Music for the Amorphous Body Study Center is Stereolab making gallery music in the most literal sense: a 1995 EP made with the New York sculptor Charles Long, each song written to sit alongside one of his pieces in the exhibition. At first you could only get it at the show itself, in a run of 1500 copies, before a second limited pressing reached the shops; it has long been out of print.
It's the London band at their most playful, the Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier songwriting team setting vintage keyboards burbling over steady motorik beats, with Mary Hansen's backing vocals twining around Sadier's and Andy Ramsay keeping time. "Pop Quiz" is a bright little lounge-pop charmer. Anyone who missed the gallery can find every track on the compilation Aluminum Tunes: Switched On, Vol. 3.
