Sounds Like: From www.thecutofyourjib.com: My favorite track is 'Land of the Dogs' (see video). The song features Reagan’s first inaugural address (government is the problem) and some tribal chanting over some eerie angry guitar work and stumbling drums. It’s a potent combination, and I can listen to it over and over again. I suggest you do the same.The shift in gears to the dreamstate of Migration is dramatic and delicious. It’s like waiting for the sun to come up in Alaska. Throw Portishead, KMFDM, Autechre in a pot and dash with Mogwai, and it might taste like how Mohenjo sounds. That’s a bad analogy, so I’ll just call them the Che Guevaras of music."
