The words “verse-chorus-verse”
mean nothing to Mogwai. In fact,
Mogwai doesn’t have much use for
words at all.
That’s what happens when no
one in the band wants to sing.
It’s easy to see why the Scottish
instrumental quintet has drawn com
parisons to noise-rock geniuses My
Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth as
well as aural landscapers like
Tortoise and Brian Eno.
“Young Team” starts with two
MOVIES from page 12

cineplex) happens someday.”

said. “Instead of (Hie screen running a

two or three screens running a horrible
movie”
Kinney said Douglas Theatres
bought all the downtown venues as
part Of an effort to keep the downtown
community thriving
“It wasn’t deliberate,” he said. “We
didn’t pursue it The city came to us.
It Is part of a comprehensive downtown
plan.”
Douglas Theatres also took up the
idea of building the potential 20-the

and-a-half minutes of low-key har
monics and delicate melody before a
blistering shard of explosive distor
tion bursts out of nowhere. Ibis sets
the see-saw pace for the whole
record.
While the album changes gears
every few minutes between subtle
effects and overdriven sonic muck, it
doesn’t follow any discernible pat
tern, all for the better.
Incredibly obscure titles such as
“Yes! I am a long way from home”
and “R U still in 2 it” don’t offer any
focus either, but that’s the point. It’s
the sound that’s important, not the
concept.
And what sound it is, too. From
the wailing moans of bass lines to
the lingering squelch of guitar, this
is not your parents’ rock ’n’ roll.
Mogwai takes noise-pop up a
notch and sets the standards for a lot
of bands to follow in their wake.
While “Young Team” is a great
record, the double-CD set of remix
es, called “Kicking a Dead Pig,” is
still better.
The first disc comprises a major
ity of tracks from “Young Team” re
mixed by all sorts of people, includ
ing Third Eye Foundation, D.J. Q,
Max Tundra, Alec The Empire and
Arab Strap. While die original tracks
are somewhat familiar, for the most
'• - ,7-; -- ■'
part, this is a whole new album of
songs.
Easily the most stand-out track
of the first disc is Alec The Empire’s
re-mix of “Like Herrod,” which
could be the soundtrack for a UFO
abduction. Seven second bursts of
energy split among 20- to 30-second
stretches of calmness before the
song hits a steady frenzied pace.
The second disc, which becomes
a veritable battle of the bands, con
sists entirely of remixes of the last
track on “Young Team,” “Mogwai
Fear Satan.” Here, even bigger
names in music prove they can push
the boundaries even further.
While Mogwai takes a crack at it
itself, the other three remixes far
overshadow that band’s. M-ziq’s
attempt is strong, but the Surgeon’s
mix is the best of the three mixes that
fall under 10 minutes.
The final mix, clocking in at
almost 17 minutes, is from the near
mythical My Bloody Valentine
frontman, Kevin Shields. This track
alone is reason enough to buy the
disc.
It’s a sprawling epic of aural gris
tle, and while it isn’t as mind-blow
ing as his remix of Primal Scream’s
“If They Move, Kill ‘em,” it’s still an
essential addition for anyone inter
ested in noise-pop, as well as
“Young Team.”

Megaplex to show only mainstream films
ater complex because it wanted to do it
before any other companies did,
Kinney said
“Other companies don’t want to
come to Lincoln because they don’t
want to fight the rules,” he said.
“Downtown limits size and location,
and other companies want to do what
ever they want and not worry about
those regulations.”
Dixon said he didn’t think the
monopoly of theaters or the proposed
megaplex will hurt small theaters like
the Ross.
“Once the theater is built, it will
offer stadium seating with no blocked
view, and it’s great,” he said. “But if the
24-plex only runs commercial, main
stream films, those people who want
to see quality films are still going to go
to the Ross.”

Unwritten Law
“Unwritten Law”
Interscope Records
Grade: B+
Rocket from the Crypt
“RFTC”
Interscope Records
Grade: B
Unwritten Law was actually
signed to Sony while making this
album but was dropped during
recording. After finishing it up on
their own, the band presented it to
Interscope and landed themselves a
new deal.
Switching labels ended up
being a blessing for Unwritten
Law. Interscope has publicized
them better, and the band now is a
regular contributor to MTV’s 120
Minutes.
The latest single and video
from “Unwritten Law” is for -
“Holiday,” die standard positive
message track that avoids being
cheesy with very addictive guitar
and an occasional tempo change.
The real star of Unwritten Law
undoubtedly is vocalist Scott
Russo. His quality, sing^along
lyrics accompanied by the band’s
strong rhythm section make this a
great act to listen to and see live.
Unwritten Law’s labelmate,
Rocket from the Crypt, is a
straight-forward rock ‘n’ roll act
that adds a trumpeter and saxo
phonist to the usual rock nugget
mix. The band’s latest release, the
13-song “RFTC,” is the band’s way
of proving just how much the mem
bers are Elvis people.
The band is centered on gui
tarist N.D. with the horn players
taking a back seat. This rock-n
homs sound is very colorful, while
complementing vocalist Speedo.
Speedo’s voice is very similar
to the Pietasters’ Stephan Jackson.
Scratchy and lively, die vocal grav
el suits the Rocket from the Crypt
_l_11
OUUllU Wtll.
The band performed several
cuts from “RFTC” at Memorial
Day’s Rockfest at the Westfair
Amphitheatre. The most notable of
these songs was “Break It Up,”
which featured surprisingly good
crowd participation by people who
were more enthused to see Creed.
The songs on the album are
about basic rock ‘n’ roll subjects.
Such songs as “Eye on You,”
“Lipstick” and “Let’s Get Busy,”
deal with the topic of romance.
“Break It Up” and “Run Kid Run”
take on another subject of equal
Harlequin value: rebelling.
As you may have guessed, these
most basic of themes can get old as
the record goes on. Also, with most
of the choruses being two lines that
are repeated numerous times, some
of the songs start to sound alike.
However, this is a good record
for those who are looking to find
some new anthems and an old
school rock ‘n’ roll feel.
-Patrick Miner
1 he band has also returned to
the Vans Warped Tour. At the
Lawrence, Kan., show July 19,
Unwritten Law drew one of the
biggest crowds at the event while
playing a mix of songs from their
previous album “Oz Factor” and
the latest release, a self-entitled
effort.
“Unwritten Law” is a quality
album from start to finish. With the
crunchy guitar of “Lonesome,” the
funky ballad “Before I Go,” and the
comedy of “Sorry,” there’s some
thing for everyone.
In the secret song “418,”
Brandon Bt>yd *«nd Michael
Einzinger, from hard funk-rock act
Incubus, lend their skills. With
Kelly Gray contributing scratches
and mixing to the record, the addi
tional players add even more diver
sity to the formula of pop/rock that
doesn’t get tired throughout.
