Stereolab’s Dots And Loops (in 5 Minutes) | Liner Notes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 ноя 2017
- The British-French band Stereolab was somehow of its time and from another time altogether. On their fifth album, 1997’s Dots and Loops, Stereolab synthesized their retro-musical mastery and brainy ambition in a newly seamless way, creating a dreamy, detail-rich triumph that channels the vibes of the 90s while hinting at something more futuristic.

Stereolab’s Dots And Loops in 5 Minutes 
Видеоклипы
I don't know any of the song titles because this album flows so well that I've never really listened to a track on its own. This album feels like one long dreamy song
Also because they never sing the song's title 18 times in a single track like 99% of other artists.
@@californiahummus also french
One of, if not the very best of thier entire catalogue...
Every Stereolab album ends up being my favorite Stereolab album at some point.
Same here. I love their Motorik early works until mid90ies and Thun came Tomato Ketchup&Dots and Loops....
they never made a bad album.👌🥰
One of the finest albums ever recorded.
and yet Cobra might be even better. I love them both.
Indeed. It is impossible to fully describe this record to another person.
I saw them live on both tours in the 1990's. They've playing a General Admission show at Balboa Theater tonight & there are still tickets left! Hmmm.... Can I handle standing for over 2 hours in the middle od hundreds of people at 48 years old. Think I'd need some good drugs. I don't see how I can not go though? I have to go. Last time I saw them was on the Sound Dust tour. The Margerine Eclipse show was mind blowing. I've never seen a bad Stereolab performance. One of the best bands of all time.
There *are* no bad Stereolab LPs. Just different shades of brilliance.
RIP Mary Hansen.
Yeah, consummate babe and badass musician
Man do I miss her
I love this album. Refractions in the Plastic Pulse is my shit.
you sir, are a man of good taste.
saaame
That part 8 minutes in where there is a vocoder rhythm and a sweeping glissando with delay I get chills running up my spine each time.
@@robertsyrett1992 ooh that's one of my favorite parts
kidding, the whole song is
@@basielu The whole album is my fantastic, I can't fault you!
Fuck. Yes. I can't believe you guys did this album over Emperor Tomato Ketchup. This is one of the most underrated albums ever IMO. It's like a seamless combination of early 90s Tortoise-esque post-rock and trip-hop, and the sound is so pristine and clean and futuristic that it's at the same time so 90s, but also timeless.
Check moonshake and Pram. They did it before them :)
This album is older than me and still sounds fresh and original, love it
This REALLY deserves a full Pitchfork Classic. Would be amazing! One of my top 3 favorite bands of all time, what a perfect discography :) Got to meet Laetitia a few months ago when she played in Boston and she was wonderful!
One of the best and most creative albums ever
I´m not surprised that Pitchfork does not mention Stereloab was huge influenced by Brazillian music, specially by Clube da Esquina harmonies.
It is odd that they mentioned the Krautrock influence but not the Brazilian stuff. Clube da Esquina is my all-time favourite double album (and maybe album period) and Dots and Loops is in my top 40 too.
I agree. Good bit of samba and bossa nova influences were part of their artistic evolution.
Loving all the Stereolab content lately. They need more love.
I knew this album was special when my classically trained composer friend asked if I had heard of it. I'd been along for the ride since the duophonic days. What a defining moment in my sonic history.
Completely blew my mind and changed my musical tastes when it came out when i was 17. First time an album i'd really been waiting for actually not only lived up to my expectations but actually surpassed them..still sounds fucking gorgeous today
20 Years? Man, I’m old... Bought it month it came out and then saw them live.
Never heard anything like this before.
Merci!
I love Dots and Loops so much that in the year 2000 all the characters of my party in the game Icewind Dale were named after songs off this album.
My favorite album of all time :)
I had no idea mouse on mars were involved. 97 was a good year for music.
I love how a few of the songs Stereolab made were so cluttered in sound, yet so smooth
My mother introduced me to stereolab, she listened to it when she was a teenager in the 90’s, I ended up loving stereolab of course
do broadcast please
prolly in my top 5 albums ever
Dots and Cobras are their best albums IMHO. Brilliant. Thank you MacIntire.
Stereolab is totally awesome.
Diagonals is one of the most formal, slickest, and uplifting songs ever recorded
Not my favorite Stereolab album, but definitely a fucking brilliant work of art. One of the truly great, seemingly forgotten, bands of the 90s...
which is ur favorite?
Transient random or mars audiac are great
Mars Audiac or Emperor! -Agreed w/ OP, Stereolab is objectively one of the best 90's bands that nobody knows of, it's insane!
It's my favorite but they have other great albums as well.
Been so long since I've listened to them tbh I don't know which I'd call my favorite. I know I like ETK more than this, but idk if that's my fav. I should revisit their albums.
A Very very special body of work. what a magical album.
One of my favourite albums of the 90's and my favourite Stereolab for sure!
Do Slint's Spiderland
andrewwsk8 meh...its sounds so thin...
Your brain is thin.
Mike Quinlivan I thought it was kinda boring. I didn’t really like it
fr man
There's a really cool spiderland doc on RUclips if you look it up, it's like 45 minutes and tells you everything about the band
I agree that this album was their pinnacle. Such a blessing when it came out.
One of my all time favorite albums. Gonna go watch the Miss Modular video now. It's a scorcher.
My dad found this in 2010. It’s just so beautiful. I listen to it to cheer me up when I’m sad. Never really realized it was it’s almost a decade older than me
I am a HUGE fan of stereolab, and I just want to say THANK YOU for making such a well-produced video! The script + research done is amazing, & the visuals are perfect! I'm sharing this with everyone I know so they can finally understand my love for this band :)
Diagonals is just too good, it’s such a great acid jazz tune. It’s almost trance like, those droning drum breaks are addicting.
my first favorite album, i have memories of being 7 and running around my dad’s office while he played it
Still waiting on that since I left you episode
Refractions in the Plastic Pulse is quite possibly the pinnacle of music
One of my fav albums of all time!
This was so well done. Stereolab grew up on this album. It's quite possibly the most perfect album that I own. There is no deadweight here.
Hell YES!!! So cool to finally see a feature for Dots & Loops! Favorite post-rock album of all time!
They are so underrated/: people are missing out on great music
one of the best Bands of all time.
Love them so much💕❤️💕
Stereolab are the best, all their albums rock. Such a cool and unique sound that I always find myself returning to.
@dirty doc It was "Refractions In The Plastic Pulse," and the section they played is about 4 and half minutes into the song.
This is one of my all time faves
One of my favorite albums. I never understood why some of their other albums are more popular.
Yes - and brilliant analysis. Well researched - so helpful!!!! Thanks!!!
I heard that album in a shop in Melbourne and was instantly hooked. I bought everything they did after that.
"dots and loops" one of the greatest album that i ever heard
One of my favorite albums. I got turned on to such great music as a teen in the 90s. Indie babes galore. Still cant believe Hanson was run over. Seeing them in 99 was fucking rad. They opened for Sonic Youth
Truly one of the great albums....
Amazing album. Surprised to see it here.
SUCH. AN. ACHIEVEMENT. This album -- I could only dream of writing something so dense and masterful.
This album and Tortoise's 'Millions Now Living Will Never Die' are masterpieces of the 90s
One of the greatest bands ever.
I experienced Refractions In The Plastic Pulse live last year. It was great
One of the best albums ever made.
I Feel Elegant & Hip When I Listen To Stereo Lab 🥂
next do "Brand New's Career Over in Five Minutes."
This was great!!
Sufjan Stevens Illinois please!
Doug Otto I'd rather have a doc about the album.
Bought a bootleg cassette of this album on Khao San Rd in Bangkok in January 1998 -sound unheard- because I was drawn to the mesmerizing green cover. The music continues to blow my mind. Best $2 I ever spent.
I learned to walk with Classic Rock...Grunge was High School...Stereolab was my university.
Well put
My favorite album
I drove across Europe on dots & loops, so always a special album for me :)
Been a stereolab fan since 1993 but just now learning of Perrey and Kingsley, which I immediately checked out. Wow. One note samba was a cover! This video was worth it just for that. Dots and loops is not my favorite stereolab and I disagree that it's their pinnacle, but a few tracks are definitely among their best.
I really like that album
Dreamy is how I always describe their music.
bring this series back
You have to do Daniel Johnston
Pure excellence.
Yep. That about sums it up just right IMHO.
Liner notes is a great series
FUCKING LOVE STEREOLAB!!!! Thank you guys for this.
been fuck with this band
hey, i assume ya'll don't take suggestions but i would love to know more about the unicorn's "who will cut our hair when we're gone."
Great video. Still won't forgive you for the bad review of Sound Dust though.
I was about to comment the exact same thing.
Sound Dust is great but was not as influential.
I don't think the video is made for Stereolab fans
I don't forgive the bad note that they made for Cobra and Phases Group. Pitchfork can be so narrow minded!
I always thought of Dots and Loops and The High Llamas' Cold and Bouncy as sibling albums as they have a similar instrumentation and production style.
Do Corey Feldman´s Angelic 2 the Core: Funkadelic/Rockadelic
When I listen to Brakhage, all I see are snooty French people in black turtlenecks in a room on a spaceship full of lime green lava lamps.
What is the song at 1:31?
edit: "E.V.A." by Jean-Jacques Perrey
we're not gonna forget about that 3/10 pitchfork.
cool
Please do Remian in Light (or really any Talking Heads album) next! Also Odelay by Beck, and Bowie's Low would be very cool
Fer Rioseco wena po melomano
stands heads and shoulders over the rest of their stuff
i remember seeing this one tv show (seem like the 90s or early 00s) on youtube few years ago where they come into tim & sadier's house (when they were still together) and ask them about their record collection (inspection/interrogation style)
anyone know whats the name of the show? i tried to find that video again but no result.
thanks in advance!
clazzic
Tigermilk plz
I saw them open for sonic youth. Raspberry!!!
M A S T E R P I E C E . . . 👍👍😎😎
Siamese Dream Siamese Dream Siamese Dream Siamese Dream
do a Pavement album!! Slanted and Enchanted perhaps...?
I prefer Crooked Rain Crooked Rain
Yeah s&e would be fantastic to see!
Wowee Zowee is their best, dude!
that's a close second for me, but honestly I love em all
HomicidalBabies i like slanted and enchanted too. second best for me. love their jams like the hexx and stereo.
3:54 is that princess leia
Dots and Loops refers to String Theory. Its very evident in Parsec.
it refers to the short films made by Norman McLaren
@@threedeemelodies ..and Stan Brakhage.
💕❤️💕
90s gods
I think the take away from this is that this is a band who won't be touring with Kid Rock anytime soon.
