Can anyone recommend an artist similar to Mogwai. I've tried using sites like Pandora but they're shite.
I prefer Happy Songs for Happy People as an album to the others.
Something fairly relaxed, probably not to many strings either, vocals or no vocals. Just need some new chill-out stuff.
Help please. Thanks

i thought happy songs was a generally tense or intense album, with some relaxing songs in between as breathers.
try the album & Yet & Yet by Do Make Say Think, or their most recent album, You, You're a History in Rust.

Piano Magic feel similar to me, but with more vocals. Great mood music.

It is intense in places, but it has beautiful moments too and thats what i'm after (beatiful tracks).
Although their best track is of course- Auto Rock. I've cried many times listening to this. (also makes an excellent song to use as an early morning wake up call)

mr. beast is actually my favourite album by them since it's the loudest, yet my favourite mogwai song is tracy off young team.

Stuart Braithwaite is a bit of a twat but Mogwai make lovelY lovely music. I can only recommend 65DAYSOFSTATIC, ISIS, EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY, GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR, THEE SILVER MOUNT ZION or PELICAN.

mr beast was very bad, but the zidane soundtrack was great, mogwai are so hit or miss -
earth - hex is mogwai-like
however its got a southern USA slide guitar thing to it thats definetly an acquired taste, but otherwise its a classic album

mr. beast is their best album since young team. i thought zidane was very bland and came off as cody b-sides.
oh baby baby it's a wild world.

in no way am i saying that it was a bad album, i just didnt get into it, i remember being able to get into one track, i think glasgow snake or whatever, but it just was too aggressive for me - i like mogwai best when they take their time with stuff.
my favorite album by them is cody, and rock action/myfather my king era stuff.

yeah, they have two very distinctive styles: loud and not loud. i like the not loud stuff when it's pretty but not when it's droning.
well, generally i like it all. big fan 'ere.
