, an instrumental track from their Rock Action CD (2001). Mogwai are a five-piece post-rock band from Glasgow, Scotland. They have been around since the early nineties and have released six albums. Their compositions are normally lengthy instrumental pieces that incorporate many different contrasts, sound changes, distortion and effects. 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong is an nine-minute plus epic and most likely my favorite Mogwai song to date. The song features various instrumentation, including guitars, bass, drums, brass and banjo. Vocals are also included using a vocoder and chanting can be heard towards the end on the album version. It's truly a great achievement for the band and most certainly gets better with each listen.
I strongly suggest checking out their entire catalog, including the great-sounding live album Special Moves (2010). In my opinion they are at the very top of their genre and I am anticipating another strong effort when they release their forthcoming CD, Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will, on February 15, 2011.
