The debut album by Scottish band Mogwai, Young Team was released in 1997.  When I think about that, the year this album was released, I think about what I was doing that year.  Obviously it was not listening to this album, because I think it would've changed my life.  This is such a fantastic record that if I listened to it in 1997, I'd probably have a different outlook on a lot of things.  Growing up, I was introduced to a variety of music and post rock was not one of them.  Music that makes me relax and not think about the obvious is always a score in my book.  What I liked most about this album is the flute in Mogwai Fear Satan.  Me, being an ex band member and playing the flute makes me appreciate when I hear the flute on tracks.  It's almost like a connection I have with the song.  Ahhhh, yes, thinking about the younger years.  Truth be told, I enjoy my musical knowledge, from the little bit that I know, but I am thankful for that.

Enjoy!
