4.0 out of 5 stars The best songs on the album aren't ON the album, July 15, 2004

Stereolab fans have become accustomed to finding some of the best tracks on the harder-to-find EPs released as "singles" with each LP. This vivid set exemplifies that trend. The second track here, "Escape Pod (From the World of Medical Observation)" is essential listening from this period. "The Free Design," the song which also appears on "Cobra and Phases Group..." is one of the stronger tracks there (it's the one used on TV by Verizon, ca. 2000), and the rest of this disc follows suit. "Cobra..." is one of my favorite 'Lab records, but "Escape Pod" blows it away. It's too bad they couldn't also include the Japan-only track "Galaxidion" here--it would fit right in.

4.0 out of 5 stars A recommended addition to Stereolab collections, April 24, 2000

This Stereolab import single of 1999 contains "The Free Design" off of the album Cobra And Phases Group Play Voltage In The Milky Night. It also gives us a glimpse of some worthwhile non-LP additions to the Stereolab catalog. They are "Escape Pod [From the World of Medical Observations], "With Friends Like These," and "Les Aimies Des Memes."
