Listened to it while on my run this morning and Riot was the track that leapt out at me. That would be fantastic to hear live.

This is shockingly lazy and bland, and it embodies the worst of their musical choices from the last 10 years or so. I know it's a soundtrack, but just alternating between a few predictable chords on a piano, with some rote guitar distortion appearing for dramatic effect, and maybe some pre-set synth washes if you're lucky, is risible, and insulting. Barry is all over this, and not in a good way.
Mogwai were once surprising, even antagonistic. They've since become a comfortable, instrumental Coldplay, eager to soundtrack any middle-brow TV series that comes their way, and it's thoroughly embarrassing.

Contrast Mogwai's torpid, but no doubt profitable middle age, with Arab Strap: they knew when to quit, and now they're back with some of their sharpest material yet.

Thanks for posting this, would have missed it completely. Absolutely no mention of this anywhere apart from this forum, as far as I'm aware (24 hours after release). I haven't even received a Bandcamp notification email. Where did you see this publicised?

Stuart mentioned it, as well the Mogwai and Rock Action accounts. The Bandcamp notification came later in the day.

The curse of 10am Friday, which seems to be the standard annouce time for everything nowadays. I must have missed it - probably 100+ tweets down my timeline by lunchtime on Friday. There does seem to have been an issue with the Bandcamp emails. Nothing come here, and I'm not the only one.

The 'Jessica' track on BB is achingly wonderful. And the series used it in the first episode perfectly.
