    It eases up on the rigorous deconstructivist tendencies that have so permeated the last two 'Lab records, taking a cue instead from the carefree effervescence typical of recent live encounters.
  2. Mojo
    70
    The 'Lab's fondness for Latin exotica pushes the music well clear of egghead tedium.
  3. Select
    60
    This is more a return to formula than a step forward. [July 2000, p.111]

    This is not my favorite Stereolab album but it is certainly in my top 5... ok, maybe my top 7. This album is likely salvaging some of the favorites that could not make it on to previous albums. Given you can find it most anywhere for under $5 it is certainly worth your consideration.… Expand
