***"R.E.M."*** was an American rock band from ***[Athens, Georgia](https://cutt.ly/NmRkghQ)***, formed in 1980 by drummer ***[Bill Berry](https://cutt.ly/AmRklXQ)***, guitarist ***[Peter Buck](https://cutt.ly/ymRkcq5)***, bassist ***[Mike Mills](https://cutt.ly/CmRknrO)***, and lead vocalist ***[Michael Stipe](https://cutt.ly/lmRkQn5)***, who were students at the University of Georgia. Combining ringing guitar hooks with mumbled, cryptic lyrics and a D.I.Y. aesthetic borrowed from post-punk, the band simultaneously sounded traditional and modern. While there were a number of hardcore and punk bands in the U.S. during the early '80s, ***"R.E.M."*** brought guitar pop back into the underground lexicon. The band marked the point when post-punk turned into alternative rock, and inspired countless bands, from the legions of jangle pop groups in the mid-'80s to scores of alternative pop groups in the '90s, who admired their slow climb to stardom. Aided by string arrangements from ***[John Paul Jones](https://cutt.ly/AmOXPYS)***, the band’s eighth album***”Automatic for the People”*** features ruminations on mortality, loss, mourning and nostalgia. At its core, it’s a collection of folk songs about aging, death, and loss, but the music has a grand, epic sweep provided by layers of lush strings, interweaving acoustic instruments, and shimmering keyboards. The album captures the group at a crossroads, as they moved from cult heroes to elder statesmen, and the album is a graceful transition into their new status. ***”R.E.M.”*** have never been as emotionally direct as they are on this album, nor have they ever created music quite as rich and timeless, and while the record is not an easy listen, it is the most rewarding record in their oeuvre. ***”New Orleans Instrumental No. 1”*** is the fifth song on the band’s eighth studio album ***"[Automatic for the People](https://cutt.ly/rmPPfhq)"***, released on October 5, 1992, by ***”Warner Bros. Records”***. *** ***"R.E.M."*** info: **[Wikipedia](https://cutt.ly/UmEN4em)** **/** **[Official](https://remhq.com/)** **/** **[Allmusic](https://cutt.ly/VmEMxKC)** **/** **[Discogs](https://cutt.ly/dmEMlJa)** **/** **[Spotify](https://cutt.ly/UmEMgFG)** **/** **[Last.fm](https://cutt.ly/imEMPrb)** **/** **[Facebook](https://cutt.ly/TmEMqjC)** **/** **[YouTube](https://cutt.ly/tmEMfuH)** **/** **[Twitter](https://cutt.ly/hmEMrAR)** **/** **[Instagram](https://cutt.ly/AmEMuMS)** **/** **[Lyrics](https://cutt.ly/NmEMbsG)** **/** *** More ***"R.E.M."*** **Organism Star** candy: **"R.E.M."** **/** ***[Murmur](https://cutt.ly/6mPIH1l)*** **"R.E.M."** **/** ***[Reckoning](https://cutt.ly/KmPIKSM)*** **"R.E.M."** **/** ***[Fables Of The Reconstruction](https://cutt.ly/OmPIZq5)*** **"R.E.M."** **/** ***[Lifes Rich Pagiant](https://cutt.ly/WmPIXWX)*** **"R.E.M."** **/** ***[Document](https://cutt.ly/zmPICOI)*** **"R.E.M."** **/** ***[Green](https://cutt.ly/lmPI0Oo)*** **"R.E.M."** **/** ***[Out Of Time](https://cutt.ly/pmPOH0J)*** **"R.E.M."** **/** ***[Monster](https://cutt.ly/hmPAlbd)*** **"R.E.M."** **/** ***[New Adventures In Hi-Fi](https://cutt.ly/lmPAJ4v)*** *** > **[Organism Star Official](https://organismstar.wordpress.com/)** / Complete *Organism Star* LBRY Archive!

***”Suede”*** are an English rock band formed in London in 1989. The band is composed of singer ***[Brett Anderson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brett_Anderson)***, guitarist ***[Richard Oakes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Oakes_(guitarist))***, bass player ***[Mat Osman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat_Osman)***, drummer ***[Simon Gilbert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Gilbert_(musician))*** and keyboardist/rhythm guitarist ***[Neil Codling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Codling)***. Equally inspired by the glam crunch of **David Bowie** and the romantic bedsit pop of the **Smiths**, the band developed a sweeping, guitar-heavy sound that was darkly sensual, sexually ambiguous, melodic, and unabashedly ambitious. Equally inspired by the glam crunch of **David Bowie** and the romantic bedsit pop of the **Smiths**, vocalist Brett Anderson and first guitarist Bernard Butler developed a sweeping, guitar-heavy sound that was darkly sensual, sexually ambiguous, melodic, and unabashedly ambitious. ***"Sci-Fi Lullabies"*** is a **"Suede"** two-disc compilation released by **[Nude Records](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nude_Records)** on 6 October 1997, consisting of B-sides from the singles that were released from the group's first three albums. "We were lucky that we came a generation after ***[The Smiths](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Smiths)*** because they upped the ante. They were the first band whose singles I can remember buying for the B-sides. They made me realize that singles mattered and B-sides mattered. Our B-sides were never an afterthought, because it was all about the whole package. The single cover looked like the tracks inside and songs worked with each other. Sci-Fi Lullabies was a chance to bring together some of our favorite B-sides." - ***[Mat Osman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat_Osman)*** reflecting on the compilation. Unlike most B-sides compilations, Sci-Fi Lullabies is far from extraneous - for any Suede fan, and most fans of contemporary Britpop, this is absolutely essential material, confirming the group's status as one of the '90s' greatest bands. ***”Europe Is Our Playground”*** is the fourteenth song on Suede’s compilation album ***”[Sci-Fi Lullabies](https://open.lbry.com/Suede---Sci-Fi-Lullabies:9721e2f2da00354e30db27340636d28cb3cb57d2)”***. *** ***Suede*** info: **[Official](https://www.suede.co.uk/)** **/** **[(Un)Official)](https://www.theinsatiableones.co.uk/)** **/** **[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suede_(band))** **/** **[Discogs](https://www.discogs.com/artist/92564-Suede)** **/** **[AllMusic](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/suede-mn0000586694/discography)** **/** **[YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNf1p4SVbcFWKJULVNvl3A)** **/** **[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/suede/)** **/** **[Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/suedehq/)** **/** **[Twitter](https://twitter.com/suedehq)** *** More ***"Suede"*** **Organism Star** candy: **Suede** **/** ***"[Suede](https://open.lbry.com/@OrganizamStar:8/Suede---Suede:e?r=J9ppWUcRdnm4CihRw1P1jXyZPbwpwcmX)"*** **Suede** **/** ***"[Dog Man Star](https://open.lbry.com/Suede---Dog-Man-Star:d04e704b6d6ae9d0eb7c2b93a2289eef117170b2)"*** **Suede** **/** ***"[Coming Up](https://open.lbry.com/@OrganizamStar:8/Suede---Coming-Up:8?r=J9ppWUcRdnm4CihRw1P1jXyZPbwpwcmX)"*** **Suede** **/** ***"[Head Music](https://open.lbry.com/Suede---Head-Music:6000c8b8126ba8e7645439204dbef636e505db2d)"*** **Suede** **/** ***"[A New Morning](https://lbry.tv/@OrganizamStar:8/Suede---A-New-Morning:5)"*** **Suede** **/** ***"[Bloodsports](https://open.lbry.com/Suede---Bloodsports:74c8810853c151f79ae099eca2f51920a6971909)"*** *** **[Organism Star Official](https://organismstar.wordpress.com/)** / Complete *Organism Star* LBRY.TV Music Archive

02. My Bloody Valentine - Loomer

***"Stereolab"*** are an English-French avant-pop band formed in London in 1990. Led by the songwriting team of ***[Tim Gane](https://cutt.ly/BmFnRwl)*** (guitar and keyboards) and ***[Lætitia Sadie](https://cutt.ly/dmFnYuG)r***(vocals, keyboards and guitar), the group's music combines influences from *krautrock*, *lounge* and *1960s pop music*, often incorporating a repetitive motorik beat with heavy use of vintage electronic keyboards and female vocals sung in English and French. Their lyrics have political and philosophical themes influenced by the ***[Surrealist](https://cutt.ly/imFnOlx)*** and ***[Situationist](https://cutt.ly/ymFnAt5)*** movements. Although ***"Stereolab"*** found success in the underground music scene and were influential enough to spark a renewed interest in older analogue instruments, they have never had a significant commercial impact. Meaby the key is lost in the interview where ***Gane*** and ***Sadier*** have discussed their musical philosophy - *"to be unique for us was more important than to be good"*. The ***"Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night"***, is the place where the band go on sonic journeys that spiral past the already far-out realms of ***"[Dots and Loops](https://cutt.ly/Mm9iHCw)"*** - ***"[Blue Milk](https://cutt.ly/Km3AUC6)"*** stretches and twists chords and sounds into an outer-space symphony of noise. On ***"[Fuses](https://cutt.ly/vQwxVGM)"*** the ***”Stereolab”*** barely holds on as drums clatter, horns splat, and marimbas meander - but they also refine their blend of jazz, exotica, and soft rock into bubbling, horn-driven pop that's compelling and challenging. The showy production and sometimes busy arrangements might have been overbearing if they weren't paired with typically memorable and melodically pleasing songs. Luckily, the album is full of the kind of hooky, sticky songs that the band made their name on. It combines dense experimentation that engages the mind with lovely pop songs that pluck at the heartstrings. ***”The Emergency Kisses”*** is the fourteenth song on the band's sixth studio album ***"[Cobra And Phases Group Play Voltage In The Milky Night](https://cutt.ly/bm9i2Wp)"***, released on 21 September 1999 and was issued ***"[Duophonic Records](https://cutt.ly/nmFZnnE)"*** and ***"[Elektra Records](https://cutt.ly/AmFZWIh)"***. The album was largely co-produced by ***"Stereolab"***, ***[John McEntire](https://cutt.ly/2mLukmJ)***, and ***[Jim O'Rourke](https://cutt.ly/bmLuxDS)***. *** More ***"Stereolab"*** **Organism Star** candy: **"Stereolab"** / ***[Peng!](https://cutt.ly/Qm9iuZM)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[Switched On](https://cutt.ly/3m9ifx0)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[The Groop Played Space Age Batchelor Pad Music](https://cutt.ly/Jm9ilaA)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements](https://cutt.ly/Em9ib6b)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[Mars Audiac Quintet](https://cutt.ly/xm9iRfJ)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[Refried Ectoplasm (Switched On Volume 2)](https://cutt.ly/Zm31L2T)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[Emperor Tomato Ketchup](https://cutt.ly/um9iOXY)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[Dots And Loops](https://cutt.ly/Mm9iHCw)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[Aluminum Tunes](https://cutt.ly/am9iV6c)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[The First Of The Microbe Hunters](https://cutt.ly/Zm9i4DW)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[Sound-Dust](https://cutt.ly/Bm9oray)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[Margerine Eclipse](https://cutt.ly/7m9op14)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[Oscillons From The Anti-Sun](https://cutt.ly/om9ofEs)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[Fab Four Suture](https://cutt.ly/Ym9olIL)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[Chemical Chords](https://cutt.ly/Lm9obcI)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[Not Music ](https://cutt.ly/hm9oT4m)*** **"Stereolab"** / ***[Electrically Possessed (Switched On Volume 4) ](https://cutt.ly/Xm305mY)*** *** > **[Organism Star Official](https://organismstar.wordpress.com/)** / Complete *Organism Star* LBRY Archive!
