"Mars Audiac Quintet" (released in 1994) is the name of the fourth album under study by the English band, Stereolab. The group is led by: Tim Gane (guitar and keyboards) and the French Lætitia Sadier (vocals, keyboards, trombone and guitar). Stereolab's musical style combines sound ingredients from the lounge and easy-listening music of the 50s and 60s with influences from krautrock and pop from the 60s. His music has a strong inspiration in bands such as Can, Kraftwerk and Neu !. .. =)
