Mogwai may have lost some of the sonic overload they were known for, but they have added more sensitivity and musical proficiency. It's not as immediate as Young Team or Kicking A Dead Pig, but you could never take that approach further without just retreading old glories. Maybe Mogwai are getting older or maybe they just feel a bit happier - but they have produced an album bursting with melody and magnificent control of structures of sound. Ratts Of The Capital clocks in at over 8 minutes and builds from a slow motif to a crescendo of guitar noise and feedback before fading into quiet meanderings to allow you relax and get your breath back. I Know You Are But What Am I? is the most delightfully simple piano base with variation provided by a beat box and other electronic sounds - like the music to the film American Beauty, fat with atmosphere and a touch of menace. Mogwai manage to create music that has emotional impact and melodic yearnings. It's much more chilled and more subtle than earlier releases and adds to a fine collection of unique soundscapes that most bands can only dream of creating.

| Zidane: A 21st Century Portrai... - Pitchfork "...independent of its visuals, Mogwai's Zidane is a bit of a slog, exhibiting fewer dynamics than the band's usual work" |
| Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait - musicOMH "Their uncompromising sound is the perfect accomplice for a film that refuses to obey conventions; a film that may indeed appear drawn out or even boring" |
