3 Super Furry Animals Fuzzy Logic CREATION, 1996

You say: “One of the best debut albums ever and still sounds fantastic today.” Dan Wolff, Twitter

Although the Furries enjoyed recording a debut amid the luxury of Rockfield Studios, they later admitted to feeling uncomfortable in an environment far removed from previous experience (and possibly tainted by association with Britpop) despite the continued presence of production mentor Gorwel Owen. Yet Fuzzy Logic offered a fully-formed universe without an obvious precedent, a psych-pop wonderland stuffed with arcane characters like Hometown Unicorn’s alien abductee Franckie Fontaine or Welsh drug smuggler Howard Marks, with walk-ons for Kevin Ayers’ wind ensemble Wizards Of Twiddly and actor Rhys Ifans, who sang in an early SFA incarnation. Everything to come can be traced back here.
