Electrically Possessed [Switched On Volume 4]

by Stereolab

supported by

Lord Dubious Another odds 'n' sods collection, this time focusing on the groop's late 90s and 00s material. Definitely an interesting phase for them, with plenty of ups and downs to navigate their creativity through. Dense and rewarding! Favorite track: Household Names.

loljk Legendary release from a legendary band. Favorite track: Speck Voice.

huichilobitos_11_ The Switched On series once again demonstrates how in Stereolab the "secondary" tracks are as good as the primary. That's why I will always distrust whoever says that the Groop has a single better album or a single better song.
Favorite track: I Feel The Air {Of Another Planet}.

David Roberts Great to have these tracks together on CD even though I already have some of the excellent tracks. Absolutely wowed by Stereolab's output over the years. This compilation is superb.

Welcome To The Sea I am so stoked to have all the music I missed out on when I was a starving artist, in my youth, not actively buying or seeing them live. Very excited!!!
