Special Moves is a live album by Scottish post-rock band Mogwai, released on 23 August 2010 through Rock Action Records. Some of the formats in which the album was sold included a live performance documentary entitled Burning, recorded at the same live shows.
The album was recorded at The Music Hall of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York over three performances from April 27–29, 2009.
The basic format for the album is a CD/Double-LP containing 11 tracks. The album is also available as a limited edition triple vinyl LP box set containing an additional six tracks. For a limited period only, those buying the CD/Double-LP version directly from the Mogwai online store, received a code to use to download the additional six tracks in MP3 format. The extended CD/DVD set also includes the Burning DVD, as does the box set.
Reception was generally positive, with particular praise for the Burning video. Noel Gardner of the BBC said the album had "the ability to make you jump out of your skin" whilst Mojo said the album was "a fittingly monolithic monument to (the band's) work to date". Review aggregator website AnyDecentMusic? correlated 11 reviews resulting in an ADM Rating of 7.9.
All tracks composed by Mogwai.
