I've not heard anything really from them except a remix of Arcadian. What kind of sound do they have?

Thats gotta be one of my favorite albums of all time. Jam that one during the summer alot. The arab strap remix is probably one of the most beautifull things you can hear, love that melody with the bells.

Love Mogwai so much. They also have absolutely, positively THE best light show at the end of any gig I've ever seen - and I include Muse in that too. Just a special, special band.

wow, such a well thought out, constructed and grown-up way to reply. Not at all an attention seeker sitting at home dreaming up ways to "burn" people over the internet.

well done.

Um. No disrespect, but I think you might be reading too much into his reply there DRS. Doesn't read like a put down to me? Hope not anyway because this is usually a pretty friendly place

I love Mogwai. GY!BE was my introduction to post-rock but Mogwai was the band that turned it into a lifestyle choice. I like their earlier stuff better, but I still love the new album. As much as I love the Loud/Soft aspect of post-rock, it has been done to death, and the new album proves that Mogwai are all about trying new stuff rather than just sticking to an aesthetic.

yeah green pylon always talks like that and is consequently awesome

fair enough, if i interpreted it wrong then my apologies. Seemed to me he was gettin at the fact i'd posted a thread about Mogwai.

Oh, the nights at all those Mogwai shows.....I've seen them damn near 15 times starting back, wow, too long ago. Saw Stuart sit in with GYBE a few times, that was cool. Great dudes too.

necessary to lie?
I should explain that Mogwai are a new point of view of rock music for me, that 'eavy guitars and xplosive drums make a similar feel like Boc. Besides both bands are from Scotland consequently, the english repression could be the mother of scottish creativity? LOL

I apologize for my brief times posting here, the little islands where I live aren't big enough to be a unknown..

see ya

No, the way you talk is awesome!

one of my favourite bands, i'm looking forward to their new album (they posted on their site that it's due for autumn next year). ex-cowboy is amazing check out Ep+2 or Ep+6

They make nice sounds.

I was just chilling out to some of their more melodic tracks last night. R U Still Into It and Cody. Probably 2 of my favs by them.

Four of the loveliest words in the World are up on MySpace:

"Mogwai added new music"

dracula family is really beautiful.

i still don't understand why mr. beast hasn't clicked with me...it just seems forced in comparison to everything else by them. hmm.
