Phantom Power 3-Disc CD

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 amp roll. Produced by the band, lsquoPhantom Powerrsquo, celebrating its 20 th anniversary in 2023, keeps a much lower profile than the bandrsquos previous work. The album, for the most part, is awash with pedal steel, acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies. But if you think the creative juices have ceased, you could barely be more wrong. Gruff Rhys songwriting moves a step forward on lsquoPhantom Powerrsquo, with playful storybased lyrics about turtles, mingers, ninjas and cabbages contrasting with lines about death, radiation and war.If you need more Super Furries, the remastered album is also available as a 3CD format, with two CDs packed with loads of bonus material, including outtakes, demos, and live versions, much of it previously unreleased.
