***"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"*. Despite its semi-archival status, the band’s tenth album ***Not Music***, sounds fresh, and distinct from ***"Chemical Chords"***. It shares the streamlined feel of that album, but many of these songs don’t fit that album’s distillation of lounge, **Motown**, and **French pop** elements - and those that do, sound like warped reflections of them. These songs take a more cerebral, yet still playful, with some moments that evoke ***"Stereolab"*** quintessential sounds; ***"[Equivalences](https://cutt.ly/Sm3JDB9)"*** rides a descending keyboard motif that the group’s fans will recognize immediately, while the dreamy waltz ***"[Aelita](https://cutt.ly/Um3JGBq)"*** and ***"[Lelekato Sugar's](https://cutt.ly/mm3JFK6)"*** mix of fuzz bass, marimba, and ***Laetitia Sadier*** sweetly whispered philosophical nothings evoke the ***"[Mars Audiac Quintet](https://cutt.ly/xm9iRfJ)"/"[Emperor Tomato Ketchup](https://cutt.ly/um9iOXY)"*** era. ***”Not Music”*** is all over the place in the best possible way, and fans who love the band’s gracefully intellectual side will especially appreciate it. Taken with ***”[Chemical Chords](https://cutt.ly/Lm9obcI)”***, it’s a testament to just how much ground the band could cover while remaining purely ***”Stereolab”***. ***”Two Finger Symphony”*** is the seventh song on the band's tenth studio album, ***”[Not Music](https://cutt.ly/hm9oT4m)”***, released on 16 November 2010 by ***"[Drag City](https://cutt.ly/Wm2chwU)"*** and ***"[Duophonic Records](https://cutt.ly/ym2ckxS)"***. *** ***"Stereolab"*** info: **[Official](https://cutt.ly/8mQOGE4)** **/** **[Wikipedia](https://cutt.ly/VmQOIoI)** **/** **[Unofficial](https://cutt.ly/tmQSJuL)** **/** **[Allmusic](https://cutt.ly/jmQPueG)** **/** **[Pitchfork](https://cutt.ly/omQPKqT)** **/** **[Last.fm](https://cutt.ly/JmQPVA8)** **/** **[Rateyourmusic](https://cutt.ly/emQAw1X)** **/** **[Discogs](https://cutt.ly/8mQPpky)** **/** **[Bandcamp](https://cutt.ly/YmQAuvN)** **/** **[YouTube](https://cutt.ly/cmQPhgK)** **/** **[Facebook](https://cutt.ly/mmQOB4B)** **/** **[Spotify](https://cutt.ly/WmQPONT)** **/** **[Instagram](https://cutt.ly/TmQO1ZR)** **/** **[Twitter](https://cutt.ly/7mQOMKr)** **/** **[Lyrics](https://cutt.ly/FmQS9fK)** **/** **[Photos](https://cutt.ly/rmQDumG)** *** More ***"Stereolab"*** **Organism Star** candy: ***[Peng!](https://cutt.ly/Qm9iuZM)*** **/** ***[Switched On](https://cutt.ly/3m9ifx0)*** **/** ***[The Groop Played Space Age Batchelor Pad Music](https://cutt.ly/Jm9ilaA)*** **/** ***[Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements](https://cutt.ly/Em9ib6b)*** **/** ***[Mars Audiac Quintet](https://cutt.ly/xm9iRfJ)*** **/** ***[Refried Ectoplasm (Switched On Volume 2)](https://cutt.ly/Zm31L2T)*** **/** ***[Emperor Tomato Ketchup](https://cutt.ly/um9iOXY)*** **/** ***[Dots And Loops](https://cutt.ly/Mm9iHCw)*** **/** ***[Aluminum Tunes](https://cutt.ly/am9iV6c)*** **/** ***[Cobra And Phases Group Play Voltage In The Milky Night](https://cutt.ly/bm9i2Wp)*** **/** ***[The First Of The Microbe Hunters](https://cutt.ly/Zm9i4DW)*** **/** ***[Sound-Dust](https://cutt.ly/Bm9oray)*** **/** ***[Margerine Eclipse](https://cutt.ly/7m9op14)*** **/** ***[Oscillons From The Anti-Sun](https://cutt.ly/om9ofEs)*** **/** ***[Fab Four Suture](https://cutt.ly/Ym9olIL)*** **/** ***[Chemical Chords](https://cutt.ly/Lm9obcI)*** **/** ***[Electrically Possessed (Switched On Volume 4) ](https://cutt.ly/Xm305mY)*** *** > **[Organism Star Official](https://organismstar.wordpress.com/)** / Complete *Organism Star* LBRY Archive!

Copping their name from ***[William S. Burroughs](https://cutt.ly/knKjvcv)*** euphemism for ejaculation, ***"Thin White Rope"*** was founded in Davis, California in 1984. Although the time and place of their formation aligned them with both the Paisley Underground and roots rock movements, the group quickly staked out its own musical territory, divining their own unique brand of dark, surreal, desert rock. ***"Thin White Rope"*** was led by singer/guitarist ***[Guy Kyser](https://cutt.ly/UnHksbT)***, whose harsh, tightly coiled vocals and unsettling lyrics combined to give the band its edge; in the group's first incarnation, Kyser was joined by guitarist ***[Roger Kunkel](https://cutt.ly/ynHkhgk)***, bassist ***Kevin Staydohar*** (soon replaced by ***Steven Tesluk***), and drummer ***Jozef Becker***. ***"The One That Got Away"*** is the sixth and last full-length album by ***"Thin White Rope"***. The double CD is a recording of the band's last show and was recorded live on 28 June 1992, at ***"[Democrazy](https://www.democrazy.be/)"*** in Gent, Belgium. It comprises the entire show, except for ***"[The Ruby Sea](https://cutt.ly/RmurPu0)"*** and ***"[Moonhead](https://cutt.ly/SmuraTl)"***, which were released as a 7" vinyl single, and ***"Thing"***, which has never been released in any format to date. Most interestingly, the recording's surprisingly high quality reveals that much of the slickness of the band's album work is due not so much to production, but to the band's presentation itself - as their rhythm section churns through tight rock workouts, guitars lay smooth, atmospheric textures above them in a live format. It was hot, it was sweaty, it was unforgettable! ***”It's OK”*** is the twenty-first song on ***”Thin White Rope”*** fourth album, ***"[The One That Got Away (Live In Gent)](https://cutt.ly/ImurLim)"***, released under the ***"[Frontier Records](https://cutt.ly/inKjjFP)"*** in 1992. *** ***"Thin White Rope"*** info: **[Wikipedia](https://cutt.ly/YviyhXX)** **/** **[Bandcamp](https://cutt.ly/Iviykzv)** **/** **[AllMusic](https://cutt.ly/nvauXru)** **/** **[Discogs](https://cutt.ly/eviyzG3)** **/** **[Last.fm](https://cutt.ly/6nGI6OQ)** **/** **[Spotify](https://cutt.ly/3nGOAgw)** **/** **[Youtube](https://cutt.ly/tviynIq)** **/** **[Facebook](https://cutt.ly/tviybpN)** **/** **[Lyrics](https://cutt.ly/LnGIsaj)** *** More ***"Thin White Rope"*** **Organism Star** candy: **"Thin White Rope"** / ***[Exploring The Axis](https://cutt.ly/TmuruQv)*** **"Thin White Rope"** / ***[Moonhead](https://cutt.ly/SmuraTl)*** **"Thin White Rope"** / ***[In The Spanish Cave](https://cutt.ly/5murxJY)*** **"Thin White Rope"** / ***[Sack Full Of Silver](https://cutt.ly/umurW6x)*** **"Thin White Rope"** / ***[The Ruby Sea](https://cutt.ly/RmurPu0)*** *** > **[Organism Star Official](https://organismstar.wordpress.com/)** / Complete *Organism Star* LBRY Archive!

# ***Complete [Organizam Star](https://organizamstar.wordpress.com/ "The Sound Of Who We Are") Archive!*** *** # ***The Stone Roses Biography*** ***The Stone Roses*** were an English rock band formed in **[Manchester](https://cutt.ly/pEJ1ytv)** in 1983. One of the pioneering groups of the ***[Madchester movement](https://cutt.ly/CEJ1skE)*** in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the band's classic and most prominent lineup consisted of vocalist ***[Ian Brown](https://cutt.ly/VEJ1fkt)***, guitarist ***[John Squire](https://cutt.ly/uEJ1jrj)***, bassist ***[Mani](https://cutt.ly/EEJ1lyI)*** and drummer ***[Reni](https://cutt.ly/AEJ1xN4)***. Meshing '60s-styled guitar pop with an understated '80s *dance beat*, the ***Stone Roses*** defined the *British guitar pop* scene of the late '80s and early '90s. ***The Stone Roses*** emerged from the remains of ***English Rose***, a Manchester-based band formed by schoolmates ***Squire*** and ***Brown***. The group began playing warehouses around *Manchester*, cultivating a dedicated following rather quickly. Around this time, the group was a cross between classic British '60s *guitar pop* and *heavy metal*, with touches of *goth rock*. In December 1986 they recorded their first demo as a four-piece, including the first studio recordings of “***[Sugar Spun Sister](https://cutt.ly/oEIrEVR)***” and “***[Elephant Stone](https://cutt.ly/REIrbPq)***”. By the time the group's sound had changed considerably, with chiming guitar hooks and a strong melody, alienating some of their old fans, but attracting many new ones. > Again, in 1994. ***The Stone Roses*** create a dense tapestry of interweaving guitars and pulsing bass grooves, but there's no denying that ***"Second Coming"*** is a bit of a letdown. None of the songs are quite as strong as the best on their debut, but there is plenty of good music on the band's much-delayed second record. > While the songs occasionally take a back seat to the grooves, several tracks - ***"[Ten Storey Love Song](https://cutt.ly/hEIu943)"***, ***"[Begging You](https://cutt.ly/UEIiqZP)"***, ***"[Tightrope](https://cutt.ly/sEIieCk)"***, ***"[How Do You Sleep](https://cutt.ly/1EIiiCg)"*** and ***"[Love Spreads](https://cutt.ly/BEIipyr)"*** rank as true classics. > > It might not be the long-awaited masterpiece it was rumored to be, but ***“Second Coming”*** is a fine sophomore effort. # ***The Song Info*** ***“Love Spreads”*** is the twelfth and the last song on the band’s second and the last studio album ***“[Second Coming](https://cutt.ly/WEIri5u)”***, released under the ***[Geffen Records](https://cutt.ly/wRhVN1d)*** in 1994. # ***The Stone Roses*** info: **[UnOfficial](https://cutt.ly/2EIid6h)** **/** **[UnOfficial/Ian Brown](https://cutt.ly/sEJNHIS)** **/** **[Wikipedia](https://cutt.ly/JEIigcT)** **/** **[AllMusic](https://cutt.ly/4EIikTp)** **/** **[Last.fm](https://cutt.ly/vEJMhEj)** **/** **[Pitchfork](https://cutt.ly/AEJNvu5)** **/** **[Discogs](https://cutt.ly/NEIihhX)** **/** **[YouTube](https://cutt.ly/OEIizEX)** **/** **[Facebook](https://cutt.ly/OEIilWU)** **/** **[Twitter](https://cutt.ly/qEIix1F)** **/** **[Spotify](https://cutt.ly/2EJNsPI)** **/** **[Instagram](https://cutt.ly/4EJNWei)** **/** **[Pitchfork](https://cutt.ly/AEJNvu5)** **/** **[SR Merch Store](https://cutt.ly/kEJN6UJ)** **/** **[Lyrics](https://cutt.ly/zEJNgCB)** # ***Organizam Star Recommendations*** - *** The Charlatans - ["Between 10th and 11th"](https://cutt.ly/ZRzuir5)*** - *** Smiths - ["The Queen Is Dead"](https://cutt.ly/Kv4iaVi)*** - *** Morrissey - ["Vauxhall and I"](https://cutt.ly/UbuvcsN)*** - *** Suede - ["Suede"](https://cutt.ly/rRzuFcb)*** - *** Happy Mondays - ["Bummed"](https://cutt.ly/RRzu11P)*** *** # ***Complete [Organizam Star](https://organizamstar.wordpress.com/ "The Sound Of Who We Are") Archive!***
