Stereolab – Mars Audiac Quintet

Not too sure if anyone else has experienced this, but midway through Side C, I encounter a few 'skips' - this doesn't happen on any other side. Otherwise, it sounds decent.

Anyone know why no single version of this album has the entire lyrics sheet in it? I mean, this remaster has lyrics for the songs that were missing from the original 1994 lyrics sheet...

disc#3 on my copy has an infinite runout loop on both sides preventing my auto-return/cut from triggering. is this just my press or all of them?

Definitely their most subversive record... let it play in the background, it has a sort of pleasing mororik/lounge vibe... and then you decode the lyrics...its like having a copy of Deleuze/Guattari's Anti-Oedipus bound in green Morocco leather...

Damn this record sounds great. Clear, balanced, detailed. Lovely synth sound was my favorite part.

This is a great reissue. Drop dead quiet and beautiful sounding. Why can’t all reissues be this good?

what a fucking amazing album... one of my favorites for sure

There was a Rough Trade version that came with a numbered piece of magnetic tape. Limited to 40 copies.

Not sure about this. I've never owned a Stereolab record or CD before, but I know the music, and get the feeling this should sound much better. Edit: I've heard it sounding magnificent on a very sophisticated setup now.

Record sounds crisp and clear. I want to make a joke about European languages and how I wish I could understand the band singing songs about escargot or whatever but I can't because Stereolab is a great band and this is a superb record.
