Ok, can anyone upload some albums for me? Soulseek curiously doesn't return any results for this group. Weird.

PM sent. I think you will find them boring though. I'm sure I remember you saying that you were'nt big on Post Rock. I hope I'm wrong though because they are immense.

I really want to get into this band, but have no idea where to start!

Agreed, you'll be hooked after the first song.

I'd say start with Mr Beast, its easily the most accessable album they've made, i also think its their best personally. If you like that then Happy Songs For Happy People should be your next port of call - its a slightly more challenging listen but is almost on a par with Mr Beast. Mogwai Young Team also needs to be heard

That is an amazing song, no doubt.

I just want to force every mainstream rapper to listen to that song so they understand what an auto-tuner is really meant for.

I'd have to go with everyone here who is saying start with Happy Songs for Happy People... its definitely the most readily accessible Mogwai album with the classic sound of the band...

But also, make sure soewhere on the Journey you don't miss out on Young Team. That album is a genuine Post - rock classic, and make sure you play all of "Mogwai Fear Satan" in its entirety, often. Seriously, its a piece of music that can literally bring a tear to my eye just with its amazing, epic beauty. I love Mogwai.

I really need to hurry my ass up and buy a copy of The Hawk is Howling...
