I already have these songs on like 5 albums each. Thanks Rhino!
It doesn’t even have “The Free Design” on it! Or “Captain Easychord”! Man, that’s almost as bad as the Oasis best-of that doesn’t have “Live Forever” on it.
This is actually a pretty good intro mix, but I do wonder why “Free Design,” “Captain Easychord,” and “Noise of Carpet” are missing, even though they are some of the more accessable singles.
They get major points for including “Metronomic Underground,” “Crest,” “Come and Play in the Milky Night,” and “Brakhage,” though.
Oh, psh, this is a good selection, though it should have “Captain Easychord.” I think it’s about time for a nouvelle vague of Stereolab fans; not enough people give them props, as much as they stay afloat by their amazing body of work otherwise.
