My favourite band. And like yer man Owain they can speak Welsh.

There is some weird stuff going on at their website

http://www.superfurry.com/

Looks, and sounds, like they're recording a new album or summink, and are documenting it on the web via the medium of daily looped videos.

Interesting that on day 5 they used a wah wah pedal - not nearly enough of that in pop music these days for my liking.

And possibly a fuzz bass on day 7

They've got a New album out in 1 week.

That explains the 6:23:30:26 countdown thing then

I might do a track-by-track for you all :)

The bloke behind Neon Neon is in them isnt he?

Yes, Gruff and Boom Bip were Neon Neon. That album was alright.

What's your favourite SFA album?

I'm a big fan of "Mwng", but it's got to be "Phantom Power" for me

hey venus is a masterpiece

Super Furry Animals are never ones to stay still creatively, and with their forthcoming (currently untitled) 9th studio album they have decided to document the process on 4 individual hand held cameras. But this will be no ordinary 'the making of the album' story; it's a series of Warhol like observations, of a band putting the finishing touches to songs, a celebration of the banal nature of the mixing process. Whole chunks of time seem to vanish at twice the speed over a slow game of darts or the making of a cup of tea as a song is played on repeat 26 times on the mixing console.
Inspired by Mike Figgis's ground breaking film 'Time Code' the episodes will be released in 21 individual episodes starting on the 23rd February, 8p.m.GMT through this site.

'Ah! Greetings friends, join us for the next few weeks as we finish up our new album for your ears. We have borrowed 4 video cameras from friends and family and we will document events as they unfold, hopefully with as little drama as possible.' The Film Council of SFA.

yep-that's my favourite,full of great tracks

My favourite remains Radiator, but I can find good in all of them. The closing run on that album is very strong indeed, and the times that I have seen them play 'Mountain People' live they have closed it off with a great big fuck off techno section, which is nice.

I have Guerilla down as their weakest effort, FYI.

Guerilla has northenr lites and arguably the greatest song of all time, fire in my heart.

Yes, you are right, those are both great tracks.

I loved Radiator so much when it came out, that Guerilla could only ever be a disappointment.

In tribute to this thread I am giving 'Nightvision' an airing right now.

i was once at a rave on ovingdean beach in sussex and the dj played mobile phone is killing the pub quiz as the sun came up, it was fucking lush.

You might be interested in giving the Acid Casuals' "Omni" album a listen.

It is, for all intents and purposes, a collection of SFA-style electronica by Cian Ciaran.

Ive got it, sfa are headling beachdown festival in august and will be doing a dj set at my club night after :)

Some kind of sucky video edit of the song, but still cracking none-the-less.
