Stereolab have always been fascinated with a wide range of textures, which, under their special care, come together in a droney, poppy, spacey sound all their own. In their hands, the monotony of mid-'70s Krautrock, the hi-fi effects of so-called space-age bachelor-pad music (strings, eccentric harmonies, odd studio sounds), and the simplicity of the Velvet Underground's dark pop combine into a mighty monolith that pushes popular music's borders, while making heads sway in teeny-bopperish glee.

EMPEROR TOMATO KETCHUP adds a bit of funk to Stereolab's system, making the monolith swing in directions only hinted at previously. "Metronomic Underground," for instance, builds a series of mysterious grooves over its eight-minute span; it's as structured as the title implies, and as smoky as the French cafes Laetitia Sadier's vocals evoke. But the discovery of the groove is only one of Stereolab's newfound pleasures. The spacing of instruments has taken on a whole new dimension (listen to how the interplay of syncopated guitars, shaker and organ constructs the melody of "Tomorrow Is Already Here"), spreading out the band's formerly vertical sound. And their association with studio savant John McEntire (of Tortoise) has elevated the technological aspects always inherent in their creations. Still, jumpy one-note sambas like the title track remain the group's forte; a telling sign that as much as EMPEROR TOMATO KETCHUP widens Stereolab's horizon, it doesn't lose sight of what makes them unique.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup Music Review


Customer Emperor Tomato Ketchup Reviews 




Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars A moment of happiness !!
At first ,it was just a song on the radio .The song was "Cybele's reverie" .From this time I am a real fan of this particular group .Their music is impossible to classify .Sort of experimental pop with a little of free jazz ,but most of the time ( during this period in their discography )it was rather prog-rock but doing it like anybody else .The songs I enjoy ( no !! I LOVE )the most are "Cybele's reverie" and "Slow fast hazel" but the entire album is a masterpiece ."Dots and loops" and "Cobra and phases group..." are as good as "Emperor tomato ketchup" .
