Stereolab deliver great records over and over again. Here with 'Dots and Loops' they deliver a slightly more electronic and experimental record than the previous and oft lauded 'Emperor Tomato Ketchup'. While 'Dots' may not be as immediate as 'Emperor' it is a far more interesting record IMHO. It blends stuttering electronics with smooth melodies and soft vocals that leave one with that 'drifting away on summertime clouds' feel. Stereolab suffered with the 2002 death of the wonderful Mary Hansen in a bike accident and the loss seemed to rob them of some creativity and is not until most recently that they seem to have fully recovered. Dots and Loops captures the band at their peak. Highly recommended.
