Mogwai (rock, albums, member, quote, band)

Blue · 10-14-2008, 02:28 PM

I've only heard Young Team so far, but I definately have an interest in hearing the rest of their material. I've heard the odd song here and there too (like Auto Rock, which I found really incredible), but I guess I'm still somewhat of an unexperienced fan. I'm definately a big fan of the post-rock music I've heard, the slow development of it all, and the whole artistry that seems to be involved with it. So, does anyone have any suggestions as to what album I should maybe try out after Young Team? I'd love any thoughts you might have.

I adore the 'Zidane' film soundtrack and I also have Mr. Beast and Government Commissions which is a compilation of their radio sessions.

I've convinced myself that 'Hunted by a Freak' is the best song of all time. I'm not even joking. I have never connected to a song so strongly.

I recently got Mr. Beast, and I thought it was a good album. Off of the first listen, Auto Rock, Acid Food, Team Handed, Friend of the Night, Emergency Trap and I Chose Horses really caught my ear. I was actually going to get the Zidane soundtrack instead, because I'm a big fan of atmospheric kind of music, and I heard the album is more in that vein. Also, jackhammer, you seem to love it, and I respect your musical tastes. It will probably be the next one I get. I am interested in hearing Happy Music for Happy People as well though.

Happy Music is a MUST own, it has what I think is their best song and it is probably their best album start to finish IMO.
