Kicking a Dead Pig is a remix album from Scottish band Mogwai consisting of remixes of previously released tracks (primarily from Young Team) by various artists, including Alec Empire, My Bloody Valentine, and Max Tundra.
The album was originally released in 1998 on the label Eye-Q, who shortly went bust. The album then became relatively hard to find, until "the master tapes mysteriously appeared on Chemikal Underground's doorstep". The album was then re-released on the Chemikal Underground label in 2001, with an additional two tracks forming the basis for a second CD of Mogwai Fear Satan remixes, from My Bloody Valentine, and μ-Ziq.
In 1998, the album was licensed by Eye-Q to the now defunct label, Jetset. The version Jetset released contained all of the Mogwai Fear Satan remixes on a second disc.
This track list corresponds to the 1998 double CD release. Single CD and double/triple vinyl releases also exist.
