I've come pretty late to the party but really got into Mogwai recently. I've got their 9 studio albums but wondering whether people could recommend what 5 releases I should get next? I'm also wondering if I'm the only fan who's favourite is The Eagle is Howling?!

Hawk Is Howling is pretty much my favourite Mogwai album.
In my opinion, your next move should be the soundtracks or some of the early EPs.
Zidane Atomic Les Revenants Mogwai:EP, 4 Satin (or the EP + 6 compilation)
Mogwai have buried some fantastic tracks on single b-sides over the years. Have you got Ten Rapid, the early singles compilation?

Thank you. That's really helpful. I was thinking ep+6 and Atomic next. I've only got the 9 studio albums nothing else yet. Wondering if the bbc sessions were worth getting too?

If you've got all the studio albums, I would suggest EP+6 and perhaps Special Moves next.

I'm also wondering if I'm the only fan who's favourite is The Eagle is Howling?! Hello and welcome to the forum! Better late than never, I only got into Mogwai around 'Hardcore.........' but haven't looked back, they're an amazing band. 'The Hawk Is Howling' is probably my favourite too so you're not on your own there. My 5 other releases to check out would probably be; Les RevenantsGovernment CommissionsSpecial Moves (Recorded during the 'Hawk....' tour I think so it's got quite a few tracks from that album on it. Also see if you can get hold of the version with the 6 additional tracks. The version of 'Yes! I Am A Long Way From Home' is amazing.) Earth DivisionZidaneEnjoy!

Thanks so much for the recommendations. Really helpful. I'm guessing I'm going to end up getting all their stuff as it's so so good.
