The thing about being a poor wee man, as myself, is that I can't afford to see Mogwai live this year, unfortunately. That's pretty sad; they're no a band not to see before you die. I first figured I'd listen to their album's to help me get to sleep but I'd always end up listening to the whole thing, before I nodded off. They're a force.
they have toured together. i have no idea how to classify either band's music. 'post-rock' is something i've heard tossed around, but either way, I think I would classify them both in generally the same category. Personally, I'd file them both under "the stuff dreams are made of".
You obviously have not heard anything else by this band if you think they're just "quiet instrumental" music. I've seen them in concert, probably one of the loudest shows ever.
I've seen Sigur Rós twice and Mogwai once (and have all both bands' studio albums) and can say that yes, at times they are loud, but normally just reflective. Peaks of the Mogwai concert were some of the loudest I've experienced but Sigur Rós only opened up in that fashion by finishing with Untitled 8; other than that they were calmer. I have only seen both bands in large situations though; I'm comparing them to gigs like 65daysofstatic onces which are loud but in a smaller room.
i like the pace on this performance. They are like radiohead in that way: they play better live. BTW: what are u guys discussing about??? i dont care if anything is art.. i just know what i like and theres nothing anyone can do to change that. period.
hahaha you guys are full of yourselves. i agree with brianjonescity, art sucks fat veiny prison cock, good music is good music as a picture is a picture as a painting is a painting etc. art is word for 'art dealers' to use to sell stuff to pretentious rich snobs
art dealers artists art dealers artitst those who cant do teach sir u are a teacher learn ur history about proper art music is an art form not sound waves sounds good but theres more to just sound the muscles in them they use to advocate such lovely art every single drop of blood and sweat put into this the thinking and creating its an art form and this piece is a master piece.
Carni, what are you talking about? If you are trying to explain art in the form that you're writing in, please follow djdeloris' advice and get some spelling and grammar lessons. Your manner of writing isn't isolated but is sure angers the hell out of me.
that's foolish, i'm saying is music is MUSIC, you know like a series of notes strung along to create a song. the rest is arbitrary. any discussion there? or are you gonna go into the 'art' lecture. just shut up and listen...and turn it up to you little bitch i like this song.
...and carnicerodeperros, i have NO idea what you're saying sorry, invest in some punctuation and grammar.
ever heard of John Cage? Its not pretentious to try to figure out why you like music and sound and why it affects you emotionally. If you play guitar and you like a song you're going to try to understand it and work out how to play it - same goes for the sound of traffic or birds singing or whatever, you cant play it on an instrument, but these things can affect you,so why not try to understand why. Your viewpoint is just inflexible inverted snobbery,and you're not saying anything at all - fail
"True Art". Rubbish. Art is completely in the eye of the beholder. Mogwai is probably like my favourite band but, music is music. Just because something's "pop" doesn't mean it's bad. I mean look at Radiohead! That's all verse chorus verse chorus pop music, but look how amazingly beautiful it is? I mean shit. And besides, post-rock is nothing new, chicketty-check Tortoise out - 1995 man. Everything is art.
and I think even before than Tortoise, Bjork has her post-rock/trip hop going on sometimes, and I don't really cathegorize Radiohead in the pop genre, I think they have some pop style sometimes but they're more like an alternative band
either way they're an awesome band...I mean Mogwai...and Radiohead
you know, everything I think, "ok they can't make it a level more awesome now", these songs come... they are one of the biggest artist in the post-modern world

True Art. What are pop bands compared to bands like Mogwai and Sigur Rós? Nothing.
They got blown away by the melodies and the feelings of the audience. Post-Rock is the new Art.
