2008-10-12 22:41:59 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
Mogwai, one of the most important groups of the post rock movement (though they hate the tag), saying you don't know Mogwai is saying you don't know one of the most important groups in instrumental rock history. With their debut, Young Team, Mogwai gave the world a taste of what Post rock would become, a culmination of twin guitars, moving from...

...MOGWAI's first album, "Young Team", has received many strong ratings just for its very original sound. On the other hand, subsequent albums by the same band have received lesser ratings just because they weren't innovative-enough to match what the Scottish did here True, this album must have made a decent impact back when it was released,...

...Mogwai manages to entrance the listiner with their mellow, dream- like sequences of sound painting. The bulk of the material is instrumental, but that's fine; ;yrics really aren't required for this type of music Mr. Beast'' is the first record by this band I have listened to, and I must say I am very impressed by the unconventional beauty and...

...Mogwai represented an antidote to the stultification of rock n roll in the mid-90's, particularly the waning interest of britpop and thats a little much, considering that Radiohead s OK Computer and Yo La Tengo s I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One came out the same year: as a new band Mogwai showed great and adaptable promise, but it wasnt...

Mogwai 's sixth studio album is, as one might expect, a brooding and atmospheric collection, full of the band's exceptional use of dynamics and creation of hypnotic soundscapes The Hawk Is Howling is, however, partly more reflective thanprevious releases, perhaps sharing more in common with 2001's Rock Action instrumentally the band have...

...Mogwai with Fuck Buttons , a knob-twiddling duo who weave subtle melodies through waves of tribal noise, is inspiring. Both groups make mostly instrumental soundscapes, but go about it in entirely different ways. Mogwai (pictured above) use traditional rock instruments; Fuck Buttons use Nintendo GameBoys, toy microphones, laptops, and...

...MOGWAI's "Mr. Beast" is that it condenses all the good things about post-rock in short, 4-5 minute songs and gets rid of the endless wavering of bands like GY!BE or SIGUR ROS. I've said it before: what other post-rock did to me was it bored me to death. I said that there were some interesting things going on (mostly the clean-guitar work and...

...Mogwai 's Cuddly Kittens '08 calendar has all but bled through with ink entirely at this point. Not only are the Scottish post-rock vets issuing their Roky Erickson-assisted Batcat EP and sixth LP The Hawk Is Howling that month (both on Matador ), but before t
