Description
• MOGWAI - Young Team (Chemikal Underground Records - twa07cd)
• Original U.S. Stereo Pressing double LP
• Etched stamped matrix numbers in the deadwax area of each side of both disks.
• Red labels with minimal black & white text (see pics)
• I GRADE THE VINYL (both disks) AS EXC. The LP's have a few light superficial abrasions (mainly sleeve marks) ARE VISIBLE, but they appear fairly insignificant relative to the overall condition of the vinyl, and are not visually distracting. For the most part, the vinyl (both disks) looks impeccable, without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. The original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.
• (The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!)
• The cover is in VG++ condition. Original cardboard cover (American style). Extremely minor shelf ware is slightly visible upon close inspection but DOES NOT compromise the overall integrity of the cover. One corner is slightly bumped (see pics). The spine is in great condition. There are:
• NO seam-splits
• NO clipped corners
• NO saw-marks
• NO promo holes
• NO writing
• NO peel offs
• NO water damage
• NO discoloring
• NO mold or mildew
• NO stickers or labels
• The graphics and extremely sharp and vivid.
• DO NOT let this opportunity pass you by.
• Young Team, Mogwai's first full-length album fulfills the promise of their early singles and EPs, offering a complex, intertwining set of crawling instrumentals, shimmering soundscapes, and shards of noise. Picking up where Ten Rapid left off, Mogwai use the sheer length of an album to their advantage, recording a series of songs that meld together -- it's easy to forget where one song begins and the other ends. The record itself takes its time to begin, as the sound of chiming processed guitars and murmured sampled vocals floats to the surface. Throughout the album, the sound of the band keeps shifting, and it's not just through explosions of noise -- Mogwai isn't merely jamming, they have a planned vision, subtly texturing their music with small, telling details. When the epic "Mogwai Fears Satan" draws the album to a close, it becomes clear that the band has expanded the horizons of post-rock, creating a record of sonic invention and emotional force that sounds unlike anything their guitar-based contemporaries have created.
