5...according to our Phil on Tue 12 Dec, 2006.

Sooooo if you didn't know there's a film coming out about Zidane. If you're from another planet then you won't know he's an insanely talented French footballer who's feet are made of silk and magic. He's also rather famous for smacking that Italian dude in the world cup final with his big clever football filled monkhead. Golden TV moments eh.... they live on and on.....Anyway MOGWAI are massive footie fans and thus fans of Zidane.... consequently they've scored this film that's coming out soon (read first line again if you've forgotten what I'm on about). The album is proper lovely (will be CD only) but there's a 2 track 10" taster which features Mogwai in their mostest great hauntingly gentle form. In fact Mogwai are so cripplingly haunting you need to call 'Most Haunted Live' in to sort out out after listening to them. This features 2 tracks called Black Spider which is simply absolutely gorgeous spine tingling cinematic post rock. The flipside is called Half Time (wonder where they got the inspiration for that one) and that's a piano led sombre atmospheric piece which sounds very 'film scoreish' and miserable. It's flipping' lovely and you get a pic of the sweating French wonderboy on the sleeve. Top marks...- Phil
