Stereolab ‎– Emperor Tomato Ketchup (New Vinyl) (Expanded Edition)

NEW TRIPLE LP

New sealed copy. Expanded remastered reissue. Includes bonus track LP. Deluxe packaging including 24” x 24” poster.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup is the fourth studio album by English-French rock band Stereolab. It was released on 18 March 1996 and was issued by Duophonic Records and Elektra Records.

The album is named after the 1971 experimental film Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Japanese author and director Shūji Terayama. On the record, Stereolab experimented with composing songs around looped sounds instead of traditional riffs. Critic Tom Moon found the band's compositional approach reminiscent of hip hop and electronica music, with loops being layered into "richly textured collages".
