Condition: Brand New Ships from: Melbourne Description Release details Tracklist While making Margerine Eclipse, Stereolab encountered more than their fair share of hardships and heartbreak. Just before the band started the album's sessions, keyboardist/vocalist Mary Hansen died at just 36 when the bicycle she was riding was hit by a truck in December 2002. Despite their loss, Stereolab decided to continue recording at the new studio they were building in the Médoc region of France but had difficulties completing its construction. It's something of a miracle, then, that Margerine Eclipse not only exists but is some of the most joyful music of Stereolab's latter-day career. The fizzy "Margerine Rock" sounds like it could've appeared on a volume of Switched On -- and as a matter of fact, the band reinterpreted unused recordings they made for Carlton Television back in 1992 throughout the album. - AllMusic.com Genre: Punk & Alternative, Electronic Review AllMusic rating: AllMusic users: (392 votes) Read the AllMusic.com review Artist: Stereolab Label: Duophonic Ultra High Frequency Disks, Warp Records Format: LP Units: 2 Country: UK & US Genre: Punk & Alternative Style: Indie Rock, Post Rock, Synth-Pop Margerine EclipseA1 Vonal DeclosionA2 Need To BeA3 "...Sudden Stars"B1 Cosmic Country NoirB2 La DemeureB3 Margerine RockC1 The Man With 100 CellsC2 Margerine MelodieC3 Hillbilly MotobikeD1 Feel And TripleD2 Bop ScotchD3 Dear MargeBonus disk of rare EP tracksE1 Mass RiffE2 Good Is MeE3 MicroclimateE4 Mass Riff InstrumentalF1 Jaunty Monty And The Bubbles Of SilenceF2 Banana Monster Ne Répond PlusF3 University Microfilms InternationalF4 Rose, My Rocket-Brain!
