They are okay, never really felt the urge to listen to their albums more than a couple of times. Nothing wrong with it for the most part though. |

They were at Glastonbury 2003. I was really hung over or on a come down or something, and the sun was blasting us with some intense heat. I had a bottle of Captain Morgan's watching Mogwai, just standing, kind of unable to stop myself swaying about. They were absolutely incredible. Exactly what was needed. |

good music. i got the "Happy..." CD and it has got a nice, warm sound with lots of "white noise" guitar riffs. some good melodies also. my favourite is the track 4. they`re much into slowly growing up, dense atmospheres, and deep structures. recommended. |

i like about 30/40% of their stuff, Sigor Ros and early Bark Psychosis do that sound better though IMO |

I like Mogwai. Their early stuff, like Kappa, is really great, but Happy Songs has a pop sensibility that suits their style. The Surgeon Remix of Fear Satan is one hell of a droney monster, and the best off the Remix album. To summarize; Mogwai is good. |

What that bloke said. They're another of these very, very derivative bands that water down the formula a bit and become, by virtue of being picked up the NME and just hanging about, famous by osmosis. Ten years down the line, they've become legends with kids asking about buying their "classic" fucking albums. What an arse of a world. |

Although they have been around a lot longer than Sigur Ros |

hey, sigor ros are good |
||||||||
|
|

|

Nope. |

Oh sorry, I didn't mean to infer Sigur Ros were an originator, but Bark Psychosis, as mentioned by Soundguy definitely were. Check out their track "Scum" (from 1992) for a defining slice of atmospheric build it up and knock it down. |

|
|
yep buy |

|

Yeah, Mogwai are one of the better post-rock bands. If you like this stuff, try: Slint, Fugazi, GY!BE, Sigur Ros (maybe).. |
||||||||
|

|
|
I wasn't suggesting they aren't! belch - yeah I've heard some good things about this band, I'll check it out. |

they are ok until they don't sing in their tracks ;) |

Their remix of Link's Arcadian is beautiful, its more like a cover version than a remix. I really wish they'd do another really sad extreme album like Come On Die Young, however they probably wont because theyd feel like they are treading water. I really don't like the way each album is getting poppier. Still a fantastic band though. |

i like some of their songs. tarentel is way better. |

Summer is a quality tune. |

I've changed my tune a bit, I had a good listen to their albums again. 'Tracy' from Young Team is absolutely brilliant, especially the recorded phone call. 'Like Herod' is fucking shite though. |
