Stereolab is a UK-based band whose style, mixing 1950s-1960s pop and loungemusic with the "motorik" beat of krautrock, was one of the first to which the term " post-rock" was applied. They are noted for the use of vintage keyboard instruments like Moog synthesizers and Vox and Farfisa organs. Stereolab is also notable for founding their own record label, Duophonic Records, with a grant from UK charity The Prince's Trust. The band is often referred to as "The Groop" by their fans (and in the title of their song "The Groop Play Chord X" on the album Space Age Bachelor Pad Music). They were founded in 1990 by songwriters (guitar, keyboards), formerly of the band McCarthy, and Laetitia Sadier(sometimes credited as Seaya Sadier; vocals, keyboards, trombone, guitar), who is from franceand sings in both English and French.

And in amongst the language
An energy can end it
What we have in common
We have nothing common
That can illuminate
The way to communicate
Within...
The only (viable sun?)
The only (guidable sun?)
The uniforms...
Golden ball (album)
The only (viable sun?)
What we have in common
We have nothing common

It can illuminate
Within...
To illuminate

Illuminate

From visible to invisible
Into...
That illuminates each fragment of the screen
Put into the ball of which it's part
Observe...
There's no above, there's no below
Two...
The only...
