Best album to come out of Wales

[Jambooboo]

Five cyber pints to the first person to correctly tell me which film this is from

Winston Smith to Julia, 1984.

 

[clandestino]

Ooh, good call. Now that's a classic album.

Winston Smith to Julia, 1984.

Indeed. I had one of those 'yay!' moments when I watched that film last year...

I think I'm going to settle on "Fuzzy Logic" of the SFA ones. It had a superb applied mixture of weirdness and pure poppiness.

Is your username taken from the liner notes for that album by any chance?

Fuzzy logic is pure class, particularly the opening lines to 'mario man':

The blim holes in my shell suit
Joined into an absolute
And fell apart one day

They stitched me up in Everton
Then they took me to a surgeon:
Lost on penalties

What about one or more of the artists who recorded at Rockfield Studios?

Yep, I am Bunf's hamster.

It has to be the Holy Bible.

Faster.

yep

 

[Silva]

I only found out Faster this weekend

Now I'm planning on getting The Holy Bible because of it.

For 10 bonus points name the book the film was based on. No confering.

There's an excellent compilation from Ankst records which is where Gorky's, SFA, Catatonia and others were first signed. It's mainly Welsh language and a bit trippy. It's called Radio Crymi Playlist Vol 1. I'll try to do a link so here goes.

I was going to say that.

I find holy bible really uncomfrotbale to listen to aqlthough does have some well good tunes on it. Manics wise its all about generation terrorists for my money.

So i will eithert go gen terrorists or the first sterophonics album. Although feeders polythene is brillient as well.

I don't actually have any of their albums, but surely we should honourarily mention Helen Love, Swansea's answer to The Ramones.

fuckin' hell. what's happened to this place?

manic street preachers.

that john cale album shits all over it. mind you, so does the goldie lookin' chain...

 

[Brother Mouzone]

 

[SpookyFrank]

No, not really. Good album though.

 

[stavros]

I don't think he ever released anything as a solo artist, but H from Steps is Welsh and demands inclusion in this list.

 

[the button]

I prefer Music for a new society to Paris 1919, but then I am teh miserable bastard.

 

[jontz01]

I'd say Super Furry Animals along with stavros and tanky - but which one?
hmmmm. Radiator I think...

"Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann
They made love and gave birth to a little German

They call him MC squared because he raps like no other
An asthma sufferer like Ernesto Guevara"

 

[durruti02]

I was going to say that.

john cale is awesome ... but sadly ( or not) ( he's from my mamgu's village) he is not at all interested in being welsh .. and i am not sure if any of his albums are 'welsh' or produced in wales

lately, the geraint jarman reggae stuff 'sub not used ' on sain , i like and dr gonzo!

 

[kained&able]

no way! i Thought all goldie looking chain fans would have gotten over them by now. I hated them so much, so glad im never likely to hear thier name again.
