Pink Turns Blue was founded in Cologne in 1985, but their overall morose aesthetic and english lyrics didn’t really fit in with the “Neue Deutsche Welle” that included Grauzone, D.A.F., Liaisons Dangereuses, etc. The influence of Husker Du is immediately clear, but they were also fans of Siouxie, Joy Division, Killing Joke, among others.

Mars Audiac Quintet is Stereolab’s third studio album, less of a rocker than 1993’s Transient Random-Noise Bursts…, edging even closer to dreamy lounge pop. Lætitia Sadier’s bilingual vocals are charming and melodic as ever, the sound of the “Groop” softening overall with the loss of a guitarist (Sean O’Hagan) and the addition of a new keyboard player…
