Super Furry Animals - Precreation Percolation [CD]

Holding the world record for the longest ever EP title the first EP -Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllantysiliogogogochynygofod (In Space), was released in 1995, followed in the same year by Moog Droog, with both EPs making up the eight-song track listing of the vinyl version of Precreation Percolation. Later that year, with a record deal on the table and future classics such as "God! Show Me Magic" and "Hangin' With Howard Marks" already making up the SFA's set list, the band's path following "two years of chaos" was set. In the album's liner notes, singer, Gruff Rhys writes: "It would have been the best gig ever, had we not daisy chained so many synthesizers together, that it resulted in a terminal systems failure." By summer they'd joined Oasis, Primal Scream, and The Jesus and Mary Chain in the Creation Records family, leading to a huge London signing party that saw members of the band famously thrown out of. The term of intriguing genre experimentation, spanning long-form electro, blissed out instrumentals and expansive prog-influenced rock, heard across much of Precreation Percolation was subsequently refined and channeled into their thrilling, 1996 debut album, Fuzzy Logic and their untamed live performances. 22 track CD features further unreleased and unheard bonus tracks from this early era.
