"EP+6" is a compilation album by Scottish post-rock group Mogwai, released in Japan in 2000 through Toy's Factory, and later in the UK in 2001 through Chemikal Underground.

Overview

"EP+6" brings together all three of Mogwai's previous EPs: 1997's "4 Satin", 1998's "No Education = No Future (Fuck the Curfew)", and 1999's "EP", in a Remastered and Enhanced CD, featuring the music video for "Stanley Kubrick". The Japanese version also included a music video for "Xmas Steps", whilst the UK version included a Screensaver, images of Mogwai, and reviews. The cover of "EP+6" is similar to the cover of "EP", as they both feature the same image, a movie still entitled "Watertower" by Scottish photographer Neale Smith, [ [http://www.flickr.com/photos/nealesmithphotography/903510986/in/set-72157601015319730/ "Watertower"] on Flickr] of a Water tower in East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, Scotland.
