Amazon.com essential recording
On Stereolab's first proper American full-length, the group skillfully dissects past musical genres and recombines them in their own Dr. Moreau-like sonic laboratory-garage. The recording is among Stereolab's least labored, most groove-oriented efforts. There are experiments like the French-pop-flavored "Pack Yr Romantic Mind," but it's mostly a lovely, loud, decadent '90s rock record. The song titles reference obscure equipment, the sounds are made with arcane instruments, the repetitive guitar work is directly lifted from Michael Rother, and the cover image pledges devotion to vinyl (the musical obscurantist's medium of choice), but somehow the band never comes off as snobbish. Stereolab's music would not only spawn dozens of imitators, but the very stuff they drew inspiration from (Esquivel, Can, Moondog, Os Mutantes) was suddenly the starting point for any self-respecting hipster's record collection. More important, it totally rocks ("Our Trinitone Blast") while beaming sunny vibes ("Jenny Ondioline"). --Mike McGonigalCustomer Reviews:
What a great songlist!.......2007-03-09
I think this is the one which defines best their style. Absolutely classic.
The BEST Stereolab Album .......2005-08-18
"Tone Burst" is a perfect example of a kind of cheeky 60's french pop thing with its droney vintage analog bleeps and Laetitia Sadier's sexy vocals gliding over the background in a manner that even touches upon "The Gift" by the VU. " Pack Yr Romantic mind" has that bossa thing going on for the first time in Stereolab's sound. "Im going out of my way" is an upbeat 60's rave up that ends with this cool experimental analog noise. "Jenny ondioline" is like a homage to NEU! clocking around 17 minutes of Sonic Youth-y, shoegazer-ish drone rock. If you can find it, there is a limited edition single for Jenny Ondioline that has a 3:51 edit of Jenny O and 3 rockin B-sides, most notably "French Disko", which later appeared in another version on Switched on Vol 2 on Drag City Records.
Any way you look at it this period of Sterolab was my favorite, and this cd is a great introduction to Sterolab's genius. It may even be the best, most consistent snapshot we'll ever see from Stereolab.
All Stereolab is great, TRNWSB is on my FAVs.......2005-04-21
Astronomical.......2005-04-19
Following Peng's humble melodies, this is the only Stereolab album that actually sounds like the nineties. As with Peng, the music is heavily distorted (grainier, but mixed more professionally), but on this album, even the vocals get distorted and we even get to hear the two of them raise their voices from time to time, if only seldom. Much of this album focuses on white noise that builds up as songs continue on, rather than have a crescendo (some songs have great crescendos too, though). Jenny Ondioline (part of which comes from the "Exploding Head Movie" b-side) is an 18 minute track comprised of likely no more than five chords--it is the buildup of white noise that keeps this song interesting, and it really is a great song.
If you're a Stereolab fan who hasn't yet heard this album, but has heard everything else, you are bound to be shocked. It's loud, it's noisy, it's so...nineties. Songs like "Golden Ball" and "Our Trinitone Blast" will dispel your idea of Stereolab being constantly boppy and overtly happy. There are some really dark tracks on this album! The last track, "Lock-Groove Lullaby" is probably the darkest on the album.
I love Stereolab and I love this album. It's not as good as Mars Audiac Quintet, but what is? Every single song on this is great music to just space out to and contemplate the day. It's weird, it's amusing, it's frightening, and it's the ballsiest move by this groop in the first half of their career. Give it a spin. This one's worth checking out, Stereolab fan or not.

Customer Reviews:
acoustically brainy, courageously distorted.......2004-11-16
The sound can be best described as somewhat hollow, autumnal, and dented. Dondero's slight whinny implies a damaged spirit, as if he were a wrongly imprisoned con who happens to be extremely bright and good at guitar, or a sailor who would have much rather stayed on land, growing fruits ("Less than the air").
People who will like this CD are those who desperately want to take a break from the hustle-bustle of city life, and will take a different train down to find that coffee shop with the open mic night where they only sing songs about the nuances of earth, transportation, the cycle of life, and loneliness.
For now I'm giving this 3 stars because I need to soak this material in. This is not immediate music - this is like reading Henry David Thoreau.
See this clear.......2004-03-10
It opens on a bizarre note on "Living and the Dead," before lapsing into "Ashes on the Highway" -- catchy but rather macabre ("When I die/burn my body/spread my/ashes on the highway..."). The remainder of "Transient" is a mix of bouncy folk (the rock-y "Dance of Spring" and pleasant "See it Clear") and haunting slow ballads (the haunting, downbeat "20 Years" and the delightfully nuanced and musical "Stars in My Chandelier").
David Dondero and "Transient" are things that grow slowly on you, like moss on a rock. First time around, the slightly "off" vocals and stripped-down acoustic sound is unimpressive. Second time around, they start to get catchier and more melodious. The third time around, they're more interesting and nuanced.
Dondero's voice is a bit reminiscent of a folkier Wayne Coyne or Jeff Mangum. In a nutshell, his voice is flawed in a likable way; only occasionally does he wobble badly, as if he does "Less than the Air." He's better suited to ballads, where he sounds quite sad and vulnerable, but not whiny. The acoustic guitar is the major instrument here, but it's backed by some solid bass and drums (accompanied by some members of the band Bright Eyes).
The writing is pretty solid, sometimes a little puzzling ("Saw the trees becoming lovers in the shadows...") but nice to listen to. At times they seem to be laments, reportedly based on what Dondero overhears in passing conversations. Others ("The Stars in my Chandelier") are straightforward and uncomplicated, and it's here that Dondero's songwriting is particularly strong.
A nice collection of folk tinged with pop and rock. "Transient" is a sweet and downbeat look at love, death and life as a travelling musician living from day to day. It may take a little while to grow on you, but it certainly isn't forgettable.

The best ambient trance CD I've heard- by a distance.......2003-07-10
To me there are 2 Astralasia's.. one a straight ahead Trance band sounding no different than any other remix band/dj with thudding rhythms. Then there is a band who mix trance, ambient, psychadelic and ethnic sounding influences producing a varied emotive trip. This CD is far and away the best of the latter style and indeed the best cd in this genre Ive heard.
Shame you cant hear the last 2 tracks in the samples.. because the last 2 tracks on the album are mesmeric soundscapes which brought me to tears of joy the first time I heard them. Track 1 gives you an idea. Incidentally Im not alone in saying that!
I just can't recommend this CD too highly.. buy it and enjoy.

Call it Goa, Call it Psytrance...Call it SUPERB!.......2007-07-23
I find a lot of trance electronica rather dull. Yes, repetition is part of the experience, but you have to be creative to put things on top of the repetitive lines that intrigue the brain or move the spirit.
This is the best psytrance album I've heard. It has interesting things going on, and DANCING GALAXY is outstanding, truly, one of my top fave electronica tunes. I dare you to sit still, I dare you not to feel carried away with the energy and complexities. Fabulous. The title song is tops. But others have this sort of infectious groove that may need to build for while, but when it hooks, it hooks hard.
The track called Ambient Galaxy (one of those DUNE related songs by A.G.) reminds of what it felt like to be a kid dreaming of going out there in space (like we baby boomers all figured would become kinda normal in the 21st century, hah.) Terrific build-up, with Virginia Madsen-as-Irulan providing voice (film lines). Lovely bits of "hitch" in the beat.
Flying Into a Star has a video-game sort of ferocity/speed, and you can actually visualize yourself rushing like crazy right at and into some wild star. No one is sitting still through this.
Some cool "percussion-like" effects. I could almost sense timbales in Life on Mars, a tune that brought to mind HACKERS, the flick. It would have fit right in with that soundtrack.
I'm also a big fan of DUNE (first read it as a teenager, and have read it a dozen times since), so the tunes that make reference to the story (using lines from the Lynch film version) are a special delight.
This is great for dancing, great for driving, great for just energizing and letting your mind go out into the wide open OUT THERE spaces.
It's a pity it's not in stock and the used are so pricey. This may be ten years old, but it still makes the grade in my book.
If you can get your hands on it, get set to start trancing away....
