7 Just months after the release of their 1992 debut full-length, Peng!, Stereolab were already collecting odds and ends, collecting early 7-inches and EPs for their Switched On compilation. Over the next six years, the eclectic avant-pop band would put out two more highly-regarded and beloved additions to their Switched On series, proving that they were utterly incapable of putting out bad music during the '90s. Electrically Possessed [Switched On Volume 4], picks up from where 1998's Aluminum Tunes [Switched On Volume 3] left off. Covering Stereolab's least-celebrated era, the 25-track, ...
