Stereolab includes: Laetitia Sadier (vocals); Tim Gane (guitar); Mary Hansen, Richard Harrison, Morgane Lhote, Andrew Ramsay. Additional personnel: Rebecca McFaul, Shelley Weiss, Poppy Branders, Maureen Loughnane (strings); Paul Mertens, Dave Max Crawford, Jeb Bishop, Ross Reed (brass); Sean O'Hagan (piano, Fender Rhodes piano, Farfisa organ); Xavier "Fischfinger" Fischer (piano); John McEntire (synthesizer, percussion, vibraphone, marimba); Douglas McCombs (acoustic bass); Andi Toma (electronic percussion, sound effects); Jan St. Werner (sound effects, insect horns). Producers: John McEntire, Andi Toma, Stereolab. Recorded at Idful Music Corp., Chicago, Illinois and Academy of St. Martin In The Street, Dusseldorf, Germany. Is the sound of Stereolab's Moogs, electric keyboards, and strummed guitars starting to infiltrate mainstream pop? Or is the band itself getting continually better at its electronic bubblegum grooves? Whatever the reason, each Stereolab album is that much catchier than the one before. The music arrives sounding like it's been in your head for years. And some of it may well have been: the occasional trumpet blasts might as well have come from an old Beach Boys album. While the Beach Boys made their mark by topping their lush pop with words of sadness and disillusionment, Stereolab graces a warm analog pulse with soft-but-icy female vocals (in French and English) that comment on stagnation, aimlessness and the pointlessness of capitalist life. "Brakhage" finds that voice repeating "We need so damn/Many things/To keep our stupid/Lives going" over what may be the happiest pop groove in history. On "The Flower Called Nowhere" Stereolab sings of "the stagnant mass" in between chipper interjections of la la las over a 6/8 pulse, while the 17-minute "Refractions in the Plastic Pulse" sounds like PET SOUNDS as remixed by Tortoise.

Rolling Stone (10/2/97, p.54) - 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...moving ever further away from the one-chord drone mesh of its early days....DOTS AND LOOPS fleshes out its rhythms with a range of hybridizations....Amazing stuff..." Spin (11/97, p.144) - 8 (out of 10) - "...DOTS AND LOOPS trip up its relentless groove with finely textured tracks that seem to float in place and space....It's a less blissed-out journey, but their most audacious music." Entertainment Weekly (9/26/97, p.78) - "...Cynics may dismiss the band's mix of smoothed-out sambas, limpid lullabies, and dreamy drones as highbrow Muzak, but you don't need a degree in musicology or semiotics to fall under the spell of these seductive melodies." - Rating: A Melody Maker (12/20-27/97, pp.66-67) - Ranked #38 on Melody Maker's list of 1997's "Albums Of The Year." Melody Maker (9/27/97, p.50) - "...fabulously fluid, so light and plain lovely....[Stereolab] trails its elegant hands again in the warm waters of French sixties pop, Latino jazz, and Muzak." Village Voice (2/24/98) - Ranked #29 in the Village Voice's 1997 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll. NME (Magazine) (12/20-27/97, pp.78-79) - Ranked #26 in NME's 1997 Critics' Poll. NME (Magazine) (9/20/97, p.53) - 8 (out of 10) - "...DOTS AND LOOPS...is the most coherent, consistent and downright comfortable Stereolab opus to date. It is also their most full-on pop album so far....the best Stereolab album yet."

On Emperor Tomato Ketchup, Stereolab moved in two directions simultaneously -- it explored funkier dance rhythms while increasing the complexity of its arrangements and compositions. For its follow-up, Dots and Loops, the group scaled back its rhythmic experiments and concentrated on layered compositions. Heavily influenced by bossa nova and swinging '60s pop, Dots and Loops is a deceptively light, breezy album that floats by with effortless grace. Even the segmented, 20-minute "Refractions in the Plastic Pulse" has a sunny, appealing surface -- it's only upon later listens that the interlocking melodies and rhythms reveal their intricate interplay. In many ways, Dots and Loops is Stereolab's greatest musical accomplishment to date, demonstrating remarkable skill -- their interaction is closer to jazz than rock, exploring all of the possibilities of any melodic phrase. Their affection for '60s pop keeps Dots and Loops accessible, even though that doesn't mean it is as immediate as Emperor Tomato Ketchup. In fact, the laid-back stylings of Dots and Loops makes it a little difficult to assimilate upon first listen, but after a few repeated plays, its charms unfold as gracefully as any other Stereolab record. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

独自のスタンスでどのシーンにも括ることができない確固たる人気をを印象付けた5作目のフルアルバム。ジョン・マッケンタイア(トータス、シー・アンド・ケイク)やショーン・オハーガン(ハイ・ラマズ)らのミュージシャンも参加しており実験的且つカラフルなサウンドスケープを繰り広げます。ラウンジーなポップソング『Miss Modular』は必聴!
