‘Central Belters‘ è un album insolito: si tratta di una compilation della band post-rock Mogwai e offre una retrospettiva sulla carriera di questo gruppo nell’anno in cui festeggia il suo ventesimo compleanno.
L’album contiene i punti più alti della carriera di questa band, inoltre vi sono compresi alcuni singoli che non sono mai stati inclusi negli album e alcune rarità.
Il titolo fa riferimento alla ‘Central Belt’ della Scozia, da dove provengono geograficamente e culturalmente i Mogwai.
