Well, don’t stress too much because we’ve put together the essential tracks for you to dip your toes into and get nice and wet.

Whether its the lo fi underground pop-rock vibes of ‘Switched On’ and ‘They Played Space Age Bachelor Pad Music’ or the quirky spaced out cinematic themes from ‘Sound-Dust’ and ‘Emperor Tomato Ketchup’ Stereolab have an accessible, free spirited tone to their music that has always had a little something for everyone. Heck these guys deserve your ears on merit of wackiest album names alone: Mars Audiac Quintet? Oscillations From The Anti-Sun?? Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage In The Milky Night??? Amazing stuff.
