Reviews:

''Government Commissions: BBC Sessions 1996–2003'' is a compilation album by the post-rock group Mogwai, released in 2005. The album is a compilation of sessions recorded between the years of 1996 and 2003 for BBC Radio. Following the death of BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel in 2004, for whose show many of the tracks were recorded, Mogwai decided to dedicate this album to him. Peel was one of the band's greatest champions, and it is his voice that announces "Ladies and Gentlemen, Mogwai!" at the beginning of "Hunted by a Freak", which opens this album. The session tracks presented on this album can be quite different from the released versions. For example, the recording of "R U Still in 2 It?" on the album is completely instrumental compared to the studio version on ''Mogwai Young Team'' where Arab Strap member, Aidan Moffat sings lead vocals. - Wikipedia
