been listening to this release nonstop since it came out. damn, it's soooo good. as soft as rock action, but with less singing. 9/10 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i only heard hunted by a freak so far, pretty decent... more elaborate melody, still doesnt touch ep+2, imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im not familiar with their eps at all. does ep+2 compare to a particular lp? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ep+2 is like CODY but quieter and more reflective. less electronic than Rock Action and songs are longer (and still instrumental). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds good. i'll have to start buying their eps. what do you mean by reflective? melodic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
go listen to some clips on amazon or something. it's REALLY great!!!! i love ep+2. if i could get my hands on ep+6, i would, but its hard to get in the states plus its really expensive i think. if i could have either, i'd go for ep+6, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw: ep+6 is actually 3 ep's on one disc with the christmas steps video and another video i think too. the ep's included are: "ep", "4 satin", and "no education" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
reflective as in introspective. you'll hear what i mean. all their material's melodic anyway. so you know, ep+6 is the same as ep+2 but tacks on 3 additional tracks from another EP called 4 satin (i bought this for $8 or $10 at a show) and the original xmas steps from an import EP. definitely get EP+2 and 4 satin (OR just get EP+6 if it's cheaper that way for you) and also get my father my king (1 track 20 minute ep) and if you can find it, the travels in constants ep. and of course the 2cd remix collection (the 2nd disc is the ep of mogwai fear satan remixes) which is a real must-have. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ep+2 REALLY isnt as good as everyone makes it out to be, i find it rather mediocre, cody is a little better but mogwai just doesnt cut it enough....for me. dont get me wrong its not bad at all but theres nothing that smacks me in the face and makes me wanna keep getting their albums\eps. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my father my king is the best ive heard from them btw, forgot to say that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
listening to cody makes me feel extremely alone |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mogwai are ace, but they're not really ace at all, most people could 'do mogwai' its just no-one does. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some friends and i did an album that leaves mogwai in the dust. itll prolly never see the light of day, as we are on indefinite hiatus (our drummer is in washington state, clear across the country) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmmm. maybe i could put soem of these unmastered cuts up on a zebox site. hmmmm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea do it, i'd like to hear this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmmm. if you gentlemen will excuse me, i shall return. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd like to hear an angel fanny fart, but it aint gonna happen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im gonna rip some mp3's off this demo and post em on a new zebox site. ill do 3 at a time over the course of a week maybe. anyone who wants it can get it. its a whole 60+ minute lp. never got mastered yet. we called the band love tangle. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the new one. not sure how much. i generally listen to a few tracks a lot from all mogwai albums and skip a lot as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hope you guys like slint/caballero/newman/mogwai type rock, cuz in about 5 minutes you're getting some! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the first track is up now. i dont have time right now unfortunately to put more up, but check out this one for now. i will be putting up a page just for these soon. www.zebox.com/tibbar/ "love tangle - lacerated sky" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's ok i definately wouldn't say it "leaves mogwai in the dust" at all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i would. sorry, i find mogwai, with the exception of ep+2 TERRIBLY boring. i think cody was horrible (except punk rock) and so was rock action. but thats just mho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my friend ian: ian: yeah i hate it when people say they are better than someone. ian: well... ian: scratch that ian: cause IM BETTER THAN THIS GUY |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's funny. I wrote a song called Lacerated Vagina once. Oh and I prefer Mogwai to this ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe i hope your other tracks stand up better than this one cos it's pretty ballsy to say you're miles better than mogwai. mogwai are extremely creative. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when did this come out? i havent listened to mogwai in a while.. isnt the right time of year.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whats with the DIS on mogwai......they are awesome musicians and i hardly think they are as UN creative (i dont' think thats a word) as some claim. i mean they wouldn't have a record contract, sold out shows, numerous successful CD's, etc..... strange for a so called BORING band.....sheeeeeesh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, no one gets a record contract, sold out shows, numerous successful CD's, etc..... these days with out being creative! thats unheard of! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
RE: the love tangle thread. oh, and claiming to have a better album as a whole than them is just that. if you didnt like the first song, you might be surprised at some other tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and for the record: other than summer, ep+2 (and im sure 6), and a few scattered songs, I think mogwai is boring and really unvaried. i didnt say YOU would all think the same thing i do. i just said that myself, i find the love tangle stuff superior. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Mogwai are good Glasgow Celtic fans. They get my vote. I see that Stuart Braithwaite Djing sometimes in a club called Nice n Sleazys in Glasgow city centre. He is a wee guy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok but hurry up and put up some new mp3's. start a new zebox account, it'll be easier. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
theyre up. sheesh... you guys are impatient. www.zebox.com/lovetangle |

saw them about 2 months back, they were fanatstic. heard a few new tracks which were similar to cody. at the very end they stood around a laptop making white noise and went/then came back for more - the sound tech was left at the side looking like he didnt know what to do got my value for money that night :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice, i saw sonic youth\wilco last night and there was quite a bit of white noise\feedback(even from wilco...although of course less then sy) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ill download the love tangle stuff :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i enjoy these, i do, and i hear an obvious influence, but tibbar you definitely shot your mouth off earlier |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

I just got this album the other day. It's excellent, especially the first two tracks. Better than Rock Action imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the new album has a full song in cubase on it so you can do remixes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
grower of the corn.......i DO have to agree wit ya. i love this album, but i dunno if it's better than Come On Die Young.....but it's brilliant and SHINEY! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i've been listening to it constantly as well, its been one of my favorite cd's i've bought all year. its about as good as rock action, which is among my favorite albums ever. ep+2 is pretty good, does seem a little overrated though, its probably my third favorite of theirs, tied with ten rapid.. which seems very underrrated, i never see it mentioned, despite it being very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IMO, CODY is superb, but Happy Songs is standing out as my favorite Mogwai. I fuckin love it. It's like they took the best aspects of Rock Action, made everything thicker. If it were food, it would be belgian chocolate. The ONLY album that has come out in 2003 that I consider better is Draft 7.30 (even tho they are totally different styles) and the only other album that may approach it is the new Do Make Say Think, but we'll have to see in October. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wonder if the 90% of the board that never post in mogwai topics, but always in warp related topics, ever feel like they're missing out on something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oooh.. i was wondering when do make say think was coming out with a new one.. tits: i have a feeling they dont, and if they did, they'd go find out what all the mogwai hubbub was about by downloading their tracks and deleting them quickly when they heard a guitar. ;P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know that one of the biggest idm afficionados (someone whose musical taste almost everyone here respects and measures theirs against) on here downloaded a track or two of theirs a year and a half ago and totally didn't get it.. thought it was boring i think. i guess you either get it or you don't.. i have no idea what the criteria for getting it is either, cos i've introduced mogwai to people who don't listen to any music like it and they immediately enjoy it. on the other hand, people who i think "should" enjoy it sometimes don't. |

Wayout: Oct. 6th for the new DMST. It's called "winter hymn country hymn secret hymn." I've heard probably 1/2 the album live and it promises to be incredible! Sorry for the OT-ness everyone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this album is incredible. Hunted by a Freak is the most beautiful creation ever! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
with some bands you've just got to say they are quality and mogwai are one of those bands sine wave is an untouchable song |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree |
