Led by singer-guitarist Gruff Rhys (and featuring actor Rhys Ifans on lead vocals during an earlier incarnation of the band), the five-piece were at the forefront of what many referred to as the renaissance of Welsh culture in the 90s.<\/p>\n<p>While <strong>Oasis<\/strong> and <strong>Blur<\/strong> were <strong>battling it out over the soul of Britpop<\/strong>, Super Furry Animals were letting the children bicker and went about doing their thing \u2013 a delirious mix of strange pop, psychedelic rock and experimental panache which couldn\u2019t have been more in contrast to then-current music trends.<\/p>\n<p>Over the course of nine studio albums, from 1996\u2019s \u2018Fuzzy Logic\u2019 (following their debut EP &#8216;Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllantysiliogogogochynygofod (In Space)&#8217;) to 2000\u2019s \u2018Mwng\u2019 (their only album to have lyrics written entirely in the Welsh language) and their last album to date, 2009\u2019s \u2018Dark Days \/ Light Years\u2019, SFA have shown that they are one of the most ambitious, imaginative and genre-bending indie bands out there.<\/p>\n<p>In case you were wondering, &#8216;Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllantysiliogogogochynygofod&#8217; was an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for longest EP title. It reportedly translates to &#8220;naughty smoke&#8221; &#8211; a reference to cannabis.<\/p>\n<p>This month, Super Furry Animals have released \u2018Precreation Percolation\u2019, a collection of rarities, B-sides and demos. We\u2019d be lying to you if we said it was a good starting point if you\u2019re not familiar with the band. It\u2019s a lengthy beast of a record which will delight die-hard fans looking to explore the band&#8217;s formative years. However, it could alienate those seeking a way in.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, here\u2019s our lookback at the band\u2019s innovative and oft underestimated oeuvre \u2013 a ranked Top 5 beginner&#8217;s guide to get you started.<\/p>\n<p>Here we go \u2013 sorry, dyma ni&#8217;n mynd&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Rings Around The World (2001)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-xlarge widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"1\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/74\/72\/22\/606x606_cmsv2_e3cc369e-0f06-53d3-8da5-44c4d9f3fabc-9747222.jpg\" alt=\"Rings Around The World\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Rings Around The World<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Epic<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s worth saying that the first three albums in this ranking are pretty much interchangeable. However, tough decisions had to be made, and the top spot goes to &#8216;Rings Around The World&#8217;, SFA\u2019s fifth studio album. Arguably their most polished offering, the LP is also the band at their most eclectic. It features prog-rock psychedelia, radio-friendly hits and the perfect combination of experimental production and immediately accessible melodies. There are too many good tracks to select as obvious standouts. From \u2018(Drawing) Rings Around The World\u2019, \u2018It\u2019s Not The End Of The World\u2019 to \u2018Juxtapozed With U\u2019 and \u2018Run!

It\u2019s also the best entry point in the Super Furry Animals\u2019 discography, as well as an essential record for any fan of alternative rock. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to:<\/strong> Tough one, but try \u2018Juxtapozed With U\u2019.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-youtube-embed\nwidget--size-fullwidth\nwidget--align-center\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n<div class=\"auto widget__ratio widget__ratio--16x9\">\n        <iframe type=\"text\/html\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ElrcgeS78fw\" width=\"100%\" loading=\"lazy\" frameborder webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen seamless><\/iframe>\n      <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Fuzzy Logic (1996)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-xlarge widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.9950248756218906\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/74\/72\/22\/606x606_cmsv2_b1584b4d-1b3f-5894-944d-c357ff40483b-9747222.jpg\" alt=\"Fuzzy Logic\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Fuzzy Logic<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Creation<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Another tricky call for the second spot, but there\u2019s no use denying the gloriously quirky mission statement that is the Furries\u2019 debut album, \u2018Fuzzy Logic\u2019. Plus, it turns 30 this year! Straight out of the gate, the band showed that they weren\u2019t interested in established Britpop sounds, and they knew exactly what they were doing in terms of glam rock infused psychedelia. Standouts include \u2018God! Show Me Magic\u2019, the wonderful \u2018If You Don\u2019t Want Me To Destroy You\u2019, the Beach Boys reminiscent \u2018Bad Behaviour\u2019, and their Top 20 hit \u2018Something 4 The Weekend\u2019. And in case you were curious about that album cover, it\u2019s a series of polaroid shots of Welsh drug smuggler, folk hero and drug legislation campaigner Howard Marks. We obviously don\u2019t advocate for the excessive use of the devil\u2019s cabbage, but safe to say that this is a solid soundtrack for those kind of evenings. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to:<\/strong> \u2018Something 4 The Weekend\u2019 and its swoon-worthy chorus.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-youtube-embed\nwidget--size-fullwidth\nwidget--align-center\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n<div class=\"auto widget__ratio widget__ratio--16x9\">\n        <iframe type=\"text\/html\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D1QyO4TkWts\" width=\"100%\" loading=\"lazy\" frameborder webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen seamless><\/iframe>\n      <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Radiator (1997)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-xlarge widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"1\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/74\/72\/22\/606x606_cmsv2_602419fd-eb52-5281-929b-3e7f401b1791-9747222.jpg\" alt=\"Radiator\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Radiator<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Creation<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It really was a toss-up between \u2018Radiator\u2019 and \u2018Fuzzy Logic\u2019 in terms of ranking, as SFA\u2019s second studio album is undeniably a more refined and creative offering.

It also contains the band\u2019s greatest closing song, \u2018Slow Life\u2019. So, what about the middle section? A selection of tuneful, mellow, at times transcendent songs which are the perfect antidote to dark times. So why so low on the list? Probably because &#8216;Phantom Power&#8217;, in many ways, feels like a Greatest Hits of sorts, combining elements from their previous five albums and polishing the merger. Nothing wrong with that, but it does lack a sense of surprise for those familiar with their work. Still, a cracking record. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to:<\/strong> \u2018Golden Retriever\u2019 &#8211; an absolute gem.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-youtube-embed\nwidget--size-fullwidth\nwidget--align-center\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n<div class=\"auto widget__ratio widget__ratio--16x9\">\n        <iframe type=\"text\/html\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GNB3WWkNVhM\" width=\"100%\" loading=\"lazy\" frameborder webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen seamless><\/iframe>\n      <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Guerrilla (1999)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-xlarge widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"1\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/74\/72\/22\/606x606_cmsv2_fecdb200-8b38-557f-b0b9-71c9a5cb9b7b-9747222.jpg\" alt=\"Guerrilla\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Guerrilla<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Creation<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8216;Guerrilla&#8217; was something of a turning point for the Furries.

They experimented with a sampler and introduced more danceable &#8211; techno, even &#8211; sounds to their brand of psychedelic pop. The lead single \u2018Northern Lites\u2019 and its calypso horns and steel drums exemplify the positive sound of \u2018Guerrilla\u2019, while \u2018Do Or Die\u2019 is colourfully daft rock perfection in just two minutes.

will\u00a0wander\u00a0to Bonnie Tyler and Tom Jones. Connoisseurs will mention\u00a0Manic Street Preachers, Feeder, Funeral For A\u00a0Friend,\u00a0Stereophonics, Catatonia and The Joy Formidable. However, even they would be missing the most important band to hail from Cymru: Super Furry Animals.If you haven\u2019t had the pleasure yet, this Welsh rock group was formed in Cardiff in 1993. Led by singer-guitarist Gruff Rhys (and featuring actor Rhys Ifans on lead vocals during an earlier incarnation of the band), the five-piece were at the forefront of what many referred to as the renaissance of Welsh culture in the 90s.While Oasis and Blur were battling it out over the soul of Britpop, Super Furry Animals were letting the children bicker and went about doing their thing \u2013 a delirious mix of strange pop, psychedelic rock and\u00a0experimental panache which couldn\u2019t have been more in contrast to then-current music trends.Over the course of nine studio albums, from 1996\u2019s \u2018Fuzzy Logic\u2019 (following their debut EP &#8216;Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllantysiliogogogochynygofod (In Space)&#8217;) to 2000\u2019s \u2018Mwng\u2019 (their only album to have lyrics written entirely in the Welsh language) and their last album to date, 2009\u2019s \u2018Dark Days \/ Light Years\u2019,\u00a0SFA have shown that they are one of the most ambitious, imaginative and genre-bending\u00a0indie bands out there.In case you were wondering, &#8216;Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllantysiliogogogochynygofod&#8217; was an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for longest EP title. It reportedly translates to &#8220;naughty smoke&#8221; &#8211; a reference to cannabis.This month, Super Furry Animals have released \u2018Precreation Percolation\u2019, a collection of rarities, B-sides and demos. We\u2019d be lying to you if we said it was a good starting point if you\u2019re not familiar with the band. It\u2019s a lengthy beast of a record which will delight die-hard fans looking to explore the band&#8217;s formative years. However, it could alienate those seeking a way in.With this in mind, here\u2019s our lookback at the band\u2019s innovative and oft underestimated oeuvre \u2013 a ranked Top 5 beginner&#8217;s guide to get you started.Here we go \u2013 sorry, dyma ni&#8217;n mynd&#8230;Rings Around The World\u00a0(2001)It\u2019s worth saying that the first three albums in this ranking are pretty much interchangeable. However, tough decisions had to be made, and the top spot goes to &#8216;Rings Around The World&#8217;, SFA\u2019s fifth studio album. Arguably their most polished offering, the LP is also the band at their most eclectic. It features prog-rock psychedelia, radio-friendly hits and the perfect combination of experimental production and immediately accessible melodies. There are too many good tracks to select as obvious standouts. From \u2018(Drawing) Rings Around The World\u2019, \u2018It\u2019s Not The End Of The World\u2019 to \u2018Juxtapozed With U\u2019 and \u2018Run! Christian, Run!\u2019, this is a blast from start to finish. It\u2019s also the best entry point in the Super Furry Animals\u2019 discography, as well as an essential record for any fan of alternative rock. \u00a0Listen to: Tough one, but try \u2018Juxtapozed With U\u2019.Fuzzy Logic\u00a0(1996)Another tricky call for the second spot, but there\u2019s no use denying the gloriously quirky\u00a0mission statement that is the Furries\u2019 debut album, \u2018Fuzzy Logic\u2019. Plus, it turns 30 this year! Straight out of the gate, the band showed that they weren\u2019t interested in established Britpop sounds, and they knew exactly what they were doing in terms of glam rock infused psychedelia.\u00a0Standouts include\u00a0\u2018God! Show Me Magic\u2019, the wonderful \u2018If You Don\u2019t Want Me To Destroy You\u2019, the Beach Boys reminiscent \u2018Bad Behaviour\u2019, and their Top 20 hit \u2018Something 4 The Weekend\u2019. And in case you were curious about that album cover, it\u2019s a series of polaroid shots of Welsh drug smuggler, folk hero and drug legislation campaigner Howard Marks. We obviously don\u2019t advocate for the excessive use of the devil\u2019s cabbage, but safe to say that this is a solid\u00a0soundtrack for those kind of evenings. \u00a0Listen to: \u2018Something 4 The Weekend\u2019 and its swoon-worthy chorus.Radiator\u00a0(1997)It really was a toss-up between \u2018Radiator\u2019 and \u2018Fuzzy Logic\u2019 in terms of ranking, as SFA\u2019s second studio album is undeniably a more\u00a0refined and creative\u00a0offering. Still, you won\u2019t find many debut albums boasting the confidence or fun of \u2018Fuzzy Logic\u2019, so we\u2019ll stick with the third spot for \u2018Radiator\u2019. Showcasing surreal lyrics (\u201cDormant vices turned on their devices \/ Now she&#8217;s raising money for the sex appeal \/ And when she grazed her knee upon the astroturf \/ All her blood turned green as the TV screamed\u201d on \u2018Play It Cool\u2019), pop gems (\u2018Demons\u2019), great song titles (\u2018The International Language Of Screaming\u2019), and fan favourites (\u2018Hermann \u2665&#8217;s Pauline\u2019), this is a masterful album which established SFA as The Flaming Lips&#8217; EU counterpart.Listen to: \u2018Hermann \u2665&#8217;s Pauline\u2019. (He does. He really does.)Phantom Power\u00a0(2005)Kicking off with the brilliant triple-tap of \u2018Hello Sunshine\u2019, \u2018Liberty Belle\u2019 and \u2018Golden Retriever\u2019 &#8211; arguably SFA\u2019s strongest album opening &#8211; \u2018Phantom Power\u2019 is the great sister record to \u2018Rings Around The World\u2019. It also contains the band\u2019s greatest closing song, \u2018Slow Life\u2019. So, what about the middle section? A selection of tuneful, mellow,\u00a0at times transcendent songs which are the perfect antidote to dark times. So why so low on the list? Probably because &#8216;Phantom Power&#8217;, in many ways, feels like a Greatest Hits of sorts, combining elements from their previous five albums and polishing the merger. Nothing wrong with that, but it does lack a sense of surprise for those familiar with their work. Still, a cracking record. \u00a0Listen to: \u2018Golden Retriever\u2019 &#8211; an absolute gem.Guerrilla\u00a0(1999)&#8217;Guerrilla&#8217; was something of a turning point for the Furries. Following their terrific \u2018Ice Hockey Hair EP&#8217;, the band expanded their musical palette to include more electronic sensibilities. They experimented with a sampler and introduced more danceable &#8211; techno, even &#8211; sounds to their brand of psychedelic pop. The lead single \u2018Northern Lites\u2019\u00a0and its calypso horns and steel drums exemplify the positive sound of \u2018Guerrilla\u2019, while \u2018Do Or Die\u2019 is colourfully daft rock perfection in just\u00a0two minutes. The album does feature a couple of fillers; but on the whole, it\u2019s very underrated. \u00a0Listen to: \u2018Northern Lites\u2019\u00a0&#8211; you can&#8217;t beat those horns.Super Furry Animals\u2019 \u2018Precreation Percolation\u2019 is out now. The band is currently on tour across the UK until September.
