内容紹介
This box set contains three CDs with 35 songs, 28 of which are previously unreleased in the US, plus a DVD with rare videos and UK TV performances, all for a low list price. The CD tracks were culled from eight EPs previously only available as imports. Seven of these had matching videos that are featured on the DVD. The first pressing includes a limited edition sticker set featuring early EP album art. "...this Anglo-Franco-Australian partnership whips up Velvet Underground buzz, Krautrock groove, easy listening lightness, and vintage French pop sweetness into an instantly identifiable frappe"--Rolling Stone.
Amazonレビュー
When you're a prolific band that also happens to be mighty friendly to your obsessive compulsive collector fan base, you wind up releasing a lot of singles and EPs with material that's otherwise unavailable on your albums. And here, for the price of a Japanese pressing of the Fluorescences EP on an auction site alone, you get Stereolab's eight Elektra EPs, from 1993's Jenny Ondioline to 2001's Captain Easychord. The "groop"'s collaborative EPs ( Crumb Duck, Uilab) are not included, but there is a DVD with rarely-seen videos and television performances. This box set serves far more than a plug-the-gaps exercise for trainspotters; as with the singles collections Switched-On volumes one, two and three (did we not mention this band is prolific?), it's an intriguing retrospective of the band in their mature years. And unlike those comps, this set often highlights the band's more lengthy, experimental songs. "Les Yper Yper Sound," for instance, John McEntire's distorted, delightfully repetitious reworking of "Yper Sound" from Emperor Tomato Ketchup, is spine-tinglingly awesome. --Mike McGonigal

レビューのフィルタリング中に問題が発生しました。後でもう一度試してください。
8曲のプロモ映像とTVショウ3曲を収録したDVDが付いてこのプライスはお買得。DVDはリージョン・オールでNTSC。
初回プレスにはアルバム/EPジャケットのステッカー・セットが付きます。
CD3枚とDVDと8枚のジャケステッカーが入ったお買い得で長く楽しめるボックスです。クレジット関係はもうすこし見やすく整理されていると良かったですけど、、。
なんといってもオススメはDVD!
TV出演時のスタジオライヴもかなりレアなものだと思いますが、個人的にはマンレイやコクトーや『アンダルシアの犬』の時代のシネマトグラフをイメージさせる「cybele's reverie」や「The Free Design」などのPVが大好きです。
この値段なら、好きな人はDVDの為だけにでも買ってもよいと思います。
一曲目からFluorescencesなんていうポップで耳なじみのいい曲からはじまり、もうその時点ですでに気持ちいい。それからも続く名曲…。
たくさん出ていて中にはレア盤として入手すらできないものもたくさんあるstereolabの作品ですが、こういったコンピレーションはこれまで部分的にしかstereolabを聴いていなかった方にもオススメできるものだとおもいます。Crumb Duckなどの渋いEPあたりのカットが無いのも少し悲しい所ではありますけれど…。
DVDではいつくかのビデオクリップと彼らがテレビに出演した模様がおさめられている。先日、交通事故により他界してしまったメアリー・ハンセンの姿も。

But what virtues has this compilation to occupy so comfortably this place on my preferences?
In this compilation of three discs, the material of all the EPs released by the band until 2005 is grouped, therefore the material grouped here does not respond to a single musical concept, but to as many as there are EPs, and since Stereolab was a band that was reinvented at every step, what we have here is a multifaceted picture of what exactly was the band and what made this group titanic, a road map that portrays a path almost without weaknesses year after year.
Practically all the schemes that the band tried are here: dialogical songs like "With Friends like These", amalgams of analogue and digital music ("On-Off"), post-genre pieces like "Les aimies des mêmes", bouncing electro-ballads like "Pinball", "Allures", "Canned Candies" or "Fuorescences", delicate jewels like "Spinal Column", hymns like "Brigitte", slow and peaceful monsters like "You Used to Call Me Sadness" or " Young Lungs ", multisectional beasts such as" Long Life Love "or" Moodles" and noisy shoegaze-like soundscapes like" Narco Martenot "," Escape Pod "," Heavy Denim "or" Golden Ball ".
This album could well be the gateway for those who do not know the Groop, since there is no better place to see how versatile and inventive they were. This is an observatory from which you can see their clever way of transcending genres, the first of them the restrictive and stagnant rock.
After a few regular albums* they again compiled non-album cuts on "Refried Ectoplasm" (subtitled "Switched On, Vol. 2"). Then, a few years later, the double-CD "Aluminum Tunes" (aka "Switched On, Vol. 3) presented many more non-album cuts.
Now this fine tradition has been repeated with the amazing collection "Oscillons from the Anti-Sun." It's about time!
Like many 'Lab fans I have tried to collect all the past singles and EPs but with limited success. While all of Stereolab's regular albums have remained in print, many singles and EPs have not.
About one third of these songs, or at least the versions represented here, are entirely new to me. This is very exciting, especially since our much-missed Mary Hansen is heard throughout. It's like having the impossible: new releases featuring Mary's sweet voice.
Anyone who doesn't like this collection doesn't like Stereolab. I mean, don't you get sick of short-sighted people who complain that every new 'Lab album doesn't sound like "Mars Audiac Quintet"? Growth always means leaving the slow ones behind.
*(By the way, an Album is a collection of music. A 12", 33 1/3 RPM vinyl phonograph record is called an LP. I only state this to clarify things for the kind of people who call video game cartridges "tapes" and who try to re-wind their DVDs.)
I want to add one thing. Stereolab has a player who I don't see getting enough credit: drummer Andy Ramsay. While the other players are making all kinds of experimental zooms, gleeps and boings, Andy keeps up a solid rock beat that ultimately is the only thing keeping this band on the ground. His drumming is some of the most appropriate and tasteful anywhere.
