Musical Composition
"Mogwai Fear Satan" begins with a guitar melody riff consisting of three chords by Stuart Braithwaite and John Cummings, which is soon joined by bass played by Dominic Aitchison and a frantic drumbeat played by Martin Bulloch, which fades gradually in. The same guitar riff is repeated throughout the song, at times frighteningly distorted. During the quiet parts of the song, in the build up to the explosion of sound and feedback which Mogwai are known for, there is a quiet, haunting flute melody played by Shona Brown over tribal-sounding drums. The song slowly fades out into feedback and noise.
