Super Furry Animals - Radiator...

Posted by: the other nickc on 04 April 2003

For some reason this little wonder passed me by first time. Picked it up last week from HMV for £4.99 after reading the rave reviews on Amazon. Can't get it off the CD player - Highly recommended!

I'd second that.

Although i've had my copy since its release.
Oh and mine's a signed copy...

Just love the lyrics to 'Herman loves Pauline'!

Plenty of other good tracks on there too.

In fact i went and saw them while they were touring that album. They were a lot of fun.

Haven't really kept up with their recent stuff though.

I've never been that taken with this for some reason.

I love
'Fuzzy Logic' and 'Rings around the World'

but can't really get on with
'Radiator' and 'Guerrilla'

I noticed you picked up a couple of Gorky's albums the other week also, do you like these?. I think Barafundle is great, Blue Trees is good but not as good, However my favourite Gorky's is 'Spanish Dance Troupe'

Super Furry's:
I've not heard 'Fuzzy Logic' or 'Rings around the World'. On the list now though. It took maybe two or three listens before 'Radiator' really clicked with me. I do skip a few tracks sometimes but it seems to hang together beautifully as a complete album. Try listening to Demons, She's Got Spies, Down A Different River, Download and Mountain People and then play the whole thing through... go on...give it another go!

Gorky's:
I got Barafundle on Monday and love it to death! I'm finding Blues Tree's a a little harder to get into although I've only played it a few times. I got 'Spanish Dance Troupe' through the post today, going to play it in the car on the way home tonight!.

cheers

I've got all these on vinal so I tend not to skip tracks, I might try Radiator again you never know.

Rings.... is my favourite SFA album, very interesting on vinyl as side three plays from the inside to the outside, Don't know how you would go with an automatic deck?

Going to have to get 'rings around the world' too. (never going to get that CDS2 at this rate!). Unfortunately I don't have a vinyl setup - really miss all that mucking around!
