Stereolab - Aluminum Tunes

The third edition in Stereolab's Switched On series, a collection of the best of their rarities.

"Aluminum Tunes is distinguished by the first wide release of the entire sublime easy listening EP Music for the Amorphous Body Center, which would be enough to make the compilation essential for all fans, but it also has such minor masterpieces as their swinging duet with Herbie Mann on Antonio Carlos Jobim's 'One Note Samba,' Wagon Christ's remix of 'Metronomic Underground,' the horn-spiked 'Percolations' and 'You Used to Call Me Sadness.' There may be a couple of tracks that never rise above the level of good but predictable Stereolab, but the best moments rank among their very best work. Quite simply an essential addition to their catalog." – All Music Guide
