Ten Rapid
1997年精选辑《Ten Rapid》是1995——1997年大批单曲的合集,可整个音乐的音色和概念上感觉还是有一贯性,像是同时期的作品。如其他后摇滚乐队一样,Mogwai做得非常精细,变幻莫测的音色和反复的乐段,也像其他乐队一样充满睿智。 Ten Rapid compiles the bulk of the singles Mogwai released between 1995 and 1997, but the tone of the music is so consistent, it could have all come from the same session. Like a post-rock band, Mogwai is about subtle, shifting sonics and repetition, but they are hardly as precious or cerebral as any post-rock group. Each of their songs sounds as if it goes around in a circle, surrounding itself in interlocking, mathematical patterns. While there are waves of feedback washing over the album, the music itself sounds like it's in the distance. Their habit of burying vocals (which aren't featured that often in the first place) also keeps Mogwai from reach, and nothing on Ten Rapid is immediately engaging, even though it is intriguing. With repeated listens, the album reveals its hidden layers, and the music becomes hypnotic in its gradual, deliberate pace and interwoven guitars.
