And on the seventh day......



And so creation was over. Well it was for the record label which drew to close with 'Guerilla' by the Super Furry Animals. A shame for all concerned really as the label had nurtured and promoted the fortunes of many a good band/artist since the early eighties. I suppose the end of label that many considered to be the greatest of 'the independents' was inevitable. By getting into bed with Sony Alan McGee had set the ball of destruction rolling to its ultimate conclusion.


Still, at least the last genuine on Creation was a good one. Full of experimentation it marked a sea change for the Super Furries. Perhaps the winds of change move in opposite directions ...?

Purchase some rather fine SFA here - and stay tuned for more Creation stuff in due course

northern lites has always been a hit in our house. i'm looking forward to finding out if it's meant to get faster and wobblier at the end like my 45 does.

although i do find it harder to think of great records on creation than i'd thought i would. my minds gone blank and i can't think of any...
