Reviews In Brief
Mogwai doesn't just use melody, tempo, tone and instrumentation as key factors in a song. They incorporate volume fluctuations, sound fullness and the altering of complexity of a song's genetics. What begins simplistically or sparse slowly becomes dense, louder (or softer) with layers continually being added. It's a major reason they are sought out for soundtracks. "As the Love Continues" displays Mogwai's design formula in almost perfect context. While mostly nuanced instrumentals the Scottish lads do show they can perform a rock-pop tune (Ritchie Sacramento) or flex a little metal muscle (Ceiling Granny) quite deftly making Mogwai hard to classify. ASTLC is for those who, like yours truly, who don't mind hitching a ride down a road that is always under construction.
