Description Stereolab's first full-length recording without guitarist/vocalist Mary Hansen, who died in a tragic accident in December of 2002, Margerine Eclipse finds the band sold iering on in admirable fashion. Essentially picking up where they left off on 2001's Sound-Dust, the group continues to employ their trademark blend of vintage keyboards, airy French/English vocals, and frothy lounge-meets-electronica pop sensibilities. That's not to say that there absolutely no new developments; one can hear the occasional dash of hip-hop rhythm ("La Demeure"), Autechre-like laptop glitch-pop ("Vonal Declosion"), and even a bit of disco (at the end of album-closer "Dear Marge") amid the familiarly odd time signatures, quirky socio-political lyrical observations, and postmodern retro-futurism. - Disc 1 - 1 Vonal Declosion 2 Need to Be 3 Sudden Stars 4 Cosmic Country Noir 5 La Demeure 6 Margerine Rock 7 The Man with 100 Cells 8 Margerine Melodie 9 Hillbilly Motorbike 10 Feel and Triple 11 Bop Scotch 12 Dear Marge - Disc 2 - 1 Mass Riff 2 Good Is Me 3 Microclimate 4 Mass Riff Instrumental 5 Jaunty Monty and the Bubbles of Silence 6 Banana Monster Ne Répond Plus 7 University Microfilms International 8 Rose, My Rocket-Brain!
