Yet OSCILLONS is not a "collectors only" item. Stereolab's singles, EPs, and rare tracks are as fully realized and beautifully crafted as anything on their studio albums. This set, then, represents all the band's strengths and is a superb introduction. The full range of the group's sound--with its blend of driving, Velvet Underground-inspired minimalism; sophisticated French pop; trance-like grooves; and burbling, swirling synthesizers--is here. The compilation also confirms Stereolab's standing as one of the most original, pleasurable, and progressive bands of the 1990s and early 2000s. The surprisingly low list price makes this 4 disc (including a DVD) even more irresistible !
