Music reviews of Special Moves (CD + DVD + download of 6 bonus tracks)
Music Review: A present for Mogwai fans
Rating: 5 Stars
This CD/DVD combo is nothing less than a present for Mogwai fans. It's an absolutely brilliant live album (Special Moves) with an excellent concert DVD (Burning), and as a bonus 6 additional downloadable live tracks.
The "Burning" DVD is shot entirely in black and white, sometimes grainy, sometimes very clear, showing a Mogwai concert in Brooklyn. There are occasional shots of the city, and some takes of the (entranced) audience, but most of the movie focuses on the band on stage. If you've seen Mogwai live, you know what to expect from their shows - and this movie portrays it in all its beauty. For me the highlight of the DVD is a glorious version of "Hunted by a Freak". There's also a blistering version of "Mogwai Fear Satan" that must have been something like a religious experience for the audience. You'll only get a snipped of "Like Herod" in the DVD, but fear not as the entire 10 minute version can be heard on the CD. If I have one minor complaint about the DVD, it's that it wasn't divided in DVD chapters, so it's impossible to skip forward or back to a specific song. Not a big deal, but it would have been a nice touch.
The "Special Moves" CD contains live versions of songs from almost all of the band's studio albums - there's nothing from the "Zidane" soundtrack or the "Ten Rapid" compilation, but every other album is represented. If you take the DVD, CD and bonus tracks together, you'll find that song selection leans heavily towards the band's latest album "The Hawk is Howling", but since that's an excellent album I have absolutely no problem with this. The audio quality is great. I simply can't find anything wrong with this album, and although I own the "Government Commissions" live album, and there are tons of live performances by Mogwai on YouTube, I think I'll be coming back to "Special Moves" very often.
To put the icing on the cake, you also get six additional downloadable tracks with this bundle. At the time I write this, this CD/DVD combo plus 6 downloads is on sale for a grand total of $12.99 on Amazon (though the price may have changed by the time you read this). I'd say this is practically a must-buy for any Mogwai fan. Do yourself a favor, support the band you love, and buy a copy of this thing.

Description of Special Moves (CD + DVD + download of 6 bonus tracks)
Seminal Scottish rock band Mogwai are thrilled to announce their first official live concert film release, Burning, with accompanying live album Special Moves. The film, directed by Vincent Moon and Nathanael Le Scouarnac of the world-renowned La Blogotheque s Take-Away Shows, was shot at the band s sold-out three-night residency at Brooklyn s Music Hall of Williamsburg in April 2009. These creative powerhouses in film and music have come together to produce something undeniably unique and mesmerizing, grabbing the audience from the first opening seconds and never letting go. The 45-minute film presents itself as a modern urban noir thriller, a black-and-white journey, starting on the same electrifying New York streets Bernard Hermann scored for Martin Scorsese. Manholes hiss steam, taxi headlights flare in the camera lens and strangers wait in street corner shadows. Moon and Le Scouarnec call their film an experience of the senses... a lifetime of feelings in just one night.Alternative Rock CDs
