Great EP, I remember listening to this when it was released. Fantastic and somewhat forgotten.

[@johnbabrick]

Imagine me driving at night from Grand Rapids Michigan through Buffalo New York overnight to a desperate low paying job in Syracuse New York... cheap dirty hotel to stay in... listening to this for the first time... in the rain... int the dark...

@@forrestgarcia9592 No... sadly I died 12 years ago. My body fell in the back of an unused janitors closet and hasn't been found yet.

Questo pezzo è un viaggio negli abissi dell'anima. Una discesa costante, calma e consapevole nell'oscurità alla ricerca di una fiammella di luce intanata nel buio. Rigenerante. l brano più profondo ed introspettivo dei Mogwai insieme a Tracy, Friends of the Night ed a pochi altri capolavori

[@steveparadox1]

Im 41. I feel 16 again listening to this. 🥹

[@bencolemanart]

I bought this the week it came out (on CD for maximum cred) in my 18th year, and I liked it. It always makes me think of being outdoors, in back gardens, on cool but pleasant nights. After Helicon it was an unexpected departure, but I loved the drum machine from the off, and when I shortly after discovered Arab Strap, I could hear their influence on this tune.

Quite good he said, it's a masterpiece. Mogwai does not make music like this anymore :| Superheroes of BMX forever in my heart.

[@marcosrojas238]

A masterpiece!

[@SunGhostify]

This, my friends, is the real music.

[@JODIDO84]

Early Mogwai...But I do love this song...Will go seeing them playing live in Nîmes at the end of March 2014. Saw them twice before : in Barcelona in May 2003, under some heavy rains, and in July 2011 at a music festival in Aix Les Bains (France).

Masterpiece

[@mondoprime]

Used to play Black & White and listen to this. Winning combination.

[@ricksoriancout9193]

The soft cadence that is becoming dense, turbulent.

[@georgezsebe9794]

Thank you for sharing this EP! ^_^

[@kliveevil]

there was a time (late ‘90s) when mogwai was in the independent music(alternative) exactly what diego armando maradona for football fans. Deep , cerebral, and genius playing …

[@musicforgaming675]

Amazingly ethereal from a 4-piece band!

[@arhale09]

And they were all like 19 yrs old when this was recorded. It's obviously not an every day song, but as a statement, its fvcking phenomenal.

[@steveparadox1]

great video to a tune i rember well!

[@thingsmake]

Isn’t this the old iTunes visualiser?

[@james2450]

This is probably my dream Mogwai track to hear live. It opens this recording from their 2015 Roundhouse show, and it sounds fucking fantastic! kzbin.info/www/bejne/npSvi2WOh9OnrdU

[@abdelhamidelaasri5645]

JUST DISCOVER IN 2020 ONE OF THE BEST TRACK IN THE WORLD

[@Psyfi85]

Crazy this was recorded in ‘97. These guys are the real deal.

[@insideout277]

Agreed 🌪

[@danthompson8433]

"Paradoxically challenged" "Nutman"

[@xavierpaquin]

Quite good for such early stuff, thanks for the discovery

[@BetaChri5]

pretty transcendental ngl

[@EwigesEis]

What does the song's name refer to?

[@TheMillerman95]

Most Mogwai songs are random titles, though some such as 'You're Lionel Richie' is what Stuart Braithwaite of the band said when seeing Richie in an airport, but there is rarely a connection between the title and the track it belongs to, as is the case here.

[@johnyp2967]

2018?

[@georgepoulios9451]

2000

[@ibelieveicansoar]

I’m glad you asked. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018 - “2018 (MMXVIII) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2018th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 18th year of the 3rd millennium, the 18th year of the 21st century, and the 9th year of the 2010s decade.”

[@justice1337lelz]

amazing track, reminds me a lot to Compliments by Bloc Party

[@seanmccannwildcamping]

Funny enough, Superheroes of BMX was one of the band names Bloc Party originally had for their name

[@danthompson8433]
