Stereo Total are a Berlin-based band that sings in French, German and sometimes English, and they spin a happy mix of new wave, '70's disco, trash noise and Casio/Moog keyboard sing-alongs. The 2-girl/2-guy line-up means every listening gender is satisfied in the end, and on top of it all, they have even covered Serge Gainsbourg. And they're obsessed with winning the Eurovision song contest. Fans of The Shaggs, early B-52's, Pizzicato Five, Bis, Stereolab and Buffalo Daughters will probably drool as much as I do. If you're Goth, please go die somewhere. Thank you.

This is one of the sexiest pop albums EVER, one of the most beautiful pop albums EVER, one of the most messed up, in a good way, pop albums EVER and is one of the greatest pop albums EVER. It is full of sexy- bubblegum- euro- electro- rock'n'pop classics.
"Holiday Inn" should be used as an ad jingle by the chain, since hearing this song I've been longing desparately to stay at one of their hotels...Stereo Total make it sound like such fun. "Touche Moi" is a beautiful sweet slice of sensual pop built round a Tommy Roe beat that can't fail to get you "in the mood"."Supercool" is  a supercool punky disco track that sounds so amazing no matter if you are playing it in a club or in your home. Top track follows top track...  And if the world was a just and fair place they would have had as many HITS from Jukebox Alarm as Michael Jackson had from Thriller. A brilliant twisted pop album.    

Actually, Stereo Total is comprised of two women and one man. They are fabulous live, although their recordings are super, too. Great driving music! Great party music! Great good time music!

I have to agree with splats review of Stereo Total...some of the most fun tunes I've heard from start to finish!!! Hey splat if you've got more like this let me know...

I loved the experimental, silly, self-titled first record. This one has the band sticking to one sound, which gets tiresome because of their lack of talent. They are taking themselves too seriously here, I hope they go back to the child-like kitchiness of their early, wonderfull work.
