Matador Discography
Produced by longtime associate Tony Doogan and Mogwai at Castle Of Doom Studio, Mr. Beast is nothing short of a milestone in Mogwai’s storied tenure. Though there are still hints aplenty of the subtle beauty that adorned big chuncks of “Rock Action” and “Happy Songs For Happy People”, there are an equal portion of headcrushers on this one that will leave you gasping for air. Particularly if you’ve been wearing a plastic bag over your face. Tracklisting 1. Auto Rock 2. Glasgow Mega Snake 3. Acid Food 4. Travel Is Dangerous 5. Team Handed 6. Friend of the Night 7. Emergency Trap 8. Folk Death 95 Listen 9. I Chose Horses 10. We're No Here
This limited version of the new Mogwai album comes in that swank hardbound cover (It's like the official Glasgow) with a DVD featuring a documentary on the making of Mr. Beast. Produced by longtime associate Tony Doogan and Mogwai at Castle Of Doom Studio, Mr. Beast is nothing short of a milestone in Mogwai’s storied tenure. Though there are still hints aplenty of the subtle beauty that adorned big chuncks of “Rock Action” and “Happy Songs For Happy People”, there are an equal portion of headcrushers on this one that will leave you gasping for air. Particularly if you’ve been wearing a plastic bag over your face (which we do not recommend, by the way).
Over the past 8 years, Mogwai have recorded 5 sessions for the legendary BBC John Peel and Steve Lemacq shows. This handsome CD packages all of them for the serious Mogwai fan. In gorgeous sound quality, Government Commissions provides alternate studio recordings of Mogwai’s ‘greatest hits.’
The fourth album from Glasgow's kings of glowering, volatile quasi-instrumental rock is more subtle and nuanced than their previous work, compositionally beautiful but intense and trance-inducing at the same time. From the prominent keyboard rush of "The Kids Will Be Skeletons" to the glittering harmonics of the monumental "Ratts Of The Capital", 'Happy Songs For Happy People' traces paths of heavy concentration. It’s a massive evolution from the soft-loud-soft-loud explosions of their early work. Tracklisting 1.Hunted By a Freak 2.Moses? I Amn't 3.Kids Will Be Skeletons 4.Killing All the Flies 5.Boring Machines Disturbs Sleep 6.Ratts of the Capital 7.Golden Porsche 8.I Know You Are But What Am I? 9.Stop Coming to My House
"Continuing the direction of their bestselling EP +2, the five gentlemen from Glasgow return with their first album from 1999. This time, they have ignored the rulebook and rewritten rock history in their own image. Drama, finesse and vocals and a broader instrumental palate give this triumphant album a sweeping, epochal feel. " Tracklisting 1.Sine Wave 2.Take Me Somewhere Nice 3.O I Sleep 4.Dial: Revenge 5.You Don't Know Jesus 6.Robot Chant 7.2 Rights Make 1 Wrong 8.Secret Pint
