KonstantinLApr 1, 2005The version of 'Like Herod' that is included on this CD is amoungst the greatest things ever recorded. Simply awesome. It also has the voice of the late great John Peel on it. What more could you possible want?

AnandgyanMar 17, 2005Like a snapshot of a live show where the tracks segue nicely into each other, no tiring crescendo keeping coming back, but a smooth valley and a couple of peaks but what comfort and what a rush!

JoeNFeb 24, 2005Not a greatest hits collection as it misses out most of their greatest hits. However the version of "like herod" is the only song that's ever scared me and the overall quality here is fantastic. Helicon 1 is a truly great tune.

Though die-hard Mogwai fans are probably the most likely to pick this up, Government Commissions works so well that it could also double as a Mogwai greatest-hits collection.

Hardly an essential addition to the Mogwai catalogue (diehards excluded, of course).

The quality of the music here, whether you agree that some of the session versions match or improve upon their originals or not, make this a collection worth picking up for sheer song quality alone.
