Ever since Mars Audiac Quintet and Emperor Tomato Ketchup, the rich production on Stereolab's recordings has belied the fact that, in live performance, the band unveils their identity as minimalists whose songs, stripped of strings, brass and vibraphones, are haiku-like in their economical usage of voice, percussion, organ and guitar. In the hands of Tim Gane, that last instrument becomes a tool used to reduce the myriad genres the group has touched (Krautrock, bossa nova, country) to their essential structures, which then become vehicles and instances of trance-inducing repetition.

All this may seem remedial to anyone remotely familiar with the group, but it bears repeating in the face of the cool reaction Stereolab's Sound-Dust may get. Listeners hoping for a radical departure from previous outings may be disappointed to find that the album doesn't necessarily break new ground - lush arrangements, enchanting melodies and otherworldly tones abound, but that's to be expected from Stereolab. But to assess this apparent lack of progress as aesthetic stasis or another signal of the group's lapse into irrelevance would be to overlook the ways in which their prolific output (eight LPs and scores of singles and EPs in the span of 10 years) incessantly reworks the same themes and ideas, as if the band wanted their records to blend into a seemingly endless, repetitious whole. It's a subversive pop formula that questions assumptions about innovation, originality and aesthetic progress, and one that Sound-Dust recalculates in superb fashion.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
