Overview
No Education = No Future (Fuck the Curfew) is Mogwai's second EP. It features three tracks, "Xmas Steps", "Rollerball" (both recorded at CaVa Studios in Glasgow, Scotland and produced by Geoff Allan in April 1998), and "Small Children in the Background" (recorded at Chem19 Studios in Hamilton, Scotland and produced by Andy Miller in May 1998). The curfew mentioned in the title of the EP refers to a curfew which was imposed upon all under-16s in Lanarkshire, Scotland, which made it illegal for them to be out after 9pm. The promo for the EP originally featured the song "Helps Both Ways" (also recorded at CaVa Studios and produced by Geoff Allan), which sampled American football coach John Madden without permission, so consequently, the song was replaced by "Small Children in the Background" on the actual EP. A re-recording of "Helps Both Ways" later appeared on the 1999 album, Come On Die Young. A re-recorded version of "Xmas Steps", entitled "Christmas Steps", also appears on Come On Die Young. All three tracks on the EP later appeared on the 2000 compilation album, EP+6.
