...a case of liking and disliking, as with the film, I think it's something you either "get" or "don't get".

Advantages: Unique, insane, the most fun you can have in CD form.
Disadvantages: Madness may rub off on you (just look at me!)

...Oh no, I can hear you cry. Not that wacky Welsh band AGAIN already, surely? How much of this does she expect us to take?! Well, I’m sorry, but some things are simply too wondrous to keep to myself. And the wild world of the Super Furries is one of those places that deserves several close inspections, so jump back onboard for tour #2. The first thing you’ll notice (well you might not, but your guide is helpfully pointing it out) is that back in Radiator Land it’s actually 1997. Take a look behind you and you’ll see one album, Fuzzy Logic, and just a few years ahead the other masterpiece, Guerrilla. But for now there’s a whole new world to be found.

Disadvantages: None to speak of!

...In all honesty I have not always been a fan of the Super Furries but was introduced to them by my girlfriend (she is from N.Wales and Gruff Rhys brother was her tutor at college - name dropping...sorry!). I had a listen to her stack of albums - including the Welsh language one: and was instantly hooked. HEY VENUS! is no exception to the consistent stream of quality, inventive and catchy music the Furries seem to churn out year after year. Considering they never had the mainstream success of other bands around at the time, they have certainly stood the test of time and one could argue that with the list of really good albums they have been the best band to come from that era. In terms of sales they will never reach OASIS levels, but, time and time again they have released albums with fantastic repeat-listen value which is more than... Read review
