    WOW! I just picked this up after hearing a song off a sampler with them on it. This is like a pop version of Godflesh except it's got female vox layered with heavy moog and organs. I was surprised I liked this. It's very relaxing music and good to sit and think to. The only thing I don't like is that some of the lyrics are in French. Go ahead and give Stereolab a try. I think you might like it!
