about

After years of exploring, searching ourselves, and composing pieces here and there, we found ourselves with more questions than answers. When we could not find these answers in the outside world, we were bound to turn inward. And so we went back to our roots.

This is something we wanted to do while we still have the chance. What cannot be explained in words to parents, we hope can be captured by these songs.

We hope that this album serves as a gift from child to parent. While everything else continues to change, this love remains a constant throughout time.

I love the huge variety of moods on this album. Logic of a Dream alone covers vast emotional spaces. But my favorite parts are the joyful parts. baharv89

Mogwai, best band ever, known them since young team times and impressed with every album so far. Seen them 3(?) times live in 3 different countries and missed them in pukkelpop in 1998. This set gives me the chills and reminds me of the gig at the Sse hydro in Glasgow. Don’t believe the Fife, Helicon 1 , Rano pano and Every country’s sun are my favourites. Mogwai gave a new meaning to loud, this goes through your spine and makes you smile (with pain later). jsheaven
