Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements is the second studio album by English-French rock band Stereolab, released on 10 August 1993 and was issued by Duophonic Records and Elektra Records. It was recorded with an expanded line-up, and is generally considered to be the band's noisiest release due to its emphasis on distorted guitars and keyboard sounds.
Shortly before the release of Transient Random-Noise Bursts, Stereolab re-recorded the song "Pack Yr Romantic Mind" to remove a sample from George Harrison's Wonderwall Music that they were denied clearance to use.[2] [3]
On the LP edition of the album, the end of the last track, "Lock-Groove Lullaby", extends into a locked groove repeating a phrase sampled from Perrey and Kingsley's "The Savers", from their 1967 album .
Transient Random-Noise Bursts was released on 10 August 1993 in the United States by Elektra Records and on 6 September 1993 in the United Kingdom by Duophonic Records.[4] The album's sleeve design was adapted from that of a hi-fi test record issued by Hi-Fi Sound magazine in 1969;[5] the record itself is sampled on the song "Jenny Ondioline". The majority of the first 1,500 LP copies of Transient Random-Noise Bursts were destroyed due to bad pressing quality.[2]
On its release, Transient Random-Noise Bursts peaked at number 62 on the UK Albums Chart. In advance of the album, "Jenny Ondioline" was released on 22 August 1993.[6]
A remastered and expanded edition of Transient Random-Noise Bursts was released by Duophonic and Warp on 3 May 2019.[7]
