Best Mogwai album(s)? 09:45 - Apr 18 with 887 viewsunbelievablue

I've never truly got into them before but I enjoy their music - haunting and beautiful (on TV soundtracks and the like).

I'm a big Explosions In The Sky fan but I've overdone them recently. I've always found that this kind of instrumental tunage is excellent for concentrating on work, and god knows I've a lot of work to do today (yes yes I know, I should log off TWTD...).

Alternatively, recommendations of other bands of this ilk would be grand.

My favourite of theirs would be Happy Songs for Happy People but tbh any album of theirs is decent. Great band.

The Zidane film is a good watch if you like their music (and football).

They released a three CD compilation of their best work in 2015 called Central Belters, it's representative of their albums to that date, with some rarities thrown in. I like not working to air most.

I've always really liked The Hawk is Howling.

Never got Explosions in the Sky, just find them a bit dull.

Will have a think on similar stuff to recommend.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

Some of the tracks on 'The Hawk is Howling' just build and build like nothing else I have heard - and then unfold into an expression of unknowable terror. Why do I like listening to stuff like that?

One of my favourites of theirs is the soundtrack they did for The Returned (Les Revenants), but all of their stuff is good to be honest.

Rave Tapes is a stand out recent release, great album. Of the older stuff I'd say Happy Songs For Happy People.

That's how I got into them. I love that show (or at least the first series).

Godspeed You ! Black Emperor are indeed truly magnificent as are Mogwai. Slint were doing this sort of thing before the pair of them but I'm not all that aquainted with them.

Both good calls.

Also blue oysters suggestion. If you've not seen it, watch the Zidane film they did the soundtrack for, it's genius.

Trailing vapour since 1999.
