Incredible B-sides

Johncagebubblegum | Holland | 12/14/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"What I love about this EP is the B-sides. Captain Easychord is feautured here in a ridiculous short version (the whole second part is missing) but the B-sides make up for it. 'Long Life Love' and 'Moodles' are quite similar, long songs which seem to be made up out of several ideas that are just stitched together. 'Moodles' is the better one, 'Long Life Love' has a breathtaking end, melody-wise. The best song here is 'Canned Candies', absolutely one of Stereolab's most moving songs ever released (and I'm a big fan) and indeed a brilliant slice of avant-pop, as someone here mentioned earlier."

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This EP is excellent and only contains one track ('Captain Easychord') on the soon-to-drop Sound Dust. The three tracks exclusive to this disc incl two epics ('Long Live Love' and 'Moodles' both over seven minutes) and a terrific slice of avant-pop ('Canned Candies'). The Amazon reviewer warns that the new album is 'easy-listening lounge that's almost to gentle on the ears' but, if this EP is any indication, it will be dazzling - somber, complex textures with lovely shifts in tone and tempo."
