Stereolab's sound shouldn't work but it does; it's a frothy mix of burbling synth, choppy organ, bossa nova beats and Astrid Gilberto-ish vocals, and lyrics (when they're not in French) about the plight of the worker and the economic folly of the capitalist state. I could recommend just about any of their albums, but I'd suggest "Oscillons from the Anti-Sun", 3 CDs compiling EPs and 1 DVD featuring live appearances (surprise! they don't exactly set the stage on fire...) and video clips. The earlier tracks feature more droning guitar background, and later they experimented with Brian Wilson-esque harmonics.
