I thought it was strange that, on my copy, the fourth track wasn't listed, but I guess that track is actually "Stereodee."

Sorry, no, I don't have it.
― Sickamous Mouthall (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 11:20 (fifteen years ago) link
the US version had four tracks, but kept the same tracklist as the UK, if that makes any sense
Right! I was wondering if it was just a change of name ... didn't realise it actually had an extra track.
Bugger, I really want to hear this now. If anyone *does* have it ...

hey, if I can track it down, maybe I'll post it. It is one of my favorite tracks of theirs & has a killer bassline & is as close to actual metal as I've heard them sound, regardless of the lack of vox (I tend to like Mogwai best in opposite extremes: total rocking out or droney & ambient).

If noone serves it up based on this exchange, I'll rip it when I visit my parents next week. Much of my CD collection is in boxes in their attic.

That'd be magic: I really don't think I've ever heard it (I've just been through my not-very-impressive Mogwai rarities folder) and yeh, metal-Mogwai is invariably a good thing.
Someone else out there must have it, though ... surely?

Yeh, I think there was some talk about this on the Scottish Bands thread, too. Looks fucking ace.
I listened to The Hawk Is Howling yesterday for the first time in ages. While I still maintain they've not made a studio album yet that's really representative of their genius, this one really isn't that far off ...

those tracklists are pretty ideal. would only ask for 'kids will be skeletons' or 'ratts of the capital' in addition. but yeah, definitive. i'll probably be getting this on the strength of the song-choices

This isn't exactly the first live album, is it? I mean, "Government Commissions" was a Peel Sessions disc, which was pretty live. And yes that tracklist looks solid and could be improved only by "My Father, My King".

----
1. Punk Rock2. CODY3. Helps Both Ways4. Y2K Non-Compliant Cardia5. May Nothing But Happiness Come Through Your Door-6. Oh! How The Dogs Stack Up7. Ex-Cowboy8. Chocky9. the last 3 minutes of Christmas Steps w/ Luke Sutherland on violin and Iggy Pop's speech overlaid backwards
^^^awesome albumz

btw I don't think it would be hard to get a segue from the noise-out at the end of Chocky into the guitar figure that concludes CS (as soon as the drums cut out, is when I would pick it up)

Shamefully, having a) grown up in Scotland and b) been into Mogwai since around 1999/2000, the Perth show at the end of the month will be my first time ever seeing them live. At least it's in my hometown, right? The 16 year old me would have exploded. May have a ticket for the Feb Edinburgh show too, which would help work on the total.
― MichaelJLambert, Tuesday, 4 January 2011 22:13 (thirteen years ago) link
I dig their name, I dig their song titles, I dig their album covers and titles. But there's nothing *very* captivating about the band where I feel I have to amass multiple albums. It's unfortuante that in the sort of post-rock realm that if something touches upon being visual, it's given the OK to be recorded. I try looking for a hook but then realize there isn't supposed to be one, and really that's sort of where the subgenre fails: I usually have a hard time differentiating album to album, song to song.
