Recording information: Twinpeaks Studio. On their second full-length release, the combined talents of members of Mogwai, To Rococo Rot, and Hauschka conspire to produce a set of sublime vocal and instrumental electronica that's sometimes reminiscent of a more laid-back Postal Service. Chiming keyboards, whispered vocals, and synthetic rhythms blend in a gorgeous swirl of artfully arranged melodies, with particular highlights being the slowly intensifying "NY 75" and the gently percussive rhythms of "Every Bulb in the Place Blew."
Music A.M., czyli Luke Sutherland (Mogwai), Stefan Schneider (To Rococo Rot) i Volker Bertelmann (Tontraeger), ostrożnie, prawie nieśmiało, połączyli różne wątki: kontemplacyjną, ambientową elektronikę, struktury muzyki country, folk i pop, luz i lekkość post-rocka, w nowoczesną jedność, którą można nazwać "data pop".
Po premierowej płycie "Music Am", doskonale przyjętej w kręgach fanów niezależnego rockowego grania przyszła pora na kolejny album.
