MOGWAI - Special Moves (CD+DVD) [CD]

The finest moments of one of the most individual live bands of our time, Mogwai, are perfectly captured in the grainy close-up film Burning with tracks such as "Like Herod's Wall of Noise," the dreamy "New Paths to Helicon pt 1," "Mogwai Fear Satan" (speaking of Bernard Hermann, there's s a shock worthy of Psycho in this song); the funereal "Scotland's Shame," and the strident finale "Batcat." Yet this is only half of the package. It also includes Special Moves, an eleven-track live album. For a band who come to such epic, monumental life in the live arena, it might be surprising to some that this is the first official live compilation they've ever released.
