Mogwai – Ten Rapid (Collected Recordings 1996-1997) (Vinyl)

If you queued for hours only to miss out on the Record Store Day version of this then now is the time to rejoice. Rock Action have re-pressed Mogwai's early singles collection Ten Rapid.

The album shows the nascent band exploring a more spindly but equally creative and wonderfully atmospheric version of their later heavyweight quiet/loud sound and is essential listening if you want to find out where it all began.

First released in 1997, Ten Rapid (Collected Recordings 1996-1997) compiles Mogwai's early singles, B-sides, and rarities. Critics consider it an essential snapshot of the Scottish post-rock pioneers, capturing a raw, dynamic sound that alternates between melancholic melodies and ripping walls of noise. Originally released as a double 10" Ten Rapid is now reissued as a single album.
