antony crook is the photographer whose work appears on the cover of mogwai's 'hardcore will never die, but you will' album. 'thirty century man' follows round-the-world champion cyclist james bowthorpe cycling around norway.

deadcat motorbike

stuart played guitar in deadcat motorbike, prior to forming mogwai in 1995.
credited as 'mogwai demos 95', the following tracks surfaced on dimeadozen in september 2005. they're all deadcat motorbike demos except 'summer', which is a very early demo of the mogwai song. this version of 'summer' also was used on mogwai's split tour single with urusei yatsura, 1996.

most of the tracks have vocals. there's a very obvious tension in the band about direction, as 'sistergod' is almost slowcore and doesn't sit well against the preceeding raucous cover of 'runaway'. worth noting that, as well as 'runaway', deadcat motorbike's repertoire included the 'happy days' theme song.

demo review from the list:
"deadcat motorbike, as you may surmise from the name, wouldn't be seen dead anywhere near a laura ashley outlet. this is a brash guitars-r-us band, alternating squealing riffs with moshed up drum batteries, the entire mixture shot through with a complete disregard for any sort of decent production which makes for rather difficult listening at times. catch them at a seedy rock 'n' roll hole near you for teenage kicks and guitar licks." (jonathan trew)

stratospheric love hippies/psychocat
'the rock project' - various artists [strac strac007] ??/??/95 stratospheric love hippies - 'psychedelic paradise' psychocat - 'freedom'

stuart's school band, as featured on a compilation tape made in 1990 and 'resurfacing' in june 2008. stuart appears twice, firstly in a band called 'stratospheric love hippies' performing 'psychedelic paradise', and then in 'psychocat' performing 'freedom'. the personnel appears to be the same for both bands - stuart braithwaite, craig wallace, david blacoe and william hamilton.

the recording, production and mixing was done by strac recordings, a record company set up by strathaven academy secondary school in south lanarkshire, scotland. victoria, stuart's older sister , is amongst the recording engineers.

from mark burns, who 'found' the tape:

i was at my parents house yesterday sorting through some old cds/records/cassettes, when i found a cassette tucked away which contained stuart braithwaite's first recorded output. both my sisters (my eldest sister babysat him a couple of times!) and i went to school with stuart you see, and the cassette was a school project containing 9 or 10 songs performed by various high school bands. it was called 'the strathaven academy rock project'. lo and behold, one of the bands was mr braithwaite's. it was cool to suddenly find a giant of post-rock's first release, he would have been about 14 or 15 at the time!

luke sutherland

mogwai had agreed to collaborate with luke sutherland [the violinist on 'xmas steps'] on a 'spoken word' ep. personnel changes at too pure, luke's record label, caused this to be cancelled, and the ep was released in april 2001 without any contribution from mogwai
