Young Team: Deluxe Edition/Remastered & Expanded [VINYL]

Search: R U Still In 2 It
by: Mogwai

Release Date May 26, 2008
Young Team will probably always be my favourite Mogwai album, as I associate it with a certain period of time and it was the first thing I bought by them. That's not to say the things released before & after have no value- My Father the King & Happy Songs for Happy People were standout releases. I had been listening to lots of old Echo & the Bunnymen and Joy Division records when this came out, & it fitted with those- the next step on, no need for vocals. This is probably where the post-rock tag came in...& Mogwai stand out as one of those post-rock (or should it be post-Slint?) acts who espouse an indie (pre-Britpop/Corporate perversion) aesthetic & create soundscapes from what was once guitar rock- see also: Explosions ...

Young Team

Search: R U Still In 2 It
by: Mogwai

Release Date May 26, 2008
If you are familiar with Mogwai then you know how well they can put an album together. Young Team is no exception, far from it. Mogwai do not disappoint, listen to how well these God-like melodic breaths of music massage your thoughts and ears after a hard day and lead you into a sublime trance of relaxation. I am still listening for a third time and absorbing my favorites "like herod" and "summer". Enjoy!

Government Commissions: BBC Sessions 1996-2003

Search: R U Still In 2 It
by: Mogwai

Release Date February 21, 2005
Wow..
While Mogwai may have been sticking to a similar formular for years, when it works, it's earth-shattering. A collection of live Mogwai songs was inevitable since that is their true power. The un-produced gems on this album prove Mogwai really are the kings of (cringe) post-rock.
Like Herod blasts through the speakers for 18 minutes with it's heavy feedback and masterful dynamics. I never liked the Mogwai Young Team Production, but here it sounds brilliant. The real highlight of the collection though has got to be New Paths to Helicon (Part 1). 4 Minutes of sweeping eerie beauty slowly climbing into an atomic bomb, which drops around the 4 minute mark. As soon as it hits, grown men will find it hard to not release a tear. It's beautiful. ... Read More:
