"Government Commissions: BBC Sessions 1996-2003," Mogwai

Alex Slawson & Herman Snell

Scotland's ground-shaking instrumental indie-rockers Mogwai have just released a collection of BBC Sessions spanning 8 years. While not as intense as their actual concert performances, these "live" sessions do give fans a taste of what they are like in an impromptu setting. The 10 tracks were taken from the albums "Come on Die Young," "Happy Songs for Happy People," "Rock Action," "Ten Rapid," "Young Team" and the "4 Satin" EP, providing a nice overview of their career thus far. Nicely produced and sequenced by BBC producers, this will certainly satiate the desire for "new" material just a bit longer.
