    Has a playful, at times otherworldly style which brings to mind children's fairy tales.

    Offers the sound of Stereolab doing what they do best. Love it or hate it, it won't alter the world, it just is.

    I don't know which Stereolab album is more nauseating: Sound-Dust or the last one. [#51, p.118]

    By far Stereolab's most interesting and emotional work. Amazing structural development, with interesting polyrhythms. The brilliance of this is hidden just below the surface. Don't listen to the lazy critics who overlook this album.… Expand
