↳ Details

The 1996 breakthrough of Emperor Tomato Ketchup saw Stereolab gain both commercial and critical success, introducing the world to a sound that balanced pop sensibilities with avant-garde instrumentation & execution. The album presents a Stereolab that balances maximalism with restraint & begins to explore the themes that functioned as the blueprint for the next decade of Stereolab.

This 2019 edition features the original 1/2" tapes remastered by Bo Kondren at Calyx Mastering, overseen by Tim Gane, and features bonus material including alternate takes, 4 track demos and unreleased mixes.
