Another Day in the Mad Laboratory.......2002-07-12
From the very first line of the album ¡°I had a soul transplant operation,¡± to the very last chaotic crashing explosion of percussion and string instruments at the end of the last track (which is supposed to be the trashing of a BBC music studio), Super Furry Animals take you on a tour of their mad laboratory. At the first stop on the tour, ¡°God! Show Me Magic,¡± SFA have promised to show you ¡°What the paper doesn¡¯t show/ What the TV doesn¡¯t say.¡± It is a crash course preparing you for the delightful oddities packed in the next forty minutes of listening pleasure. The second stop on the tour, ¡°Fuzzy Birds,¡± is the hamster cage. Bunf (lead guitarist) is praising Starvos, his hamster, for turning his exercise wheel that is wired to a dynamo system generating electricity for the house. Starvos replies, ¡°So won¡¯t you give me some food, I really need to get some energy in me.¡± You¡¯re beginning to think that something isn¡¯t quite right in the world of Super Furry Animals. It¡¯s as if SFA and David Lynch teamed up to be the ringleaders of a new sick and twisted circus. Finally, in the third track, you find out the inspiration to their madness. Rhys tells you, ¡°Stuck it on the back of my tongue and swallowed it.¡± ... this song is truly a masterpiece.
Even with the absurd lyrics, the album does not drown in a pool of silliness. Somehow Super Furry Animals keep it dignified among screeching guitars, psychedelic background effects, exultant melodies, and impudent lyrics. ¡°Frisbee,¡± possibly the album¡¯s finest track, is reflective of this SFA¡¯s ability to produce a dreamlike musical landscape with cheeky lyrical headlines. The song begins, ¡°Locked in a sorry dream/ You know we¡¯re drowning in designer ice cream.¡± This is followed by a chorus of Umpalumpa-like hooting and wild guitar effects to produce a uniquely jubilant orchestral circus. Don¡¯t put it past SFA to incorporate instruments from the classical music tradition. In songs like ¡°Fuzzy Birds¡± and ¡°If You Don¡¯t Want Me To Destroy You¡± you can hear everything from French horns, to violins, to even a melodic chirpy flute.
On the more critical side, the album is not without its shortcomings. The first seven tracks lead you on a journey through sophistication and wild surprises. Then, at track 8, it slowly begins ¡°gathering moss.¡± Of the last five tracks, three are lacking in the same creativity that pushed the first seven tracks to the edge of musical genius. In ¡°Bad Behavior,¡± heavy guitar distortion and elementary chord progressions reduce this lyrical nightmare to little more than average punk music. It¡¯s as if they became tired of writing songs with the release date quickly approaching, so they tossed in some fluff to get the album over forty minutes. The only gem is the ballad of ¡°Mario Man,¡± a homage to a man who has had horrible luck in life. It begins with a music box keyboard solo and finales in an eruption of distorted guitar solos and powerful backup vocals.
SFA formed in 1993 and dabbled in electronica, but surfaced with Fuzzy Logic as one of the leading experimental bands in the UK and the frontrunner in the new Welsh music movement, alongside Gorky¡¯s Zygotic Mynci. After the release of Fuzzy Logic, SFA gathered a cult following in the UK and Ireland, but the US was slow to release the album. Fuzzy Logic is a term used in mathematics for notions that cannot be defined precisely but which depend on their context. The music truly reflects the album title. A must have for anyone who relishes the sound of a creative, experimental band in an era of stagnant Brit-pop. SFA knew they were verging on greatness and boldly claimed in the last delightfully cheesy lyric of the album, ¡°we¡¯ll be together till the end, now and forever.¡±

Quick review of fuzzy logic
God Show me magic - didn't like when i first heard it, but its just so manic and full of energy, impossible not to love the crazy rhyming lyrics
"wouldn't it be nice to know
what the paper doesn't show
what the tv doesn't say
what my hamster ate today"
always makes you wonder with the furries, has the acid really eaten into their brains, or are they really incredibly intelligent and know things we don't or shouldn't?
Fuzzy birds
A song about a hamster, a song to put a smile on your dial.
A song for hamsters everywhere, hamsterism is here and Stavros is its spokehamster
Something for the weekend
Drugs, that 'bad/good' feeling you have when you take drugs... its all in this song, gruff amps it up initially as the 'bad side', the squeaking guitars do their bit, and then... wow the chorus that had me hooked forever like the worst drug in the world, its all good.
"Oh yeah, cause you're on my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Cause I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind..."
Frisbee
Guitarist comes in with a great hook and doesn't let go. Great oddball lyrics - "locked in a sorry dream, you know we're drowning in designer icecream" and "The past was eagle-eyed, the futures pixelised". The other great thing about frisbee is the odd scream-instrument and backing chorus throughout the song, lend it valuable character
Hometown unicorn - I was lost, lost on the bypass road, could be worse, I could be turned to toad..." Need I say more, if you've heard this song you know how the rest goes and your heart swings as gruff croons "I wonder what can I do.........." and the incredibly simple yet beautiful guitar solo kicks in. This song is just f..g great.
Gathering Moss - a time filler, brings you back to reality after the incredible opening five songs. You could imagine sitting on a rock in Ireland just watching clouds float past overhead or counting cows and thinking how sad life is, sincerely...
If you don't want me to destroy you - gruff carries this song initially, and then, holy s..t a f..g orchestra, in a pop song, i thought these guys were on acid. How the f..k do they know how to combine pop and classical instruments and just melt your f..g heart. The band don't need to do anything while the orchestra plays, just carry the beat, but when its their turn again, boy do they kick in. AND angrily, Gravity, you just hold me down so quietly!!! Damn planet, how dare you hold me down... And now, they combine with the orchestra and fade out....
Bad Behaviour - This is the keyboardists song, and what a song to make an impact. Gruff and backers carry the song initially, soso lyrics and nice backup vocals "bad bad, bad bad behaviour...." and then comes the mind f..k. The guitarist kicks it off, goes nuts, bit more chorus, and then the MIND F..K. Keyboardist goes nuts, but, its totally appropriate. And then, Elvis, how he finds his way into this song, I don't know, but his "uhh huh's" kick some f..g ass. Dont mess with the king.
Mario man - after five years, this track is now my favourite. The song is so easy listening and beautiful, you kick back, drink up Gruffs lyrics and voice and relax. Eventually, the fateful lyrics "zap zap wham wham says the mario man today" which seem to carry far more importance and meaningfulness to them than they actually do, its all in context. You have to hear it for yourself.
Hangin with Howard Marks - Love the guitars - Love Gruffs lyrics, they flow out of his mouth like velvet and he just nails it in this song. "washed down with a dire choke.." cut to *gruff choking*. gruff and band at their best.
Long gone - its a distance far away, the album is winding down, and you know this is it, in one more song, the album ends, musical brilliance will never get this good, why must it end? It cuts into some weird distorted laughing guy and fades out.
For now and ever - Well the furries knew I'd love this album, "we'll be together till the end, for now and ever"
...........................
Ammmbient.......2002-04-02
Beautiful melodies played under the most tragically heartbreaking of lyrics, sung in a voice that sounds the aural equivalent of a kicked puppy. From Gathering Moss, with its sublime loneliness and depth of feeling, to the throwaway fun of Bad Behaviour and Hanging With Howard Marks, the tunes drift along dreamily, settling into your subconscious as if it had always been there. It is not fair to give SFA comparisons to punk, pop or Dylan: they are a beautifully anarchic folk band who somewhere along the line were handed guitars. We can only be thankful for that.
Do the Fuzzy Math - SFA are greater than great!.......2001-07-13
This is by far the furries most straight ahead rock disc. Albums like Mwng and Guerilla bounce through many many styles, while the amazing Radiator acts as a bridge.
Just buy this.

It may not be appropriate to label this as Benoit's best record, considering what his '80s albums Freedom at Midnight, Waiting for Spring, and others, did for the smooth-jazz genre. During the '90s, his discs were bland and without drive, but on these 10 tracks his dazzling technique again is complemented with music he can sink his keys into. Ironically, Benoit moves forward by going backward. Like other smooth-jazz artists, the pianist has sprinkled the retro-based European acid jazz and drum & bass grooves into his style. His brilliant cover of Smash Mouth's "Then the Morning Comes," in all its '60s soul/jazz glory, still radiates the alternative music vibe of today and is destined to become a pop instrumental classic. Some time surfing is also done on the Rick Braun-produced track, "Snap," and the funky title tune, both sporting high-powered horn charts. On the ballads, Benoit dispenses with the sappy strings that plagued many of his recent recordings, but wears his influences on his sleeves by nearly plagiarizing Ramsey Lewis on "Someday Soon," and Joe Sample on "Reflections." The self-descriptive "Tango in Barbados" also stands out. --Mark RuffinCustomer Reviews:

4-Plus Stars? Are You Kidding?.......2003-12-24
Jazz? Um, sort of. Loosely speaking.
Smooth? Well, yeah. Duh.
Exciting? No. (See "Smooth.")
Original? Not really.
Like TV show theme songs? Yes, yes, that's it exactly!!! Thank you for saving me from wasting my money on 44 minutes of cliche rubbish, Mr. Towne! (Yes, that's right, 44 out of a possible 80, folks.)
(Diehard fans, you may now click on the "I hate this guy" button.)
Outstanding.......2003-04-07
The rest of the album is every bit as good, if not better than, the tracks they're playing on the radio. I seriously recommend this if you enjoy chilling out to a great vibe, or you just want something you can tap your toes to. This one does not disappoint.
jazz with fun, and makes me feel good.......2003-03-08
Smooth Jazz at its very best.......2003-02-27
I have been a big fan of Smooth Jazz for a number of years now and heard much fine music from a wide range of first class artists but in all honesty I have to say that this album takes some beating.
It's rare to find an album where I can truly say I like every track but this is one occasion where it's a pleasure to say so! Right from the vibrant first track "Snap" to my favourite, the truly fantastic "Tango in Barbados" the listener is taken through a range of very different but at the same time very similar music in terms of style and excellence!
If I had to take 6 albums onto a desert island this one would be top of my list - an absolute must for anyone with a passion for Smooth Jazz!
