yeah weirdly i’ve always been quite nonplussed by the Atomic album but i love it when i watch the film. i don’t know if it’s just that it works much better with the images, or because the two are apparently different recordings.

I think Atomic (the album) is excellent. Have listened to it loads, although haven’t ever actually seen tbe film. Should do so.

This whole album is great - all three artists really compliment each other very well.

Yeah I watched the show and it didn’t do a great deal for me. I like the soundtrack don’t get me wrong, but think they’ve done better. It’d be interesting to hear what the band think about it. I think they have fleshed out their sound a lot better on the latter soundtrack stuff.

Don’t know if they actually wrote any of it or just played on it, but The Fountain OST is really good.

It’s yer man from pop will eat itself isn’t it?

Still love it to this day that the guy who wrote “Beaver Patrol” has become a sort after composer of Hollywood film scores.

The Poppies were a lot better that they will ever get credit for.

Really? Fuck!

OK the guy who wrote that song about the Italian porn star’s election campaign is now a sought after Hollywood composer!

Now knowing it’s a cover makes me feel better about it, somehow. Never liked it.

Yeah, been listening to a lot of PWEI recently, and they’re still brilliant.

Clint’s been a top Hollywood composer for much, much longer than he was a Grebo frontman, but it’s funny that he’s still remembered for PWEI first and things like Black Swan second.

Whoa, I really like Richie Sacramento. It’s almost like another band but still Mogwai if that makes sense.

edit - well after paying no previous attention to their last few albums this seems like the way they now sound

Jealous of this. Thought I was finally going to catch Bardo Pond at Primavera a few years ago and then they pulled out at the last minute.

On the Happy Songs for Happy People chat. What’s the one that’s just a short feedback loop? Is it Boring Machines Kill Sleep? Anyway, that’s probably my second favourite Mogwai track. It’s so simple but so intense. It makes me really happy.

Glad the album worked as intended

I know this isn’t a studio album but I use to play this to death. It has always felt like one of their own to me.

Never got on with it.

Oh boy I have a real problem with kicking a dead pig… I had a friend who owned young team and used to blast it and it massively excited me, sounded like nothing on earth so I asked my parents for “the mogwai album” for my birthday present. My dad was like “which one”, I said “don’t worry, they’ve only got one, you can’t get it wrong”.

Guess what I unwrapped? It’s probably not objectively bad but it reeks of disappointment to teenage me

really enjoying this. That one-two of Batman/Tuner… had forgotten or never really appreciated how good those two tracks are.
