MWNG

The band is well known for his sense of humour and some irresistible musical strokes of inspiration. To be sure that only a very limited number of people would grab their thought, they decided to sing in Welsh this time! Big deal, really?

Several tracks are purely experimental and of little value to my ears (the first two ones). The almost human " Y Gwyneb Iau" sounds almost as a highlight. A nice groove and a dark atmosphere which is welcome. But, actually, there are some fine pop tunes on this album ("Dacw Hi"). Simplistic but effective.

I have already said that most of the song from this band seemed to come out from another age: the same observation applies to "Nythod Cacwn" which seems to be taken out the early psychedelic Floydean period. Another good track after all.

Due to their Welsh singing, one could only imagine that the lyrics from "Ysbeidiau Heulog" should be funny. But that's only a guess which is based on the joyful atmosphere.

The long closing song " Gwreiddiau Dwfn , Mawrth Oer Ar Y Blaned Neifion" (ouch!!!) sounds very sad, almost desperate.

I can't be consider as a huge of the band, but I don't think that this album is any worse than its two predecessors. Experimental pop music probably tinted with an even more hermetic humour than ever before "thanks" to these Welsh lyrics.

Two stars.
