So I this morning I decided to throw my only CD from Stereolab in my bag to listen to at work this morning. "The Return Of The Microbe Hunters", I bought this album a little more than a year ago and while its not mind blowing I find myself reaching for it every couple of months. This prompted me to look up their discography on allmusic.com to find out what else they have released. Surpisingly I found that they've released a number of albums and the one that I owned is actually an EP that was'nt regarded as their best work. So now I'm really interested in hearing some of their other material.
What would some of you guys recommend as their best album? Or should I just start from the beginning and work my way up?
While researching Stereolab I noticed that they listed Fausto and Neu as their primary influences. After reading a bit about these 2 groups, I learned that Neu was actually comprised of the 2 of the members from Kraftwerk. I've never heard a Kraftwerk album in its entirety but I've always liked the few songs that I've heard by them over the years. So to make a long story short I'm kind of excited about all of these groups that I virtually never knew existed and I'd like to get some feedback on this type of music and what albums I should look for.
