that wouldn't be something i'd recommend anyone, much less a stereolab
newbie.  just get dots & loops, or even better, emperor tomato ketchup
(my personal favorite), & if you can stand it, go backwards in time from
there.  refried ectoplasm is my least favorite stereolab record & i'm
pretty glad i sold it.  there's a total of around 3 good songs on it. 
good old stereolab is 'transient random noise bursts with announcements'
& 'the groop played space age batchelor pad music'.  if the length of
the title of the next release is any indication, it should be quite
good.  but i doubt i'll buy it.
