Stereolab's 1993 Studio Album Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements on 2LP. Remastered from the Original 1/2" Tapes by Bo Kondren at Calyx Mastering and Overseen by Tim Gane.
On February 28, 2025, Stereolab are making seven of their studio albums available again as 2LP editions. These utilise the same remasters as the 2019 expanded album editions, cut from the original 1/2" tapes by Bo Kondren at Calyx Mastering and overseen by Tim Gane, but without any of the bonus material from the 3LP versions (which have now been discontinued), the idea being to make more cost-effective versions of these sought-after titles available to fans and shops. Each record comes housed in a single 5mm printed sleeve with printed inner sleeves, and a protective PVC outer bag.
Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements was Stereolab's breakthrough album, their major label debut, and one of the most innovative releases of the '90s, a musical decade signified by breaking down artistic barriers. It built on the promise of the band's early releases Switched On and Peng! by expanding the scope of their highly distinctive mix of one-chord Krautrock grooves, distorted vintage keyboard noise and Euro-pop. Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements remains Stereolab's most eclectic and experimental early release and also hints at the evolution that lead them to indie-rock stardom.
