One of Wales' proudest sons Gruff Rhys
(of Welsh troublemakers the Super Furry Animals) pops
up here as co-curater as he and Finders Keepers regulars
Any Votel and Dom Thomas pick around in Welsh music
history finding twenty five obscure psychedelic, folk and punk
gems guaranteed to put hair on your chest boyo.

Not knowing much about the Welsh music scene and no
speaking a word of the language of course gives this disc
a certain exotic quality - all the songs are in Welsh, so even
though a trip to Wales is only an hour away in the car it could
just as easily be from the Middle East - I don't know what the
hell they're going on about.

The strange intonation of the language and tonal qualities though
really adds to the sound, dislocating it from so much other music
of the time and making this compilation something of a unique item.

Where else can you hear such oddities cherry picked and plonked
together on one disc? Okay it's not going to be for everyone -
there are bound to be people allergic to the Welsh native tongue,
but we love a bit of Welsh culture every once in a while
- and there's not a Pot Noodle in sight!
