Young Team (Deluxe Edition)
While Slint are usually hailed as the fathers of post-rock, Mogwai undoubtedly redefined the genre, inspiring an entire generation of followers and copyists, but the original article remain unsurpassed and definitive in their particular field. In 1997, alongside the singles compilation Ten Rapid, Mogwai released Young Team to a torrent of critical praise despite the band's own less than conclusively positive views on the record. To this day, the melodies, the quiet-loud dynamic, and above all the sheer sense of thinly veiled rage stick in the mind, introducing so many kids to another way of thinking about the guitar, and for that matter, what a rock band could be. 'Like Herod' remains one of the most powerful instrumentals in the whole of nineties rock music, its out-of-nowhere blast of noise a few minutes in sounding as terrifying as it does revelatory. Befitting such a perennially magnificent record, this reissue finds the album entirely remastered, supplied with new liner notes and, most importantly, combined with a new nine-track bonus disc, drawing together BBC sessions, live recordings and other such rarities. Still so, so brilliant after all these years...
