http://www.velocitiesinmusic.com/ • / vimtv • / vimtv • 84/100 • Overview: Rave Tapes is an introspective look at post-rock, one in which Mogwai are masters at. Where Rave Tapes succeeds is in its versatility. The record starts off by building a somber post-rock soundscape and then oscillates between more optimistic tracks and brooding builders. The record takes an unexpected twist at 'Repelish', tainting the record with a religious undercurrent before blasting you with another few builders.The biggest builder, Blues Hour , shows the biggest dynamic contrast, using minimal guitar and piano with light vocals. This album makes you think and feel things like you would expect a beautiful painting or movie to do, which makes this a must-listen record. • Jake's Track Picks: • 1. Heard About You Last Night • 3.
