"The fourth volume in the endlessly innovative group's long-running series reminds us that they often dropped their best work away from their full-lengths ... Electrically Possessed feels like a final cleaning of the archives that will hopefully inspire them to look ahead to new horizons".

"One of rock music's greatest unsolved mysteries is why the ongoing 33 1/3 mini book series has managed to cover seminal releases by artists as insipid as New Kids On The Block, Celine Dion, Duran Duran and Andrew WK but apparently not given any consideration to the eccentric and fearsome albums put out by the folks in Stereolab. Hopefully, that will change soon, as the band quietly reformed for live shows in 2019 and continue to reissue fantastic material such as this. And just maybe, if the gods are kind, we could even get some new records in the immediate future. Vive le revolutions!".

"While there might not be quite as many essential tracks here as on the other Switched On volumes, Electrically Possessed is a reminder that Stereolab were releasing so much good music that it was easy to take it for granted at the time, and it's well worth a listen for fans who may have missed or glossed over these songs when they were first released".
