Introduction:
"Rock Action" is the third full-length studio album by Scottish post-rock band Mogwai. The album's title comes from Iggy Pop's nickname for his Stooges bandmate, Scott Asheton. Rock Action brought with it some changes to Mogwai's sound that they would continue to develop later, including the use of electronic instruments. While song structures on this CD are typical of the band in most cases and respects, some of the contrasting dynamics have been toned down slightly and many of the songs focus more on texture than on structure. The single "Dial: Revenge" fills much the same role that "Cody" did on Come on Die Young, featuring Welsh vocals from Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals; the inside cover is unfolded, part of the logo for Mwng, an album by Super Furry Animals released the previous year, can be seen. The sound of Rock Action is somewhat less dark than previous works, but maintains Mogwai's cryptic cynicism.
Track List:
Songs in the album are as follows:
Sine Wave
Take Me Somewhere Nice
O I Sleep
Dial: Revenge
You Don't Know Jesus
Robot Chant
2 Rights Make 1 Wrong
Secret Pint
Untitled
Close Encounters
Achievement:
Mogwai Tickets are available on Sold Out Ticket Market on nominal rates.
