Mogwai to release retrospective box set; watch 'Helicon 1' video

Scottish post rockers Mogwai announced the upcoming release of a career spanning box set to celebrate their 20th anniversary. The box set of hits and rarities will be available as a three-CD or six-LP collection and it's due out on October 9 via Mogwai’s own Rock Action Records; it will be called "Central Belters".

The band also the video for an 18-year-old non-album single (and opening track to "Central Belters"): "Helicon 1", aka "New Paths to Helicon, Pt. 1". Originally released in 1997, the song is now accompanied by a clip directed by Craig Murray who explained:

The film you see is made from 100% 35mm stills which I shot off the screen. I used about 100+ rolls which were all individually scanned. All effects you see in the film are physical workings of the negatives (scanner compositing, scratching, liquids etc).
