i regard "the earth is not a cold dead place" to be one of my favourite albums ever.

they have a great ear for music and write some of the most moving music of recent years.

EITS don't make music, they make sound effects using notes, just like Wagner did almost a century and a half ago. Consider the sound of a heart-monitor created in "First Breath After Coma", and how the rest of it is an aural representation of a concept. That's not music, that's the scourge of music. They are ripe to do a film soundtrack.

I think they should stick to soundtracks, although I wouldn't like to hear that work outside the context of the film.

It seems everyone went to that gig at Drummonds. I can see it becoming like the Sex Pistols at the Free Trade Hall, but producing a glut of sincere, accompolished muso bands instead of exciting, essential punk bands

i find mogwai to be emotionless and are not the best in the field, they are the ones who get the most press

like post rock?check out these bands who do it ten times better than mogwai (imo)

maserati

grails

the mercury program

red sparowes

mono

friends in the mountains

dirty three

the halifax pier

tristeza

gsybe

i hate how mogwai are hailed as "pioneers" of post rock

they are for lazy journalists who like to generalise
