...is one of the most powerful/stunning/incredible songs of all time!!!
Hands up everyone who agrees (& those of you who haven't heard it do yourselves a favour and go out & buy Young Team right now!)

Are you a fan Capt?
Fear Satan is a gym fav of mine. If I've still got 10 minutes left on a machine & need a song to give me a bit of a push then Fear Satan always hits the spot everytime.
AND I'VE SEEN THEM PLAYING THIS SONG LIVE!! ;)
Then I shall kneel @ your altar & am forever jealous Patches! [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]
I just played Fear Satan & Dead Flag Blues back-to-back for my wife! 32minutes +!!! Imagine never having heard these songs before...I pity the fools!!!

I wish I had a picture and I would literally "raise my hand" to show my love for this album.
I have the logo for this album tattooed on my left wrist. It is my favorite tattoo, I see it every time I look at my hand.
I can't wait for the remastered deluxe edition that's due this year.
I too have seen Mogwai Fear Satan live. One of my favorite bands. Actually, my top three favorite bands all start with the letter M.....My Morning Jacket, The Mars Volta, and Mogwai.

Any pictures of your Tattoo Ellistransit? I had no idea that a remastered deluxe edition was due out, thanks for the info. My only complaint when I play Young Team is that it's not loud enough, especially on my mp3 player so that's great news!

hehe
Seriously you can't imagine how powerful this song is when performed live...the loudness will blow you away!
In june I'm going to see Sigur Rós at Southside Festival. I Hope they'll play Viorar Vel Til Loftarasa. Like Mogwai Fear Satan an INCREDIBLE song. Especially the ending!!!! Love it!
Holy hell. I've actually never heard anything by Mogwai. Truth be told, I always tought they were some kind of band like Yngwie Malmsteen's. Someone slap me. Boy was I wrong. I just listened to MFS. Fuck, that song is beautiful! :o :'(
Dragonboy,
If you like Mogwai Fear Satan I highly recommend
Com (?) by Mono, from the album "One More Step and You Die"
Its 16 minutes of bliss with my favorite "post-rock" cresendo ever. :o
Also there album "You Are There" is top notch.
I think they are from Japan, maybe you already know them
Enjoy
I am a huge fan of Mogwai! Young Team is my 2nd fav. album of theirs. Check out the album Ten Rapid. I still get goosebumps listening to that album. :)

Ah, this is a band that Cameron Crowe picked for his limited edition 10 inch series. Wanted to check them out. Thanks Larson.

I'm gonna have to get off my lazy butt and fiund one. I think I have one, but anyway, I can get a picture anytime I guess though. It's definitely not going anywhere. Haha. Nobody ever knows what it is either. It's not like most people really know who they are, but they had a profound impact on the way I listen to music.
Whoever was talking about Mono too, another great band.
A couple of updates......
http://www.chemikal.co.uk/
mogwai young team - uber remastered version with bonus tracks!!
it's been ten years - believe it or not - but the impressive power of mogwai's debut album has not been diminished with age. we've been talking to the band and felt that it was time to remaster the album, augment the liner notes and include some extra tracks (eight to be precise) to create an anniversary version of young team that would manage to improve on the original while offering you guys value for money. the release is pencilled in for april depending on how the mastering sessions go but keep your eyes peeled for full tracklistings in due course....
And from Mogwai's website......
http://www.mogwai.co.uk/
so that's us one week into our recording session with andy miller at chem 19 and i'm delighted to say that its going great. we'll also be announcing our first shows of 2008 in the next week or so. rock action is also preparing for a frenzy of activity too. the debut albums by errors and desalvo are currently getting finished up and we received the long awaited second record from james orr complex the other day too. i'm listening to it right now and its amazing. i also heard some new demos by part chimp and they are fantastic. aren't we lucky boys!
EXCITEMENT!

Cheers Larson! Yeah I first heard Mono playing in Tower Records here in Japan a couple of years ago. I was blown away & had to ask the staff who was playing. I remember the album being expensive & I didn't buy it (very unlike me!)
I was checking them out again a couple of weeks ago when I noticed that they're playing with Explosions In The Sky. They're on my list, I go for One More Step...
Pleased you liked the track MJ :)
Mono and Explosions in the sky! What a lineup, I saw Mono with High on Fire.... great show, really nice to get to two different bands like that on the same bill.
Here is a few more of my post rock suggestions
This Will Destroy You- Young Mountain EP
Sunn O)))/Boris - Altar
Caspian-You Are the Conductor
Mogwai-Come On Die Young (especially the build up to "Christmas Steps")
All things GSYB!E, Tra-La-La,Silver Mount Zion,One Speed Bike,etc
Hope you enjoy, has there been a "post-rock" entry to the forum yet?
It truly is the best headphone music for passing time on a plane.
"Any pictures of your tattoo Ellistransit?"
(http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d57/ellisintransit/mogwaitattoosmall.jpg)
My camera is long gone, but I finally found a picture. One of my favorite tats for sure. It's funny because people ask what it means, and when I tell them they are even more confused. I'm surprised by how few people know who they are.
Very, very cool tattoo!!! Thanks for posting ET :)
Everything in Mogwai's catalog is amazing, also one of the best live acts I've ever seen. X-Mas Steps and Helicon 1 are my favorites.
Unlike my usual buying habits, I bought Young Team when it first came out, loved it but didn't buy anything after that.
Shame on me...slowly catching up, have bought Rock Action (amazing!) Happy Songs for Happy People (amazing!) have Mr. Beast & Hawk on order.
Although I can't imagine anything will ever beat Fear Satan, I think I prefer Rock Action & Happy Songs to Young Team overall...
So, I just purchased Young Team...how have I made it this far without listening to these guys? I'm very disappointed in myself...Mogwai Fear Satan is KRUNK>>>>>>
QuoteSo, I just purchased Young Team...how have I made it this far without listening to these guys? I'm very disappointed in myself...Mogwai Fear Satan is KRUNK>>>>>>
Good man Easy Way! Yeah Fear Satan is just amazing! Did you get the new remastered/deluxe edition? The sound quality wasn't so good on original pressings of Young Team...the sound is way too quiet, which is kind of ironic when you consider they're one of the loudest bands playing live today.

Oh yeah...the remastered quality is killer. Of course I have no basis for comparison, but what I'm hearing right now is absolutely amazing.
Yeah I need to get that...I really resent buying the same CDs twice but what you gonna do? :(
I listened to this song for the first time about a month ago. I may or may not have drove customers out of the store with my fist-pumping.

It wasn't one of those High Fildelty moments where everyone asked who was playing & then bought the CD when you told them? I thought you worked in a cool record shop? ;)
Since MMJ cancelled their shows in Europe I'm going to see them again playing in Frankfurt. This time with another great Scottish band The Twilight Sad.. Seriously check them out! Great stuff!
Yeah, Mogwai became one of my favorite bands in the past months but I still need to buy Happy Songs..., Ten Rapid and the eps especially the My Father My King single.
Their new record is amazing but the DVD on the Limited Edition was really disappointing. I thought that the "Making of" on Mr Beast was really cool but this time the DVD is just disappointing. Also the artwork of the limited edition is nothing special.
Btw. are their any Oceansize fans here? Great band from Manchester, UK! Some people around here would love their sound!
Cheers Patches, I'll check out those other bands!
How do you rate the Mogwai albums/EPs that you have? Which is your fav?

Well, I have:
Young Team
Mr Beast
Come On Die Young
Zidane OST
The Hawk Is Howling
Rock Action
Hmm I don't have a real favorite one but there are some albums that get more spins e.g. Mr Beast and Rock Action. I love all the albums but I think that Zidane and CODY are quite inaccessible. But those albums still have some beautiful songs on it.

I really like that song....'Dry The Rain'
QuoteSince MMJ cancelled their shows in Europe I'm going to see them again playing in Frankfurt.
What are they like live? Must be good if you've seeing them again...they're in Tokyo early next year.
Do they play the songs pretty straight (like on their albums) or do they improvise/extend at all?

Well, they're really loud. It's the loudest band I've ever seen and they do play their songs live pretty straight. but it's a different experience than listening to one of their albums especially Mogwai Fear Satan...you have to feel the vibrations! ;)
you have to feel the vibrations! Wink
Quite literally. Just saw Mogwai end of last month in Manchester UK.
Never felt the bass and kick drum pound into my body like that before.
Encore - Mogwai fear satan followed by Batcat. Astounding.
QuoteAND I'VE SEEN THEM PLAYING THIS SONG LIVE!! ;)
..me too and it was incredible, Mogwai was probably one of my favorite shows I went to this year...
Tonight! :)
I'm so excited! I hope they play Hunted By a Freak!
Have a good one Patches, please tell us about it when you get back [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
QuoteHave a good one Patches, please tell us about it when you get back [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Thanks man! :)
There's a good article about them in this month's MOJO...I had no idea that Teenage Fanclub's Brendan O'Hare was their drummer for a while...
WOW! What an evening! Amazing concert I enjoyed bnoth bands but te sound during the Twilight Sad gig was not clear enough. The voice was a bit difficult to understand but still a great show.
The setlist was something like this:
The Precipice
Friend of The Night
Scotland's Shame
Cody
Tracy
I Love You I'm Going To Blow Up Your School
Ex-Cowboy
I'm Jim Morisson, I'm Dead
Helicon I
I Know You Are But What Am I?
LIKE HEROD
Batcat
----------
Hunted By A Freak
We're No Here
"Noise"
This time no Satan but the new Songs work very well especially Batcat and The Precipice (!!). But my highlight of the evening was Like Herod. Holy shit I was standing right in front of Stuart and the Sound (especially the bass) almost blew my cap off the head. It was Loud as hell!
Go and see them!
Cheers Patches! Pleased you had a good time!
I saw the setlist for a recent London show & there was no Satan then...I wonder if they've grown tired of it & have taken it out of the loop for this tour?
Played Mr. Beast for the first time over the weekend - love it!
I can't believe I bought Young Team when it first came but nothing after that until now. Rock Action, Music For...& Mr. Beast, they're all excellent + I've got Hawk on order...

I listened to Mr Beast a lot when I read "Angela's Ashes". It fitted perfectly especially "Friend of the Night".
QuoteDon't forget CODY...
I read that CODY is their only sub-par release, or at least, one the one that divides opinions the most...have I been mislead?

I was started reading Backroads by Tawni O'Dell @ the same time as I bought At Dawn, fitted perfectly.
I love it when that happens.

My recommendation: "Into The Wild" + Grizzly Bear's "Yellow House"! ;)
You'll definitely need some time to get into CODY....I don't know how to describe the album in English... :-/ But it's definitely different to the other ones. You have mostly clean guitars and repeating riffs. The album might sound really boring to some people.
I love Christmas Steps!
Bump...because The Hawk Is Howling was one of the best albums of 2008 & I'm not sure if enough of chu ediots own it:
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdpIvA2Ox8w[/media]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdpIvA2Ox8w
"I'm Jim Morrison, I'm Dead" opens the album with shades of Mr. Beast's sparkling beauty, but it uses every second of its nearly seven minutes to more climactic effect than the previous album's subdued approach: beginning with intertwining pianos and keyboards, it teeters on the edge between beautiful and ominous, ratcheting up the tension until the song finally dies out with a violin that bleeds into feedback.
& where is Patches? & Chills? & Mr. T? :'(
Yep. It was on my best of list for '08
