Mogwai still pretty much sounds like Mogwai, and although the line from Ten Rapid to Happy Music For Happy People isn't a completely straight one, their work is still fairly interconnnected as they've revisited themese throughout their career. The first is that while the group has changed up their style slightly (adding more electronics, some vocals, and relying less on punishing volume changes), they haven't gone off and done anything too outlandish. While the last couple albums from the group haven't quite reached the dizzying heights of their first releases, there are probably a couple probable reasons for such. I remember the first time that I heard "Helicon 2" back clear back in 1997 and thought that the group was really something new and brave and exciting (I hadn't heard Slint at that point yet, so sue me). Over the course of their nearly decade-long career, Mogwai has managed to stay prolific as well as slightly change their style up with each release so that they simply aren't retreading the same ground over and over again.
