As 20th century popular music entered its terminal stage – the age of recycling – Stereolab was the perfect project. Transient Random-Noise Outbursts With Announcements is a double-album which brilliantly uses names, images, words and music from the past in a glossy new synthetic pop-rock; even the song lyrics are recycled Marxist manifestos. After this Stereolab veered away from rock, leaving Transient Random-Noise Outbursts With Announcements as their definitive evocation of the pop-cultural and pop-musical history that matters.
