I went from Prague to Warsaw in early 1996 nursing a broken heart from a a painful break up with someone that I realise all these years later simply wasn't worth it. We all need to go through these experiences. Brit Pop was moving from its second phase to its last legs. NME and Creation were trying to squeeze the last pips out of it and had seized on the Super Furry Animals.
They were for the likes of me but not for mass acceptance. They sang in Welsh at every opportunity they got. Seemed to spend most weekends in the woods seeking mushrooms. Were barmy in a charming and well read way rather than in a mad for it coked up Slade kind of way. I walked round Barcelona for three months visiting the Gaudi, the Olympic Marina and thinking my heart was breaking when really I was letting someone hurt me who I should have just moved on from. Fuzzy Logic still sounds great. Many have drawn from Super Furry Animals well. And quite right too.
