet Underground, My Bloody Valentine and Jean Jacques Perry, mixed with a touch of Krautrock, French pop and space age bachelor pad music. This heady mix has made for an impressive flow of albums over the years, but with a band as prolific as Stereolab, some tracks are likely to get lost in the shuffle. ALUMINUM TUNES addresses that problem with aplomb, housing rare non-album tracks from several sources under one roof. While perhaps not the definitive Stereolab recording (look to EMPEROR TOMATO KETCHUP for that honor), ALUMINUM TUNES serves double duty as primer for the uninitiated and fodder for the Stereolab completist. The frothy electronic pop of ALUMINUM TUNES belies the myth that rarites collections consist largely of cast-offs better left forgotten.
