Album Review: Kybernetická Babicka

2005-09-13 from source: pitchfork

Let's go to Stereolab school. You'll need:

• A penchant for vintage organs and recording equipment.
• A love of light pop, psychedelia, and krautrock from the mid-60s through the mid-70s. (Extra credit: a not-so-dormant completist streak.)
• Hard leftist politics are suggested, but not required. However, you will be expected to have a fetish for vocal harmonies and wordless lyrics.
• A strong will in the face of legions of kids saying how much better Stereolab used to be.
• Perhaps more importantly, an easygoing nature: remember, you can't mind repetition or fluorescent colors.
