Stereolab - Cybele's Reverie (Official Video) 

The 90s were fun times.

I soooo agree! I was just flipping through CDs back in '93 and happened upon Transient Random Noise Bursts and was intrigued not only by their name, but the artwork as a throwback to the old stereophonic test records from the sixties to their cheeky spelling of "groop". I'd no idea what I had purchased but was smitten from the get go. Their mix of Velvet Underground strum, motorik rhythms, musique concrete, avant garde pop, vintage analog synths and Laetitia's smooth Franco-Anglo contralto crooning socio-political axioms as mantras they've been able to create their own meaningful world through their art; and highbrow art it certainly is. Hard to believe it's been nearly thirty years ago and still to this day there has never been another group as mesmerizingly unique as Stereolab and their messages are more important now than ever.

I want to add: bossa nova. Some way...somehow...there is an element of the bossa nova sound in Stereolab's music. I can't quite put my finger on it but it is undoubtedly there. Astrud Gilberto recently died and so I went on a bit of a bossa nova kick which eventually lead me back to Stereolab who I hadn't listened to for quite awhile. Such a singularly fantastic band. They crafted such a unique, unmistakable sound that is pretty universally catchy

Yes ,Not Overrated Nirvana!!

They are so good. I agree with your comment completely

Love what you said. I'm very far from an art specialist, but, yes "symbolist" was the first word that came to my mind about this song. I'm happy that we're at least 2 on this.

keen eye

Lo Boob oscillator is my #1

I have the same longing when I hear this song: it reminds me of places I might have been, or I might have just made up in dreams...

Or even where we wanna be 💭

Artists be that way. And yes we fully appreciate it. 20 years later and we still love their gift to humanity

It's for another video

That's life

Thanks for sharing the lyrics

I'm pretty sure the sample is taken from Sakamoto's song "Rain". It was in The Last Emperor's music score.

Igualmente y fue un gran descubrimiento

Just guessing here. Looking at the lyrics translated to english, it seems like a melancholic song about being nostalgic for childhood. The word "Reverie" means "a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream." I'm not sure about the name Cybele, it is the name of an ancient goddess, which may have something to do with it, or it could just be a name. But my guess is that the title is a reference to whoever Cybele is daydreaming about the days when she was a child.

No. Vanduras sucks.
