Radiator

"Radiator retains both a charm and innocence about it that was all too rare from its contemporaries back then. Timeless in stature if perhaps a little more difficult to digest as a whole than Fuzzy Logic, there's more than enough bonus material on offer to make this an attractive proposition which while being an essential addition to any Super Furry Animals completist's collection, is worth the time and attention of any casual fans that may pass by too".

"... the remastered 20th anniversary edition includes a bonus disc of rarities, Clarity Just Confuses Me, if you need further incentive to reconnect with an album that by rights should be riding a tall wave of retrospective veneration alongside the same year's OK Computer.Today, if anything, Radiator sounds even better than it did at the time, when its panoply of ideas was almost too overwhelming to process properly. That hissy, toppy mix, spatter-painted by Cian Caran's arcing, clanging electronics, conveys an inviolable immediacy and vigour, while a staggeringly creative clutch of songs locate a hitherto undreamt-of sweet spot between acoustic plaint, pop-in-excelsis and punchdrunk techno. Contained herein are four unimpeachable Top 40 singles (Hermann Loves Pauline, The International Language Of Screaming, Play It Cool and Demons) plus the deathless Mountain People: the sound of pop literally eating itself".
