Stereolab was one of the first bands to be described as post-rock, but fans of the genre today would be at a loss trying to listen to them on that information alone. Instead, the band operates in the same jazzy electronic niche as Tortoise and Broadcast. They're notable for using analogue synths and drum-machines from the early 70's to get their lounge-inspired krautrock noise. Start with Metronomic Underground (obviously, it's the first cut), but all tracks on the album deserve multiple listens.
Get it in flac.
