Super Furry Animals: Influences

The psychedelic pop and electronic experimentation of restlessly inventive rockers Super Furry Animals spring from a deep reserve of disparate influences. This playlist gathers together the acts that helped shape SFA's kaleidoscopic sound. From the electronica of 808 State to the classic orchestral pop of Electric Light Orchestra, the acid-soaked jams of Pink Floyd to the sun-dappled grooves of Funkadelic and the sleek art-rock of Roxy Music to the unhinged garage thrash of MC5, the Welsh wizards have soaked it all up.
