Release Notes:
--------
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...
