Comment:
undoubtedly the first half of the 90s predicted what would be
happening at the end of 00s and in the beginning of the 10s. By my
opinion by experimental side there were many great experimental pop
acts in advance but the most important ones were My Bloody Valentine
with its
Loveless which can freely be considered the most sultry
guitar music ever made. It is the representative of perfect/ideal pop
where tenderness was seamlessly intertwined with violet noise the
music which is the candidate of your very deep dreams. I personally
dreamed of Kevin Shields led combo's music for many years and when
getting it finally it was bigger than my dreams used to ever be.
Stereolab came from the tradition of C86 and jangle pop (from
McCarthy to turning out into something very different. By the way,
being partly influenced by MBV, and partly by krautrock-driven
motorik beat, particularly by such artists as Neu!, and Faust. Yet
the combo's idiosyncrasy come to appear and last for the coming
decadences and artists because Tim Gane and Laetitia Sadier led
distilled something wondrous from a range of diverse styles. From
quite straightforward drone pop/organcore in the beginning to more
sophisticated incantations through incisive electronic music,
psychedelic pop and krautrock and bossa nova and French pop. The
future had been presented through the past and present. Like the
philosophical proposition that the modes of time cannot be existed
without each other. All of that brought the combo forward as a main
proponent of the so-called ideal pop. On the other hand, the combo's
music justified itself as post-rock essentially rather than the bare
stylistic label. If such styles as chillwave came to the terrain it
was very understandable for indie people the task of Stereolab as a
main linkage and premise to it. The Brazil-based imprint The Blog
That Celebrates Itself brings to us a bunch of 15 compositions
reflecting upon other possibilities for Stereolab which wouldn't and
shouldn't have been realised for. For instance, singing songs with
male voices and by employing more rough, lo-fi approach. There are
represented such artists as Pia Fraus, Lake Ruth And Listening
Center, Nax, Brilliant Beast, The Ludovico Treatment, Sexores, Blue
Unit with April Zimont (Glowfriends), A Thousand Hours, The Death of
Pop, El Camino de Los Caminos, La Suma de Todos los Tiempos, Waving
Blue, Verstarker, Leisure Walks, and Perfectos Extraños. Great
miscellany for a great ensemble.
