I still think that young team is the best, and in my opinion, they've gone down hill ever since. I think it was the 4th lp (happy songs) when I stopped waiting and caring for them to release "amazing" lps - it just turned to wallpaper. People like Pelican were doing stuff more interesting , I thought.

fave mogwai song has to be "R U still into it" (feat Aidan Moffat) off of BMX bandits ep.

and I was lucky enough to see the young team tour in the tunnels (glasgow)...fooking amazing. (shame they had what looked like Bis on acid supporting them)

Not my favourite album or track but rather special. 'Zidane: A21st Cebtury Portrait'

Best heard in context initially then listened to at ones pleasure. Anyone seen the film (art piece) out of interest?

I thought it was fantatstic

I agree 100% with that.

I really love the track Hugh Dallas (vocals 'n a'thing, min) but Mogwai Fear Satan will always be my favourite.

Mogwai at the Barras 1998 was one of my fave gigs ever. I was deaf for a week it was so loud!

All time favourite track is 'Mogwai Fear Satan', 15 minutes of sheer perfection and beauty.

Don't find any of the albums bad as such, but Young Team, Happy Songs and Mr Beast are probably the most consistent for me personally. The Government Sessions album is really good. The Kicking A Dead Pig remix album is pretty wank on the whole. Haven't seen the Zidane film as yet but the album works perfectly well in itself IMO.

After listening to City Of Echoes twice to date I have reached the conclusion that it is a rather disappointing retread of old ground.

One would bloody hope so! At the very least I'm going to find out if it's a myth or not.

The impression I get is that people were dicking about during there set and talking a lot, they were asked to be quiet and ignored it. I wasn't there so perhaps a witness could give clarity.

I could understand them being pissed off. The Mogwai experience (to me at least) is the rollercoaster between delicate sections and blasting your face off with gorgeous noise. It would lose it's charm if you just had noise and a pisshead larking about.
