Release Notes:
Storming back to centre stage after two years of side

projects, Super Furry Animals can be proud of Dark Days/Light

Years as a masterclass in cool and seemingly effortless

psychedelia. Bookended by an opening scene, apparently taped

as the band members arrived at the studio for the first day of

recording, and a secret hidden final bit that doesn't kick in

until well past the final notes of Pric, it's a fantastic set

that's all brain-filler and no buzz-killer.
Although Crazy Naked Girl' (one of many arresting titles in

the collection) descends dangerously close to Spinal Tap

riff-a-rama, the lads seem sincere in their search for

mind-expanding music. They swerve wildly in the hunt for

inspiration, veering from Sly Stone funk to the neurotic

metronome of NEU!; and from CSN&Y laid-back pastoral acoustic

to glam-pop electric rampage. Indeed, it's easy to let listing

the tributes paid become a musical meditation as the album

ambles past.
Despite the stunning beauty of tracks including 'Cardiff In

The Sun' and White Socks/Flip Flops, the band permit the

occasional cloud to block the summer weather - Inaugural Trams

evokes a sinister euro-pop disco stomp, The Very Best Of Neil

Diamond commemorates those who've died as collateral damage,

and there's an indefinable melancholy underlying Helium

Hearts.
SFA turned up for the recordings with the full set of effects

pedals and used every last one. Studio wizardry and phenomena

production skills allow a huge box of tricks to be opened

without the magic ever overwhelming the musicianship or

songwriting.
