Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
According to Drag City's Instagram update from early last year, there won't be a reissue of this album (at least not from them).
MUSICAL DELIGHT, A SONIC TREAT! ***** It's a challenge to express what Stereolab means to me, especially in a review that does justice to this extraordinary and phenomenal band. Three words come to mind: MUSICAL DELIGHT, A SONIC TREAT. In my humble opinion, Stereolab has an flawless discography, so prolific, brilliant, creative, and packed with hits that showcase their impeccable taste and unparalleled genius. Their musical style is hard to pin down, defying labels, and that's what I love about them. "Not Music" is an album recorded in 2008 during the "Chemical Chords" sessions. I'll never understand why it wasn't released then, but I respect their decision. What truly matters is that it saw the light of day. Stereolab is one of those rare bands that always captivate you. I'm deeply amazed and entranced by this album. At times, it sounds like their early work, while other tracks introduce something new. For me, it would be tough to go through life without new Stereolab albums to buy. So, the idea of their separation hit me hard. This album feels like a gift from heaven, a pleasant surprise. Lætitia Sadier & Tim Gane (and the rest of Stereolab) are incredibly imaginative, with hooks that grab you and won't let go. Of course, the icing on the cake is the celestial perch that is Stereolab. The music shifts tempo incredibly, like an elastic sound with its own vibrant energy. The keyboards are amazing, the vocals delicious, the colors retro-futuristic, with touches of jazz, avant-pop, and soul. It's hypnotic pop bricolage from Krautrock, lounge, and psychedelia, fussing with a distinctive sound. The lyrics are like a big burst of multicolored jets caressing my mind and ears. Stereolab deserves recognition for their special and creative career, and I believe that with our love and reverence, we can make that happen. People like me who deeply love one of the greatest bands, Stereolab. Honestly, with my heart full of feeling, I don't want this to be their last album. But if it is, I have nothing more to say... AWESOME, BRAVO, SPECTACULAR FINAL. It will always be in my mind and heart. Hey guys, I wish you all the best in your individual solo careers. SUCCESSFUL. 4ever STEREOLAB.
