CD Reviews

Mogwai have mastered some sort of evil sorcery...

Scott Richardson | 05/30/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"...And they are using it to transform their instruments into dinosaurs halfway through their songs. "My Father My King" begins with a slow, eerie Jewish melody which over the course of the song mutates into a raging, firebreathing torrent of noise. As each instrument is added the tension builds and flows between quiet and loud, until the sound just overflows and peters out in a rabble of pedalled static. Epic, frightening and livid, this is the defining sound of Mogwai crammed into a single song. A nice one to listen to in the dark by yourself, or when you're in a particularly vindictive frame of mind.A note: Get the Australian version if you can, it comes with 2 live 'hidden' tracks: "Helicon 1" and "You Don't Know Jesus"."

Must have for Mogwai fans

"Sublime. Ranges from klezmer ditty to Metallica's 'Call of Ktulu', with Mogwai's usual subdued rage bubbling to the surface exquisitely."

Pure soul

"Postrock postrock! Beautiful postrock. Landscapes of sonic architecture built by loud sonic guitars. Long, extended epics of intense sound. For fans of Godspeed you Black Emperor, Flying Saucer Attack, Sonic Youth, etc."
