First record, a fearsome mess: a raw miscellany thrown together from small-town ennui, the apathy of the middle classes, and all the things teenage boys are obsessed with.
1987. Dinosaur Jr....

Super Furry Animals were one of the first post-alternative bands, fusing together a number of disparate musical genres - including power pop, punk rock, techno, and progressive rock - creating a shimmering, melodic, irreverent, and wilfully artsy rock & roll.

Threads of Technicolor drama, Factory cool, and bedsit ambition squeezed onto a cassette tape in shimmering and immediate song. Lo-fi that reverently spans the gap between '60s Love (Arthur Lee), '70s private-pressed and would-be glam (Lucky Pierre, Brett Smiley), and perhaps most transparent: The Sound of Young Scotland (Postcard 7-inches)....

Released in February 1990, Extricate was a big bold statement, co-opting some Madchester beats into The Fall's mix, with the band and Smith on excellent form. From the catchy indie of Hilary and The Littlest Rebel, the oblique attack on past lovers in Sing! Harpy, and the touching rumination on...
