This song is an SSRI: a selective SONIC reuptake inhibitor...it keeps the frequencies flowing between the neural epicenters for longer....This never gets old.
@nevereveranything You are absolutely right! Fur Immer is what came to mind when I first listened to Super Electric. Stereolab is one of the greatest bands around and perhaps the only band that pays hommage to krautrock and vintage lounge so well. A truly great band.
In my opinion, a lot greater the more hommage they paid to krautrock. Over time, as the focus shifted to vintage lounge, they lost me. But this early stuff was basically the soundtrack to my 90s.
I definitely experienced a lot of selective Sonic reuptake inhibitating during their Mars Audiac quintet tour in a small club in Copenhagen...One of the best gigs in my life!
I agree to all of the above, i'v been jam'n these dude's for like 13years and a friend has just bought me from the u.s.a the greatest hits album with dvd and holy fuck i will play this to the day i die.....
Bit of a late reply..... It sounds like one of Sean O'Hagans tunes off the High Llamas' Hawaii album. He might have written it whilst he was still in Stereolab though.
@tnrc75 yeah, but when you use literally at the place figuratively should be correctly used, you are adding another quality to the meaning, i.e. expressivity. Try it. Using figuratively, the sentence is sterile, devoid of emotion. Using literally, you cannot avoid the feeling of accent, you can literally see the face and the whole body of the speaker spitting the word at you. Remember that language rules are abstractions from the language that is being used, and in the same fashion as
@zemechanism No, it didn't LITERALLY blow your head off. Perhaps it figuratively did....but not literally :) If you're not a native English speaker, that sort of mistake it tolerable. If you are....c'mon.....
I came home from the pub and saw this on MTV in the early 90's and I've been in love ever since...
this is my top video. stereolab forever! so happy i saw them all live!
my favourite song of all time.

This is the music our space travelling decendants will be listening to as they explore some other star system on the other side of the galaxy.
Amazing song, but the version of this song on Peel Session 1991, is even more cool, we can find the video here on TH-cam. 🙂
Yup. That exemplified everything I find good and glorious in music videos. Stellar!
Brilliance
Pure and simple

you know..i wish i knew about this band along time ago.
superb music.
I literally enjoyed listening to this song
"Switched on Stereolab" A collection of their first few EPs. Hard to find but worth the effort.
Awesome video for this song.
Come on! Beautiful! xxxxxx
Ah, vintage Stereolab! Hard to believe this song, their first release, is 20 years old.
Now 25!
Now an even greater number!
Lovely
...and that s why we all loved viva2!!!
Anyone know how they made the buzzing sound in this? It does sound like an electric panel or something. So cool. =)
it worked, i'm hypnotised
music for lovin' :) make it last the whole night long
vivazwei .. I miss You so much
I cant toss about 10% of all of Stereolab's stuff in the rubbish pile. The remaining 90% I can listen to for an eternity.
Not a bad percentage!
I can listen to all 100% of their stuff forever! I can't say that about any other band really...
Stereolab !
They have always had a mix of French lounge music and the trance, glitch stuff.
@plonkywonky I found it last week. It's been there for quite some time.

@likkylip The entire compilation (Switched On Vol. 1) is a foot tapper.
holy fuck Tims jawwing , he's high
chain smoking in every interview...amazing.
The Velvet Underground of the '90s. What a band.
probably the best pre-transient stereolab song
@vaf88 If someone says a synth says it sounds like a fart one more time i'll go insane lol
@chillidogdupree really???

Chillidog said NEURAL or NEUTRAL???
Motorik.

@blb creative writing textbooks, they fail to grasp the essence of the delicate nuances in their pursuit of generalisation.
@abmanci1 It's called art
or hawkwind.............
I was made to exorcise his pain. (!!!!!!!!)
its like someone told them the footage would ever be used. so they were just lazy/bored
That's just another reason to love them. Arty people smoke.
