5.0 out of 5 stars DELECTABLE SOUND PLEASANT!!!, November 26, 2010

It is difficult to find words that define Stereolab, especially when writing any kind of review that will make them honor so special and spectacular musical group.

Appear in my mind three words, DELECTABLE SOUND PLEASANT, in my very personal opinion, Stereolab has an impeccable career, so prolific, brilliant, creative and full of hits accurate facts and good taste with an incomparable genius, a musical style hard to categorize, you can not place labels, and I like a lot.

"Not Music" is a material recorded in 2008, during the study sessions of "Chemical Chords", I'll never understand why this album came out not at that time, I respect their decision, but what really matters is that they published, Stereolab is one of the few bands that always fascinates you, I am deeply amazed and entranced by this album at times sounds like Stereolab early work, in other tracks we find new things.

For me it would be very difficult to pass the time and not having a new Stereolab album to buy, as they looked out the idea of separation of the group, so this album is as fallen from heaven, and also grabbed me by surprise.

Lętitia Sadier & Tim Gane (and the other members of Stereolab) are incredibly imaginative, have a hook that gets you to not let you go anymore, of course we are the icing on a celestial perch called Stereolab, sounds incredible change in the tempo of the music, is like an elastic sound and self-energy, vibrant and bright, keyboards, amazing, delicious vocals, awesome, colorful, retro futurism, with touches of jazz, avant pop and soul, hypnotic pop bricolage from Krautrock, lounge, and psychedelia, fussing with a distinctive sound, and everything made in the lyrics of rock, are like a big burst of multicolored jets caressing my mind and my ears.

Stereolab and deserves recognition for their career so special and creative, and I believe that this great recognition and a great reverence we can make it possible, people like me who love deeply in one of the biggest bands called Stereolab.

Honestly and with my heart full of feeling, I do not want this to be the last album by Stereolab, but if so, I have no more to say... AWESOME, BRAVO, SPECTACULAR FINAL, will always be in my mind and my heart. Hey guys I wish you well in their individual careers as soloists SUCCESSFUL.

4ever STEREOLAB.

This is my favorite band of the 90's and possible favorite band of the 00's. I have their entire discography, and they just might have bowed out with their best yet. It's crazy good, almost like they found their perfect sound (like The Black Keys did with "El Camino") with a blend of the 60's, space lounge, Bacharach, french girl kitsch, and a modern jazzy touch to top it all off. I hope they're not gone forever, but they've left us so much to treasure...
