The quartet does an excellent job of setting the mood for whatever you are doing. It's music you can talk over and yet it is stimulating just to lay back and listen. Can't miss with this CD.

old wine in a new bottle.......2004-07-09

Fantastic CD! The oboist with this group continues to astound with each of their releases. I don't personally care for the vocal portions added to LeTombeau, but I wonder what Ravel might have thought? The 2 new members of the quartet really seem to pull their weight (and I really liked the former members!) The new accordionist just dazzles. This CD has something to offer for lovers of all musical flavors.

Super Furries at their peak.......2007-01-23

This is the Super Furry Animals at their peak. The songs are more poppy than before and there is less experimental noise than on any other of their albums.

The album starts with "Alternative Route To Vulcan Street" which is quite downbeat and could give the listener a false impression of the sound of the album. It is anything but downbeat. Super Furries write intricate songs with great lyrics and soaring choruses. This is the Beach Boys meets The Kinks meets Love done in a very individual way.

The highlights for me have to be "Receptacle For The Respectable" with Paul McCartney in the background chewing carrots (don't ask me. I don't know why either !) and "Shoot Doris Day". The two songs really are astonishing - "Receptacle" is power pop par excellence and "Shoot Doris Day" is chamber pop par excellence.

There are plenty of other great songs here as well "Run!Christian!Run","Juxtaposed With U", "Sidewalk Serfer Girl" and "Presidential Suite" are all cracking tunes.

To people who like their music with a bit of originality and prefer something unique, this is the best band in Britain (forget about Oasis , they aren't fit to tie their shoelaces)

If you're a fan of complex power pop/indie/chamber pop/quasi psychedelia, you'll absolutely love this band. Their musical scope is astonishing

music!.......2001-09-10

SFA's 5th album is, as are all the others, an instant classic. there is no other band that can maintain their consistent brilliance from album to album. there ar no suprises here, if you liked their other albums, well then this has it all. the fun pop tunes, the ballads, the techno freak-outs, the keyboard tracks, the great artwork. as usual the lyrics are hilarious, the tunes are fantastic, and it is more coherent than, say, guerrilla. album of the year.

completely deranged...one of the year's best.......2001-09-06

My favourite new albums are the ones that are both instantly pleasing to hear as well as being challenging at the same time, records that throw convention out the window, great pop music that's a bit off-kilter, with clever lyrics to boot. Super Furry Animals' new album Rings Around The World is the first new album of 2001 to completely blow me away, a soaring, aural mindfunk of a pop album.

Where should I begin? Every track is musically vastly different from the other and is punctuated by Gruff Rhys's oddball lyrics, the first five songs getting the album off to a flying start. The mellow piano ballad 'Alternate Route To Vulcan Street' kicks off the album with the enigmatic line "sometimes I ponder/what if the Caspian Sea/should merger/over my shoulder", 'Sidewalk Serfer Girl' lampoons the Beach Boys with a bit of a glam twist, the irresistable electropop of '(Drawing) Rings Around The World' perfectly mirrors the sound of ELO, and Rhys's impeccable singing on the plaintive ballad 'It's Not The End Of The World' sounds as good as the best work by Blur. The album's best moments, though, are in the amazing 'Receptacle For The Respectable' (talk about the song title of the year). It starts at a midtempo, acoustic guitar-driven pace with harmonies that sound lifted straight from Wings, then suddenly breaks down to half the speed in an Abbey Road-styled segue before slowing down even more, with a gentle, horn-driven melody that also features the sound of Paul McCartney eating celery and carrots, then builds up to the final section where, over faux-industrial keyboards, Rhys belts out the song's title in his best death metal impersonation. All this happens in less than four exhilerating minutes, making it one of the most stunning songs you'll hear in a long time.

There are no low points on the rest of Rings Around The World: '(A) Touch Sensitive' is an effective stab at trip-hop, 'Shoot Doris Day' sounds a lot like Elvis Costello and just might hint at someone's great dislike of The Man Who Knew Too Much ("Sentimentality pause/as Jimmy Stewart ignores her question"), the grim, folky 'No Sympathy' that metamorphoses from a Crosby, Stills & Nash homage into a boisterous exercise in electronic knob-twiddling, the Marvin Gaye-influenced 'Juxtaposed With U' that combines biting social commentary with bizarre humour ("I'm not in love with you/but I won't hold that against you") and makes Rhys sound like a Welsh Jarvis Cocker, the hilarious lampooning of the Clinton-Lewinsky controversy in 'Presidential Suite', the Pink Floyd sounds of 'Run Christian Run', and the gentle "doo doo-wah"'s of 'Fragile Happiness that evoke the Velvet Underground.

Super Furry Animals have made a major statement with this spectacular album, which was close to a year in the making, and as a result they have emerged as one of the best bands on the planet. You can't go wrong with this flawless piece of work, which will end up close to, or perhaps, at the top of my best of 2001 list.

Do Not Judge a CD by the Single.......2001-08-06

Uh oh--I made the mistake of pursuing said CD based on "Juxtapozed With U." The single is not perfect. It's a bit trendy and irritating as of late to electronically warble/modulate the singing (Cher aka "Believe"). The chorus at least is tuneful. It brings to mind Elvis Costello in his Punch the Clock phase. Nothing else on this CD even approaches this. The music is largely disjointed, quirky, weird, and too often ends in dead end noise. It's far too self-indulgent to repeatedly enjoy. A lot of it sounds like rejected outtakes from the solo sides of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma LP, now over 30 years old. Also brings to mind the more contemporary Fatima Mansions--frequent visitors to the bargain bins. I guess I have a hard time deciding where the critics see the strength in this recording? In the musicianship? In the songcraft? In the lyrics? In their "[rehash] Radiohead" song motifs? Surely not. Since I was really let down after the strength of the single, I know much of this sounds like griping. But I wasn't prepared for the "Rage Against the Machine" posturing either--middle class Welsh blokes unhappy with the ills of western society. Happy to reveal flaws in politics/society; far too alienated to offer solutions. The targets are too easy: religion (with Tammy Faye as one object of ire in their full-length video) and politics (Bill Clinton and Monika tackling oral sex). Where's the cutting edge here? Even so, bad lyrics can be overcome with a handful of decent songs. Unfortunately, this CD does not warrant repeated listens because sixty minutes of quirky, excessive personalities exposed from song to song simply wear you out. It will sadly collect dust along with those other "Critics Rave!" CDs that seemed like a good idea one day, but with a bad aftertaste immediately after. For those duped into this work by the single, stay clear.

Still excellent but not their best.......2001-08-03

Another album the critics (at least in the UK) have been hailing as their best ever. But in fact it is a retread of old ground: a quiet instrumental opening giving way to a harder second track: a bit of weird techno breakdown around the middle of the album and some nice ballads afterwords. The Furries still do it better than anyone else around, but both Guerilla especially Radiator were better (and stranger) albums by far. Sounds like they need some new inspiration to stop them the turning tide washing away their castles in the sand.
