''Rock Action'' is the third full-length studio album by Scottish Post-rock band Mogwai . OVERVIEW This effort was one of Mogwai's most commercially successful albums, and is considered among their most accessible releases. ''Rock Action'' brought with it some changes to Mogwai's sound that they would continue to develop later, including the use of electronic instruments. While song structures on this CD are typical of the band in most cases and respects, some of the contrasting dynamics have been toned down slightly and many of the songs focus more on texture than on structure. For the first time, Mogwai utilised '', featuring (Welsh-language) vocals from Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals (When the inside cover is unfolded part of the logo for '' Mwng '', an album by Super Furry Animals released the previous year, can be seen.). The sound of ''Rock Action'' is somewhat less dark than previous works, but maintains Mogwai's cryptic cynicism.
