Seminal Scottish post-rock outfit Mogwai suffer under the same blight as many bands that enjoy early success: unbeatable first album syndrome.

Debut album Young Team was released way back in 1997, and its distortion-heavy loud-soft contrasts were so lauded that it remains peerless in the minds of many fans.

This EP leads with a fine track from their latest album, Mr Beast, and it is as gloriously downcast a wall of noise as Mogwai have ever made.

Two decent remixes aside, the biggest surprise is the two live recordings on the end.

Like Herod, an epic from the Young Team days, feels a little tired and expected, whereas We're No Here, taken from Mr Beast, has all of the quality and feels so much more alive.

Nine-year old albums be damned: Mogwai are still the best in class.
