	Super Furry Animals: Mwng (2000): Reviews
		'Mwng' or 'Mane' (as in horses) is a purely Welsh language album and is a theoretically disorientating and complex, but triumphantly audacious, experience.
		Mwng fits right in with their unique vision, and shows that the band can happily and productively work outside of the traditional bounds of the music industry.
		The rehearsal-room feel of Mwng succeeds in capturing the organic, woody, mystical atmosphere that was sometimes missing from its highly-polished, heavily-digitised predecessors.

	tonevendor.com :. Super Furry Animals - Mwng 2xCD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The very fact that Super Furry Animals had the courage to release Mwng, an all-Welsh language album, is proof that the group is the great eccentric band of their time.
		Unfortunately, many critics and listeners may dismiss Mwng as a stunt or a wacky joke, which is condescending — especially in light of what a terrific album this is. It doesn't matter that many listeners will not understand the lyrics, since the music is terribly effective in its own right.
		Mwng has more than its fair share of evocative sonic textures — it's easy to get lost not just in the surface sound but what's buried beneath the melodies — yet it's also a concise, sharply written psychedelic-pop record.

	Super Furry Animals: Mwng ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Mwng (say "mane"), SFA's Welsh language album, means "mane," as in a lion's fluffy corona, but to me it means "quiet triumph," which is just what this album is. In interviews, vocalist Gruff Rhys claims to have recorded it in the interest of the universal appeal of music, heedless of linguistic barriers.
		The Furries aren't "putting on airs" or trying to "stick it to the man" by singing in their native tongue, they're simply being themselves, and that, in all its innocence, is the root of revolution.
		Mwng finds the band back down on earth, lamenting war and personal conflict, the passage of time, the death of ruralism and, well...watching your friend get stung by a swarm of bees.

	BBC - Wales - Mwng
		The resultant album, Mwng (meaning 'mane';), was a bit of a mixed bag - it included a demo recorded in Cian's front room (Sarn Helen), and an ELO-esque pop song about the weather (Ysbeidiau Heulog).
		Mwng also contained SFA's first released cover version - a recording of Datblygu's love song Y Teimlad - although they'd previously made a live favourite out of Meic Stevens' Y Brawd Houdini.
		But their next trick was almost a complete u-turn: eschewing the lo-fi sound of Mwng, they signed a major deal with Epic for their next album, the rather more commercially-minded Rings Around The World.

	BBC NEWS \| Wales \| Super Furries break language barrier
		Their new album Mwng (Welsh for 'mane') sees the group retreating from the combination of pop and blistering techno attacks of past releases, and heading towards a simpler, more organic sound.
		Mwng is a timeless record which could have come out any time in the last three decades.
		"Mwng was mostly recorded live in the studio, but we did not sit down and say it was going to have a specific sound.

	SUPER FURRY ANIMALS Mwng review by nesaf
		What other successful modern day band would risk critical derision and commercial calamity by producing their fourth album at a cost of a mere £6000, the lyrics of which are in a language spoken by less than a million people throughout the world.
		With "Mwng", already the best selling Welsh language album ever, a top 10 in the UK and receiving critical acclaim in the States, the Super Furry Animals have raised that profile even further.
		Described by the band as a "politicised" rather than a political" statement, "Mwng" captures the Super Furry Animals at their very best, doing exactly what they want and channeling all their cultural pride in their beloved country into one fantastic record.

	Mwng - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mwng (Welsh: Mane) is an album by Super Furry Animals.
		The album is sung entirely in Welsh and is claimed to be the most successful Welsh language album ever.
		A special edition of the album released in America also featured a bonus disc, Mwng Bach, comprising the following tracks previously released as b-sides to various UK singles issued by the band:

		Nevertheless, Mwng is my favorite SFA album as it has been craftedin such a beautifully manner, with an abundance of breathtaking brass sections that, coupled with the reduced instruments/vocals, give it an unmistakable warm feeling.
		My only word of caution is that Mwng is a slow starter/burner (albeit this does seem to be the case for most SFA albums).

		After the demise of Creation Records the band recorded Mwng (Mane, as in horse).
		Made for around £6,000 MWNG reached No.11 in the UK album charts, becoming the highest selling Welsh language album.
		Mwng is one of the SFA's best and judging by its reception by fans and critics alike, it was as equally well received as any of their bigger budget albums.

	Splendid E-zine: Features: Super Furry Animals
		The band's label was still waiting for their promotional CDs, and a priority-mailed cassette dub of the album failed to materialize on schedule.
		Erm...it's...you know, it's a language we all speak, so it's as normal for us to do it in Welsh as it is to do it in English.
		Mwng is more of an analog album and the songs are played a bit more "live".

		Mwng (say "mane"), SFA’s Welsh language album, may just finally be the band’s definitive record.
		Whereas their previous record, Guerrilla found the band on some far off planet in outer space, Mwng finds the band back down on earth, lamenting war and personal conflict, the passage of time, the death of ruralism, and well...watching your friend get stung by a swarm of bees.
		The Furries aren’t trying to "stick it to the man" by singing in their native tongue, they’re simply being themselves, in all its innocence: is the root of revolution.

		They made Mwng, an album just as enjoyable as any of their others, just significantly less comprehensible.
		There's nothing straight-forward or predictable at all about them, nothing to assure us that the very next song we hear won't be a disaster.
		But it rarely is. Fuzzy Logic, Outspaced and Mwng have their rough spots, but every last one of these reissues, like Songbook, re-introduce the work of a remarkably creative, nonsensical, beautiful, ridiculous and outrageously fun "rock" band that still makes great music.

		The Super Furry Animals' fourth full-length album, Mwng, is a home-cooked affair.
		True to their muse, the band devised a game plan: record the follow-up to 1999's Guerrilla by themselves, on a low-budget, in their homeland of Wales.
		But the best part is how SFA characteristically stews in their numerous influences, but boils away just enough to create a fresh, individual sound.

	Gruff Rhys interview conducted by Adam Walton
		With 'Mwng' we've been able to let the songs speak for themselves, it was recorded more or less live in a studio in a short space of time so it was done in a much more immediate way than the other albums where we've toiled in the studios for months getting it right.
		Well we had to be aware because, originally, the album was going to come out on Creation and we got a limited budget for it, something like six grand...
		We're also doing the Fuji festival in Japan, the album is released worldwide and, you know, there's so many languages worldwide in the same situation as Welsh, so people will understand what we're on about and the language of the music anyway.

	Super Furry Animals - Mwng - almost cool music review
		Although they'd been around for a couple albums and numerous singles previous, I didn't really hear much of the Super Furry Animals until I picked up their album Guerrilla and it rocked my noodle with a weird slapdash combination of genres and some of the catchiest pop/rock songs I'd heard in a long time.
		After having heard Mwng, I can say that the group still does impress me, just not in the same way.
		It's not really a true follow-up to Guerrilla, since the songs on the release were written by lead singer Gruff Rhys over the course of time since the band got together in 1995.

		It was recorded in Anglesey, Cardiff and Bath and mixed at Stiwdio Ofn by SFA and Gorwel Owen, who co-produced Fuzzy Logic and Radiator.

		An arch-druid, a mwng and a tartby kyle creasonWhen talking about the current state of Welsh rock music the saying, "Heb ddyfalbara athrylith ydy a 'n amhlantadwy gorweddfa" certainly comes to mind.
		Super Furry Animals hold a special place among the new wave of hot Welsh bands as they have always shown an affinity for their native language.
		This is demonstrated on their new album Mwng (pronounced "moong"), which has already reached No. 11 on the United Kingdom charts, making it the first all-Welsh language album ever to be a cross-cultural hit.

	Rhino -- Rhino Recommends - Rzine #405
		On the other hand, this Welsh quintet has never sounded predictable (c'mon, you knew it was coming), as these re-releases of their first five albums aptly demonstrate.
		It's on Guerilla that things start to get interesting, and the fact that Super Furry Animals have discovered their own road less traveled becomes even more apparent.
		The five pinwheel-eyed lads totally trip out on their Welsh language album Mwng, which is a little hard to get into, since most of the lyrics are made up entirely of words that are 25 consonants long.

		I've been a fan of these wigged out Welshmen for a few years now, and each release has proved a rewarding listen.
		Here's one up for Welsh pride - 'Mwng' (pronounced Moong) is delivered entirely in Welsh, and while retaining the pop nature of the group, it also whacks out a fair nod to more pastoral ground and traditional Welsh issues like land and the inherently taboo nature of singing Welsh toons in English.
		No, it's definitely got the SFA cosmic pop hippy thing going.
