but I think the new one 'Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!' is amazing. I also have Murder Ballads, which is so haunting and brilliant. I've just ordered Tender Prey and Let Love In too, think Tender Prey is often considered one of his best.

I think "No More Shall We Part" is the best, but you can't go wrong with any of these:
Let Love In
Abbatoir Blues/Lyre Of Orpheus
Tender Prey
The Boatman's Call
Henry's Dream
Murder Ballads

Tender Prey
Henry's Dream
Let Love In

thanks for all the replys. really i would like to know what I should get out of:
Tender Prey
Murder Ballads
Boatman's Call

awesome.

by the way, where should i start with Mogwai.....

...for many years, I finally got into him with the best of which came out about ten years ago. And after that it all sort of clicked into place. Devoured the rest of the albums. Of which the best, to my cloth ears are:-

The Boatmans Call
No More Shall We Part
Let Love In

Murser Ballads would probably give Darth Vader nightmares. But it's very good. And not without a wry humour running through it.

I'll just give a shout out to Abattoir Blues because it looks as if nobody has yet.

other than that: the boatman's call gets my vote

in the last two months.

The answer is From Her to Eternity.
