>what about the mogwai remix thing out since a couple of months on eye q? >max tundra, alec empire, surgeon and others involved.. any comments? get/diss? here's a review from the up comming issue of e.x.p. (issue B) Mogwai : Kicking A Dead Pig : Jetset Third Eye Foundation, =B5-ziq, Max Tundra, Surgeon, My Bloody Valentine, A= lec Empire, Klute, Kid Loco and others have it their way on the progressive ar= tsy fartsy shoe-gazery sounds of Ireland=92s Mogwai and their latest album, "Y= oung Team". Distorted, dreamy, epic guitars meet rapid fire breaks and or synthesized sounds + effects in varying degrees (some remixes leaning towa= rds more guitar, others with heavier electronics), creating a product that is,= all and all, pretty cool. The progressive mix of techno and guitar is interest= ing, listenible, eclectic and, without a doubt, worth owning (if you=92re into = this kind of thing). On the downside though, people whom are already familiar w= ith Mogwai=92s "Young Team" might be a little disappointed. Unfortunately, som= ewhere between the original and the remix the shear power, emotion, and soul that= the album was great for gets diluted by the clean, cutting, synthesized sounds that compliment it.. Note: This two cd set includes the remix album and a four track remix sing= le of the epic Mogwai Fear Satan. 7/10 -LtDS hope this helps Luke
