Spaced, for me, is a geeks dream. We all have our inner geeks and this series certainly caters for it with the continued referencing and homage paid during the course of the story.

Advantages: Great actors, some funny moments Disadvantages: Not as funny as I expected
Tim and Daisy are two twenty-somethings living in London. Tim has recently split up with a girlfriend and Daisy wants to move out of the squat that she has been living in. The problem is, there are few flats available in their price range. Then one comes up for a professional couple and they decide to go for it as a couple.

This is what Super Furry Animals are good at, mixing styles and taking you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. The album continues in much the same vain. Some of the additional tracks that stand out are the medleys 'Arnofido/Glo In The Dark"', another spaced-out track which fuses electronica, beautiful vocals before exploding into good ...
