STEREOLAB - THE FREE DESIGN

[@RubyRosettaPittman]

To every immigrant on a bus, watching a screen, hoping it unlocks the stars and takes the puppet strings off. ❤.

[@skawashers]

Only just Discovered the 60s band The Free Design And i can see why they was a massive Influence on Stereolab

[@TremniObcutek]

Alternative Nation in 1999, what a great period for music. Stereolab, Bobby Conn, Sunscreen, Mansun, Placebo, Mercury Rev, Sigur Ros, Flaming Lips, Pavement, The Beta Band ... never missed a single show.

[@Wowjustwow37]

I was in college with no cable by then, but a cute boy played me this album in 99. Amazing times.

[@ozelljohnson8932]

Cobra is still my favorite lp.... the interplay that goes on between The Shah and Mary's voice is phenom

[@earlofeastjurong]

The Groop's most challenging but most rewarding listen. I especially love the Beach Boys influenced parts

[@Tomasz-x1x]

It's natural,it's organic, it's genuine in its simplicity.

[@catwalkblackout]

I love this song because it introduced me to Stereolab. Late one night broadcast on "Alternative Nation" on MTV. The video is excellent. Thanks... Remember Stereolab have just issued a DVD!

[@pedroldcv]

Este é uma das melhores músicas do Stereolab. E esse vídeo é genial. Tudo é genial em Stereolab.

[@bobbygnosis]

The first time I heard this my mind got bigger.

[@salpuma9145]

this song was my first exposure to the Lab in 2000...I couldn't love a band more. Mary's backups on INFINITY GIRL is what locked me in. Dots is my fav album...Soundust is brilliant as well

[@pryingeyes1551]

Same. This is my second fav after Dots and Loops. My first exposure to the group was in the 90s, when I needed to select one more album from columbia house, and I picked Emperor Tomato Ketchup on it's name alone. It was a wonderful random choice. They, along with Pizzicato 5, were (and are) my "happy bands" amidst all the gothic and industrial music I listen to.

[@salpuma9145]

HAHAHAHAHA.....Columbia House!!!! Stellar....Funny...i always saw that album in the alt section at HMV....late nineties....three years later i saw cobra phases as a new release and decided to give it a try based on the cover of ETK. Actually....what hooked me was Mary's back ups on Infinity GIrl.

[@pryingeyes1551]

Mary definitely completed their sound. I remember being shocked when I saw her death reported on MTV News with Kurt Loder. I'm not sure if the shock was due to the fact that MTV was mentioning them, or that I was watching MTV.

[@salpuma9145]

prying eyes same with me....Muchmusic anounced it on The Wedge...alt video show...right after i bought Soundust...another masterpiece. Watch Leaticia's Red Bull music lecture...she's such a great person...I learned so much about the band...her and Tim. You'll be surprised at some of the details...it's worth the watch. Enjoy

[@pryingeyes1551]

Sal Puma I've got it qued to play, I'll check it out when I have a bit of time.

[@oscaralvarez2571]

Dancing Queen :)

[@EzeICE]

And at that moment in the video there's an actual dancing woman. Coincidence much?

[@rrr1063]

Dots and Loops was my first and still favourite then Cobra Phases.

[@markf226]

Every now and again Stereolab drops large..

[@Andre2010]

Yeah, "alternative nation" was a great guide to discover great and not very known bands and music. Sadly, I think it´s not broadcasted anymore.

[@claudioalvarez6600]

Eu sempre fui fascinado com o título desse CD desde que foi lançado: "Cobra and Phases" 🤯

[@cirroselvi]

Música genial, nostalgia da minha adolescência

[@RubyRosettaPittman]

Like I need to use this for an Instagram compilation ASAP… and How Long Is ASAP ¿

[@carlbloise8595]

What's really strange is that this has so few likes🤔

[@TomokoYoichi]

[@irini_triantafyllidi]
