This is Mogwai's instalment to the Travels In Constants singles club on Temporary Residence released last year. However they managed to get their hands on a limited number of copies for people who were not lucky enough to get it first time round.

Track 1, simply called Untitled starts with drifting guitars building up to a driving atmosphere laden with haunting vocals before gently placing you on the ground with the words of a monologue bringing you to your senses. The next track Quiet Stereo Dee builds you up gradually leaving you expectant for a dramatic end but instead drifts off into space. This brings us to the final track Arundel is a Papa M cover and is a gentle piano instrumental, a relaxing end to a great single.

This is one of Mogwai's best singles since No Education = No Future and it's a shame that it is limited. There are however samples of the song on Mogwai's web site so you can hear what you are missing.

It should be reviewed cause it's great. The Papa M song is very similar to the original, but still wouldn't call it 'calming' i find it pretty unnerving.

If anyone is desperate to get hold of one, they are apparently on sale on the American leg of the tour, but that might be a bit trick to sort out.

So people can know if it's worth downloading from Napster or not :)

You can still get copies if you want though.

Hmmm but where do you draw a line, not review limited editions of 500, or 1000 etc etc?

It builds up an archive of reviews which people can read at thier pleasure. There are records out there that I will prob never get a chance to own but it doesn't stop me wanting to read reviews about them.
