Welcome to Earth
Mellow out with the Earth Division EP from Scotland’s Mogwai. The set is melodic and has beautiful, incorporating classical string sounds. If you listen to the album from soup to nuts (it’s only about 15 minutes) you may notice a climax of the album in track 3, ‘Drunk and Crazy,’ with a resolution to follow. Perhaps a long shot, but the album brings to mind the classical...

Even if your experience with CSS is limited to the iPod touch commercial, check out the album. I really dig “Red Alert” featuring Ratatat. For some flavor, here’s “Hits me Like a Rock,” track 2. 04.
