    I speak Welsh. So I know what they're on about (even though Gruff Rhys has a distinctively northen accent). Its excellent.

    Drygioni, Ymaelodi â'r Ymylon, and Ysbeidiau Heulog are the three that really stand out on this album. The rest seem slightly depressing, and because it's Welsh, it's difficult to know what they are talking about. The tunes of the songs are good though

    Real mellow and chilled out, with lots of nice melodies. More listenable than Fuzzy Logic, but not in the same vein as Radiator or Rings. But then I don't think it's meant to be...

  1. In a world where a cheap squirt of brass is enough to equal "a new direction", the Super Furries' free-range ideas-farming is a vital antidote to the preservative-pumped junk that curdles music's bloodflow.

    The rehearsal-room feel of Mwng succeeds in capturing the organic, woody, mystical atmosphere that was sometimes missing from its highly-polished, heavily-digitised predecessors.
  3. Minimizing their usual production trickery in favor of live-in-the-studio ensemble thrust, these merry pranksters swim in classic-psychedelia grooves while offering oodles of art-rock allusion.
