Originally released in 2000 (NorteSul, EMI),
Stereogamy was the first full length album by
Stealing Orchestra. The album's tracks run the gamut from cartoony sound collages, like those of
The Bran Flakes, to experimental work, like that of
Renaldo and the Loaf, to more traditional instrumental compositions. In reviewing Stealing Orchestra at the time of the
Stereogamy release,
Cool and Strange Music Magazine wrote, "No matter how off the map Mascarenhas' musical funhouse gets, with things running backward and jumping in at the most inappropriate spots, there is always the semblance of a song.... It's like a soundtrack a spy movie run through a blender."
