Erthygl ar John Cale, Super Furry Animals a Gorkys yn y cylchgawn Americanaidd In These Times:

Yet both bands have found a way to incorporate their national heritage into their music; both have recorded in Welsh, and often return to the language as a badge of pride as well as willful display of stubborn eccentricity and obscurantism. In a sense, the music they make is as much a part of their particular location as the Velvet Underground were to their own. The isolation of Wales mirrors the isolation of New YorkÌs outsider scene of the late Ì60s, enabling artists to gleefully make music free from the constraints of expectation.
