Listening to the song Cody. What a trip! Something really sad and meloncholy about this song.

I would like to get into Mogwai. What's a good place to start?

I saw Mogwai w/ The Cure a few years back... they were fucking beautiful... I love all of their albums.

they are the type of band where there is no, "you must own this album before you buy any other release".

They are instrumental. I have been on a major Explosions in the Sky kick recently, so moving onto another instrumental band seemed logical.

I have been digging the album Come On Die Young and Rock Action.

Yeah, Mogwai is what launched me into the whole instrumental, ambient, epic music...although Mogwai isn't exactly that. I was fortunate enough to catch there SLC show back in May and it was well worth it. As for a starting point, I would recommend Mr. Beast.

Mogwai could definitely be called a preferred or acquired taste band, and I picked up Mr. Beast without any knowledge or notion of them. I really had no major idea of what they were going to sound like except for the song Auto-Rock.

BTW, Explosions kicks some serious ass.

I've only heard a few of their songs but I like them, they're pretty good
