I think their keyboard and bass players provide some vocals now, but it's not the same

The OG Mary (Gina Morris, was in the groop 1990-1992) is still around, but now lives in Australia (ironically where Mary was from):

I don't think this has been mentioned anywhere else? From Minneapolis' Surly Brewing:

well, that was extremely stressful but between Duophonic and Bleep, I was able to get all 3 limited editions. can't believe how quickly Dots and Loops sold out.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 9 July 2019 14:48 (four years ago) link
Managed to be on my email this AM, so I got all 3 via Duophonic. Pretty psyched.
Also v v v psyched that Bitchin Bajas is opening much of the US tour. Two favorite bands in one place!

Clear vinyl editions of ETK, Dots, and Cobra up here: https://flashlightvinyl.com/
Snagged a copy of Cobra, only 500 copies afaik

IDGI are these pre-orders? nobody will actually have them in stock until Sept. 6th, right?
― sleeve, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 17:23 (four years ago) link
right
my understanding from the bleep pre-orders was the obi-strip versions (ultra-deluxe?) sold out, and they only had black vinyl left for pre-order
whatever this shit is confusing
hope i didn't get ripped off
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 17:24 (four years ago) link
well $30 is a great price for a 3xLP regardless
― sleeve, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 17:28 (four years ago) link
My understanding was 500 copies for the obi strip versions, 2000 for the clear vinyl with scratch card. The 500 copies mentioned by Flashlight might be set aside for US distribution, or maybe it's just an error. Regardless, it's cheaper than getting them from the UK for us Yanks!

Did anyone here order and receive these Stereolab LPs from Flashlight Vinyl? Their website is down. I emailed them yesterday and am awaiting a response.
― eatandoph (Neue Jesse Schule), Wednesday, 2 October 2019 14:20 (four years ago) link
same thing happened to me. emailed them weeks ago and no response. looks like a record store that went out of business
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 16 October 2019 23:49 (four years ago) link
seems like they were bought by Hellcat Vinyl based on a quick google, if it’s the store in Minneapolis.

Watching this concert from 1994, when they were at the peak of their rock phase, and thinking about how cool Mary Hansen was and how much I miss her. Remarkably good video quality for such an early show.

Gah! It sucks that I'm getting so paranoid that when a band I love gets bumped up on ILX I fear that it's because a member has fallen ill.
― Cow_Art, Wednesday, 1 April 2020 03:15 (four years ago) link
Just a heads-up, I know we love our physical media but in the current Bleep sale, the Stereolab expanded editions are included in their very cheap digital deal. If you buy 10 albums (mp3, lossless, 24 bit even for some) you get them for £30 / €35 / $US35, I picked up all 7 EEs and some Broadcast / LoneLady (OK I did two ten-fer deals and got a bunch of other stuff too).But for me, who bought all the OG releases and was unsure if the extras on the new versions were worth it, it's the right price to satisfy my curiosity without piracy.
― assert (MatthewK), Friday, 26 June 2020 05:26 (three years ago) link
imo the sound alone on the new ones is worth it, but yeah I get the rebuying reluctance
in other news, the bonus 7" of demos is fantastic, lots of Mary vocals
― sleeve, Friday, 26 June 2020 13:59 (three years ago) link
i read that david pajo was briefly in stereolab, got me very curious. anyone know further details or know of video? guessing he wasn't on any studio material
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 26 June 2020 14:02 (three years ago) link
apparently it was for a few months in 1996 between eTK and fluorescences, from after duncan brown left until richard harrison joined
― ufo, Friday, 26 June 2020 14:14 (three years ago) link
I recently saw a classic group pic of the 'Lab circa Pajo's tenure (1995):

Must have been very brief because Richard Harrison was with them on the ETK tour.

― Jeff W, Friday, 26 June 2020 17:07 (three years ago) link
That must've been an epic tour, they didn't make it to Boston until 8 months later. Can't find any info about exactly how long Pajo played with them.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Friday, 26 June 2020 18:13 (three years ago) link
usenet groups probably had all the info on this (times like this is where i miss the old internet).

I didn't even know he played with them at all until just recently

I would venture to say after looking at Koly and David's credits on discogs that Duncan Brown left Stereolab after ETK recording sessions and that David replaced him for the European tour that took place in the second half of 1995. There are 2 live performances on youtube from this tour as well as a radio session that show Dave in the band during this stretch.
But he was super busy in the first half of 1995, he performed on both The For Carnation & King Kong records as well as launched his solo career (as "M"). His 2nd release in early 1996 was a split with Monade (Laetitia's solo project) and he also played on her side of the split.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 26 June 2020 20:02 (three years ago) link
Pretty sure Duncan was kicked out because he couldn't play the more fiddly ETK stuff.

I sometimes think 'Three Dee Melodie' is my favorite opening song to any album. It's got Mary singing, Laetitia singing, Tim's incredible guitar sound, a fantastic organ drone. It sets up the world of MAQ so perfectly.

And yet Tone Burst, Metronomic Underground, and Brakhage are also amazing opening songs in their own ways.
