I also picked up the most recent Stereolab CD, though the jury's still out on that.
Hmm. Will have to put that on the list.
As for Sound-Dust, it'll take a few listens to gel I think. My third listen to that was after having the bejesus freaked out of me on 9-12, and it proved quite soothing, actually. Curiously enough, the early Stereolab track "Mellotron" doesn't have any Mellotron on it, it's yet another rowdy organ vs indie guitar jobbie.
I wasn't referring to Stereolab; rather to various French retro-house acts and the like. (I found most of the Cassius and Grand Popo Football Club albums to be boring filler; though if I ran a trendy bar in Chapel St. or somewhere, I'm sure I'd have it playing all the time.)
Hmm, it depends. The Rhinocerose album from a couple of years back isn't too bad.
I saw these guys a few months back (in London) and they were good. Haven't seen anyone get so animated using a computer in a while... Keep up the good work.
