	I bought Dots and Loops when I was 19 on the day it came out, and it still holds a place as my favorite Stereolab record, regardless of the negative criticism it's received over the years. As much as I adore Transient (it was my first), Dots is just the perfect encapsulation of what makes the Groop so wonderful. Nice work.

	yes, this was the album that hooked me on stereolab too. And still easily my favorite of theirs.

	Good article. I think this album is great, too. It's not my favorite - that would be Mars Audiac Quintet, which is also excellent - but it would make my top three for sure.

	FYI... Andi Toma also worked on a few "Margerine Eclipse" tracks. And, coincidentally enough, happens to be my favorite Sterelab album along with "Dots and Loops."
