His wisdom is all surpassed.
Joy is Stereolab's sound-dust album. And reading other Amazon reviews and finding many reviewers having a similar reaction - that this is, indeed, the groops finest release in years. It leaves the experimentation (which I always liked) behind in favour of some incredible orchestration (lush and beautiful) and good songwriting, and leaves me and apparently many other listeners happy and humming.

And in my case, going "wow" every time I hear it. For the first time, Stereolab's making music I want to hear NOW, instead of music that I'd want to hear if our past visions of the future had come to pass.

Anti-joy is being robbed of our deserved space age.

Joy is finding remnants of how people used to dream about the future.

Too much joy
I'm making a category for joy. Why? 'cuz the dumbest little things can cause just too much of it.

Bossa Nova to Tokyo
my souls been all non stop around the world with a ghost, shimmering in high speed super eight film shots of joy upon joy upon joy.
