STEREOLAB - Disco Grande Session (1995, Radio 3, Spain)

On December 21st 1995 Stereolab played a radio session at the Spanish radio show Disco Grande, directed by Julio Ruiz (at Radio 3, Spanish public radio). They played 6 songs and were interviewed. I have edited it and included here only the songs, which are:
John Cage Bubblegum 00:00
Metronomic Underground 3:20
How to Play Your Internal Organs Overnight 12:42
Percolator 16:17
The Extension Trip 20:35
Lo Boob Oscillator 23:40
At the time, Stereolab were Tim Gane, Laetitia Sadier, Mary Hansen, Morgane Lhote, Andy Ramsay and David Pajo (!).
I think this is one of their best live recordings of a great set list. I had the fortune of listening to it the first time it was aired, back in 1995, and became a big fan ever since. I recorded it on cassette back then, but recently I found the podcast on the radio station website and I edited it with better quality.

Saw them in Cork in 1992 for £4 IR, the currency doesn't exist anymore but that night changed my life

[@donniebobb74]

These grooves saved my life. I can't speak to anything else.

[@w00zyhead]

[@alfredoperez4629]

Yo estuve allí, con dos personas más. Sensacional.

[@byrdxills1234]

RIP Mary Hansen

[@doubtfulecstasy4220]

I had the pleasure of seeing them in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They were touring in support of Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night. They killed it.

[@daveparry6642]

This is just fucking fantastic. Thank you so much.

[@inigovaldivielso1859]

So awesome.....ecstasy....those dull afternoons preparing my Econometry exams

[@thegloriousmoodman2152]

Love hearing the synthesizers way up front on that last track.

[@thegloriousmoodman2152]

It keeps getting deeper and deeper...

[@Acidmarx]

Gran documento. Una pena que no se publiquen los archivos inmensos de Radio 3, como se hacía en la BBC con las sesiones de John Peel.

[@cafferacer]

Dope.

[@kitaj73]

Getting major Julian Cope vibes from the very beginning of the first track - precisely the "Necropolis" and "The Subtle Energies Commission" instrumentals on the Jehovahkill album.

[@jorgebeleza3540]

Thank you for posting this.

[@jeffmhunt]

thanks for putting this together

[@christophersmith9613]

Thanks! This is superb. : )

[@dgetzin]

Wow, a super-early rendition of Metronomic Underground, well-before the release of Emperor Tomato Ketchup. The song sounds a bit stiff compared to the other live sets of it, then you realize that they had hardly ever played it and probably not studio-recorded it before this.

[@VintageSynthesizerMuseum]

Thanks for posting this. Total time warp.

[@TzadikTheManic]

Fantastic thank you 👏👏👏👏👏

[@missionmarc322]

Thanks for uploading, Jordi 👍🏻

[@patmcdonagh8939]

Brilliant end to the set! Thanks so much

[@byke-j7l]

EXCELLENT! thank you Jordi

[@geminifilms5341]

Superb. One of my favourite bands on fine form. Good post, mate

[@clivepalmer1167]

I heard Mars Audiac Quintet playing in a record store in the mid 90's and bought it on the spot. Since then I have slowly explored more of this wonderful group. If you like minimal music, then look out for Young Marble Giants who (sadly) only released a single album. Then I discovered Porcupine Tree... but Stereolab's Three-Dee Melody gets me grooving every time :)

[@ChrMmn]

Porcupine Tree is the best thing to happen to rock music in a long time. The Sky Moves Sideways, Signify, Up The Down Stair, In Absentia, Fear Of A Blank Planet and even the new one. Plus their tour last year kicked ass! Finally got to see them.

[@dee_seejay]

Porcupine tree eh, that's quite an interesting rock family tree (pardon the pun) what with Japan's Richard Barbieri involved among others. I really like Steven Wilson's production work, esp his remastering of XTC...also his varied collaborations. Ever heard (Japan bassist) Mick Karn's album *'Bestial Cluster'* and *'The Tooth Mother'* (1998) with Wilson and Barbieri involved, also Steve Jansen. Good album that one. Wow this really is a great session from Stereolab. Love it.

[@laurentfin870]

I saw them in Central Park 1995/96? good memories ..!!!

[@andrasv7905]

We miss you Mary

[@kenkovar2647]

iconic tune, people listen

[@rm1387]

Dave Pajo played with Stereolab? Not sure how I did not know this. Huge Stereolab fan from back then and love Pajo's work with Papa and Aerial M from shortly after this timeframe.

[@murph6163]

Papa M opened for Stereolab when I saw them at the Bluebird Theater (Denver) in 1999.

[@963robw]

my impeccable taste in music brought me here (sorry, had to steal that gem)

In beginning Lo boob oscitator, remember french music. 🤔💙

[@joseluisneira2526]

LOS weones pa secos

[@YuliaKerme]

This music is amazing! Can anyone give advice on smth similar?

[@jordillobettorres]

Do you know the band Broadcast? kzbin.info/aero/PLCdPanpqsqVgU87q2CJX74pzFecwGW2hX

[@silverdrizzle]

isnt track one "Revox"?

[@jordillobettorres]

No, it's John Cage Bubblegum, but they are similar though!

[@silverdrizzle]

ah thank you. im embarrassed. i must have listened to thousands of hours of this band when i was younger and now i cant even remember names. thanks for putting this up.

[@silverdrizzle]

just came back to add that a really nice live video performance of JCB is still here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHnVkoh4hLyYb6c

[@emersontomasini9495]

Percolator remember, a little, Progressive "rock" (Pop). 🤔

[@dandogzbutt1518]

12:43

[@LOSTASTRONAUTA]

Ojorowei

[@djbrownsville]

only Austin Powers might love this band more than i.

[@Stevelites]

Joe Dilworth or Andy? I'm thinking Ramsey. Joe rolled more. The bass guitarist and drums aren't connected. I advise you listen to the original.

[@jordillobettorres]

Andy Ramsay on drums! I personally love his playing (I'm a drummer too).

[@hugosinteuil287]

une maquette?

[@jordillobettorres]

C'est un concert pour une station de radio en Espagne.

[@emersontomasini9495]

The sound is very unique. I think that Julian Casablancas of The Strokes, and The Voidz, will like a lot of these creative slow songs. 🤔

[@daverees3111]

Bruce Springsteen borm to run

[@koal3231]

Excellent but influenced by Neu! La Duesseldorf etc but it's only my opinion!

[@AtumHN]

Didn't like the singer.
