New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Stereolab share "Wow and Flutter [7" / EP Version - Alternative Mix]" from the forthcoming Mars Audiac Quintet reissue. The release comes ahead of the group's yearlong campaign to reissue all seven of their original Elektra studio albums released between 1993-2004, beginning with Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements and Mars Audiac Quintet on May 3rd via Warp Records / Duophonic UHF Disks.
Says the group's Tim Gane about the unearthed, alternative version of "Wow and Flutter":"In some ways I consider this the beginning of the 2nd phase of the Lab, it's the kind of treatment we should have given "Outer Accelerator", to get it to the next level. It's definitely the approach that we would take on many of our later records."
