i go through phases with mogwai. i'm indifferent for years at a time, then i binge on them for a week or so, then my interest fades.

I do this, too. I still like them quite a bit, but you have to be in a certain mindset/ mood to be able to enjoy them.

I've always considered them quite exceptional, first album I bought was "Happy Songs..." and I had a Peel Session tape in 2003 [recorded at Maida Vale] how I'd luv to get hold of that set again, I listen to so many things that I couldn't say I go out of my way to hear Mogwai these days but always enjoy listening when my mp3 is set to random and throws up "Fear Satan" or whatever...

where are you already at? as in who are you listening to that is making you think you'd dig this band.

for example - if you're getting to Mogwai through more of a Radiohead direction the go with Mr. Beast. on the other hand if you're getting there from My Bloody Valentine then go with The Hawk is Howling.

either way it's really not hard to sample their stuff on youtube.

Hmm... Someone else I talked to said Young Team wouldn't be a good starter, and recommended the live one or Mr Beast....

Well it's where I started and I love the band. So I guess it's each to their own.

Mr. Beast is verrrryyyyy lukewarm -- it won't give you any idea how Mogwai handle dynamics or anything more than pedestrian. I second Young Team as a starting point; it's climactic, serene, and cacophonous at times.
