Sounds like a memory of something you're not sure if it ever existed but you definitely wish it did. FANTASTIC.

Canzone del mattinoPer la serie: accadeva nel 1994 o giusto prima, ovvero gli anni di Catartica. (sottospecie: le cose che più ascoltavamo e/o amavamo).Stereolab: il loro ottavo disco. Una band particolarmente originale all'epoca, influente e assai stimolante, fra art-rock e influenze svariate da altri mondi bizzarri. Stereolab - "Transona Five"#catartica

I think they say "they are one OF the same"...This is Stereolab's greatest song... Perfect...

Even further back, going to the 60's, with a French accent.

Lol. I can't talk now - I have to eat my baguette, hop on my scooter and whizz round to my friend's ultra-chic new exhibition, which features the remains of space debris impregnated into charcoal and the faces of Politicians Francaise.

no, it's still completely fresh, and yes, relevant lyrically. Now pack up your bags and eat some sunshine, little dimi "petit-tou-frou-poux"

Epic final!

@1emmain It's funny you should say that - while I totally agree with you about the sond and the groove, it's interesting that the lyrics of songs like "Ping Pong" and "Margerine Rock" speak very much to the here-and-now.

Something just slightly past about this band now - a lovely nostalgic feeling of the late 80 and early 90s - when chic, optimistic, partying, young upper-middles made this kind of groove and lived fascinating cheerful existences. In the depressed 21st, it is no longer just retro-chic but retro retro-chic. Like looking back on the hedonism of the early 20s.

@Gisellegiselle1986 Me too.

@wmprokipchak That's exactly what I like about Stereolab - repetition and simplicity, yet warm and catchy enough, and with enough shifts and changes in the elements, to keep it from turning into Brian Eno-style background crap. The lyrics always blow my mind, too, even as simple as they are. When putting together this video, I tried to make the visual elements reflect that. I think I did an all right job.

wellcrafted! 100% repetitive elements (the low bass pulse/chord stays exactly the same in a loop)+the strummy guitar (changa-changa-changa-changa..etc) is close to 100% but there may be a change somewhere , but the other elements come in & out, they use dynamics= the organs&the singer's entrances&exits,her urgency to the final verse,the sweet woo-woo-woos modulate, the volume &density builds up, the drummer varies a bit (wait for that tiny triple drumhit@exactly 5:25 to signal the end ;^)

@nonex23 No problem. Even though their lyrics are simple and repetitive, they pack a lot of thought-provocation.

Thanks for this, this song means a lot to me right now.
