About the album Emperor Tomato Ketchup

The Anglo-French outfit Stereolab in 1996 presents one of the most notable music propositions of their career, Emperor Tomato Ketchup. The "curious" title of the album comes from the experimental film by Japanese director Shūji Terayama with the exact same title, a film released in 1971.

This particular album is an excellent example of avant-pop and experimental pop for the 1990s. And how could it not be such when the opening track, Metronomic Underground within its eight minutes has Kraftwerk "meeting" the then contemporary trip-hop scene of Britain, while in the rest of the compositions electronica dominates.

The compositions of the album belong to Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier. The production of the album is by John McEntire.
