Mogwai

(1/6) > >>

salada:
So. A lot of my friends with good-or-similar-to-me music taste keep ranting about Mogwai, how good they are, how they are going to see them soon, how they just went and saw them and how good they were, and so on.

So I'd like to check them out, see what I'm missing. They seem to have a lot of releases. Any ideas on where to start?

Praeserpium Machinarum:
Supposedly the best place to start would be at the beginning, namely Mogwai Young Team, it made instrumental rock cool again I heard.
The My Father My King EP is also supposed to be excellent.

Tokuma:
Young Team is a really good place to start, as well as their latest album 'Mr.Beast'.

Misereatur:
Seconding Young Team as first Mogwai album. And make sure to follow it with Come On Die Young.
And then you are going to check out Shipping News (Save Everything and Flies The Fields). I am not recommending it, just do it. This is for your own good.

E. Spaceman:
I think the best place to start Mogwai is with Happy Songs With Happy People, it's veru good yet still accesible. Young Team is better, but it's a very long album and it may be harder to get into at first. My favourite thing by them is My Father My King (as Praesarpium Machinarum suggested), but it's only one very long song, which may not be the best investment. Some of Mogwai's mid period albums are more restrained, and some (ot me) find them less interesting.

In my opinion, it should go:

1.- Happy Songs For Happy People
2.- Young Team
3.- Mr Beast
4.- My Father My King
5.- Ten Rapid
6.- EP+6
7.- Rock Action
8.- Come On Die Young
